Why does everyone seem to forget that 11 teams have longer droughts than the Dodgers?
>>76979696
cause the Dodgers blow so much money to be 'perennial contenders' (seriously, when is the last time the Dodgers were not considered a top team?) despite always choking in the playoffs
they've won 8 division titles and 2 WC berths in the 30 years since their last pennant/championship
>the Middle East was at peace, hard to believe but true

the anaheim angels are not bitter rivals since we only play them a lot once every three years.
The Disneyland fucks at least beat the yankees.
The Giants and their even year meme really did trigger me
