MLB To Give Dodgers Mulligan on Game 6

By JP

In a stunning development, Major League Baseball, at the urging of TBS, has decided to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a mulligan on Game 6 and have it replayed Sunday afternoon. According to a source who wished to remain anonymous, "TBS felt that Clayton Kershaw wasn't feeling well during game 6 and therefore it wasn't a fair game."

Obviously the entire previous paragraph was bullshit. In watching most of the NLCS on TBS, I felt that the analysts and announcers really wanted the Dodgers to win. But that's not the fault of the Dodgers.

So, just for the hell of it, let me tell you about some observations that I made about the 2013 National League Championship Series. Follow me down the Yellow Brick Road and I will lead you to the Emerald City where we will meet the Wizard (NOT Ozzie Smith) and he will grant us three wishes. Sorry, I never really finished watching The Wizard of Oz, so that's how I assume it ended.

Right Where They Want Them

That's right. LA has St. Louis right where LA wants them. According to MLB.com, LA is in very good shape to win the series. In fact, even in an article about Joe Kelly and the St. Louis Cardinals, MLB.com cannot help but reiterate that LA is in great shape. The aforementioned article, again may I remind you ostensibly about Kelly and the Cards, seems more like a piece trying to encourage the Dodgers than just report the news. Sure, it's just fine to write an article pointing out that LA has Zack Greinke going tonight in game 5 and Clayton Kershaw going game 6. But, if the article professes to be about the Cardinals (based on the title of the article), then please be about the Cardinals.
