The GIST: They finally did it! The Dodgers slayed their postseason demons to lift their first World Series trophy in 32 years. We’re still cheersing to that!
⚾️Mission complete: Eight straight National League West division titles. Two World Series heartbreaks. Now, the Boys in Blue are champions at last! On Tuesday night, with a little help from Tampa Bay's curious pitching change, right fielder Mookie Betts sealed the deal with an insurance run. Imagine trading Mookie Betts. We literally can’t.
- After years of playoff woes, future Hall of Fame pitcher Clayton Kershaw finally earned his ring. And oft-maligned manager Dave Roberts became the second Black manager and first Asian-American to win the World Series. Representation matters.
- We’re antsy for the future parades to safely celebrate the Dodgers and Lakers together. Mask up, LA!
🏈⚽️Step right up: So...who's next to bring home a championship? For our football and fútbol teams, it's probably not the Chargers or Galaxy. Sorry fellas.
- But the Rams are still potential contenders, especially after beating the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football to move to a 5-2 record. See if the Rams can maintain their stingy defense against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT.
- In soccer, LAFC are in the thick of the MLS playoff mix. Catch them next on Sunday at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT against the San Jose Earthquakes.
