The Dodgers were not interested in the trade deadline.
They couldn't be paid to raise an eyebrow.
The Padres could have traded for a lot of players, but the Dodgers wouldn't have paid much attention.
People were ready to crown San Diego the National League champ after the acquisitions of Josh Hader and Josh Bell. I believe the World Series parade was already planned by the mayor of San Diego.
They still need to play baseball, that's what they forgot.
The Dodgers and Padres played three games at Dodger Stadium. There were all the new Padres there. The new best team was supposed to be crowned the official winner.
Peter Seidler was interviewed by the Sunday Night Baseball show. The team did not have the best record. Vin Scully spent 67 years with the team. It was supposed to be the start of the Padres run to glory.
It wasn't.
The Dodgers extended their NL West lead to 15 games over the Padres after sweeping them.
The Dodgers had just one earned run in the whole series, which came in the 9th frame of Friday night's win. From the first pitch on Friday night until the last one on Sunday night, it was pure dominance. The Padres looked like a different team than the Boys in Blue.
The Dodgers have won 8 of 10 against the Friars this year and will see them again before the playoffs.
Wait until Fernando Tatis returns.
People around the Padres seem to be saying that. I will return one to them.
Wait until Walker Buehler and others return.
The rest of the league needs to be afraid. This is the first time that the Dodgers are doing anything like this.
The most loaded team in baseball is on pace to win 112 games. Andrew Friedman didn't need to make a lot of changes this trade deadline. He knew the team was capable of winning a World Series. He knew they were going to get better as their guys came back from theIL.
The MLB record for most wins in a single season is 116, achieved by the 1906 Cubs. There is a chance that the Dodgers could set a new one.
The Dodgers are the best team in all of baseball. The Dodgers are San Diego's Padre according to this weekend's confirmation.
