@DodgersNation @burncityconnect ok. Enough. Let’s just #burncityconnect and forget it and MLB and Nike’s cover the earth marketing campaign ever happened before they unleash whatever god awful nightmare inspiring travesties they are holding onto our defenseless psyche’s. Painful

@DieterRuehle World Party. Yes. Always great. Sly smart stuff.

@Gaiven33 @songsbychaplin So what? He is obviously not a pro, didnt go to broadcasting school. Perhaps he was busy in the service. This cult of personality, high TVq, empty suits trained to engage the electronic eye is of zero value. Intelligence has value over blathering fools.

@ucantstop_me @GeorgeTakei It took quite a while to find even one coherent comment in this thread. Does not change the truth of the terrifying lack of knowledge or critical thinkers among us. At least though there is this. Thanks.

@DodgersNation I will take a dominant 162 over a ridiculous tournament played at the end of a marathon season. No sport demands more by a wide margin. Post season is a hypefest and exists to throw a bone at second rate franchises. In current form a nonsensical bore. Doc. As good as they come.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@michael_k_woods @_therealdrose Want to fix it? Lose the wildcard. Of course that will never happen so as follows. A one game playoff for all wc teams and 3rd seed to be played the day after season completion. Winners play 1st & 2nd division winners in a 7 game series to start the next day. Period.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@michael_k_woods @_therealdrose Bah. Clickbait hyperbole. The whole playoff scheme is a sham and a scam. Wild card teams exist only to keep weak teams fanbases interested and to add revenue much ado about nothing to line the coffers of networks and advertisers.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@MLBNow Post season is a sponsor driven hypefest. Much ado about nothing. 162 is a slog and is truly meanigful. Post season has become less & less relevant with each additional layer since divisional play. Bah!

@Msgargoyle13 @RonFilipkowski Beautiful. Here here.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@bluecrew02 @RonFilipkowski You dont call her out. That plays into the game. You hand her the shovel and let her keep digging. Let her go. She is making great headway at burying herself. You simply dont get it.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@EllsworthR104 @RonFilipkowski So let me get this straight. You think all those rich “hollywood elites” with a 100+ jets are “commies”? Do you know what a “commie” is? Friend you need to put down that crack pipe.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@DonLew87 @lisa_liberal Hysterical. Thanks that hit the spot.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@Tfireprivate @DodgersNation Still fun but a completely seperate event. Still largely meaningless. Like all tournaments. A picture of a moment in time.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@Tfireprivate @DodgersNation And what counts? A convoluted sponsor fest tournament after the end of a very long slog that is 162? The world series has always been a construction. A baited hook. Perhaps meaningful when it was only the two league pennant winners. Now? Meaningless.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@Honeyquilts @DodgersNation Embarassing how? Lost a game they came within an eyelash of winning? Dodgers don’t care any more about the friars than they do any other. Padres are done and looking at vacation plans. Dodgers are setting up for post season.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@BryHong @DodgersNation Kinda says it all.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@andyyyymicccc @zooeyd1 @CapybaraMMA @DodgersNation What? Needs? Okay.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@andyyyymicccc @zooeyd1 @CapybaraMMA @DodgersNation Yeah well, that dog don’t hunt. Designer might want to look into getting their money back from whatever school they were slipped their sheepskin.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@zooeyd1 @DodgersNation Sheepishly though i kind of like the Red Sox one. Boston Marathon and all. Still as a boondoggle, on the whole pretty much horrid. The Giants looks like a ncaa div 2 ball team. I heard the designers have been offerred witness protection.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@zooeyd1 @DodgersNation Aren’t they special! All the City Connect uniforms are absolutey god awful. An utterly transparent cash cow/halo project for mlb & nike. Drain more coin from the plebes. All terrible. Dodgers blue pajamas are stunningly bad. Wretched.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@PeteATurner @AGEOFTRENDS @DodgersNation Also, they are largely a collection of carbetbagging soloists. Machado as talented as he is was a poisonous element in the Dodger clubhouse. He appears to be finally growing up, that’s good but they have no Utley, no Turner, no Barnes.

[chris apthorp @pro2er]

@PeteATurner @AGEOFTRENDS @DodgersNation Yeah. That’s nuts and bolts though and some chance happenstance perhaps. What really matters is the culture, the chemistry. I’ve been coaching a very long time and it is hard to measure but hugely important.
