Lifelong Dodgers fan here, going back to Sax, Garvey, Cey, Sutton, Yeager, John, Lopes, Monday, Baker, Fernando freakin Valuenzuela, Scioscia, Guerrero, Howe, et al...
and to all y'all, who farking cares. The '88 Dodgers are enough to carry any fan through a lifetime- yes, my team is ETERNALLY cooler than yours!
Let the Astros and BoSox have their playtime. Those teams needed a good thumb-sucking, and they got it. Congrats to them both on their victories.
Limited sarcasm aside, I've watched so much of Kershaw's career, and he didn't look any different in the post-season. I never once lost faith in his abilities, and not just from being a fan, he just always looked like exactly the same pitcher. I couldn't understand any of it, then I'd go right back to hoping he'd come in in any clutch situation... and he'd get shelled again. This crap explains a lot.
