well, this wont mean anything to you youngsters. but when I was a kid there were 16 teams in baseball, 8 in the american 8 in the national. the winner of each league went to the world series, how very simple it was. now the regular season doesn't mean squat. look at the angels 1- 240 mil first basemen gets 2 hits. I- 140 mil outfielder goes 0 for 14. trout gets 1 hit. these clowns are getting millions to produce,and if they don't the owners shoulnt have to pay them. and ,I forgot Kershaw, you know, " the second coming in L.A." fails big time. why don't they earn their money!!
I scoffed when Kershaw got his money last offseason. But then I looked at his numbers a bit closer. In six full seasons (discounting 2008), Kershaw has not had an ERA above 3.00. In the past two seasons, his ERA was under 2.00! The guy was 21-3 this year with a no-hitter. He is one of the best pitchers of the past 30 years, so I'll give him a pass for a couple of bad postseason outings. In an era where stadiums heavily favor the hitter, what Kershaw has done is nothing short of incredible.
