The Dodgers clinched their 10th NL West title in 11 years last night, yet again in mid-September despite it supposedly being a rebuilding/retooling/transition year or whatever, and they celebrated it as usual.

Figured this would be a good place to dump all the fun stuff from last night.

The Freddie has become A Thing and my dream of having fans do this goofy shit in the middle of a tense playoff series is close to fulfillment.

Speaking of celebrations, we got one I wasn’t aware of between David Peralta and Mookie Betts.

Then there were some interesting interviews, like Max taking Kirsten Watson‘s job with this Miggy Ro case.

Kershaw … I liked this in a heartfelt way, but also it’s sounding scary in terms of coming back, honestly.

Of all the people, I know too well the worrying about October and all that. However, like they say, for now you have to enjoy the journey, not take getting this for granted, and have fun with it.
Really fun group with a mix of veterans and young players, and it’s been a stressful yet entertaining ride in 2023.
