Or maybe the cheapskate ownership will make itself known.

Yeah, there are some owners who don't put the team first.... and their poor ticket sales are reflected in their failure to scout, develop, make the hard decisions.
Yes, LA is a lucrative franchise, but without the single-mindedness they are famous for, any franchise could be trashed (attendance crashed during the dismal Frank McCourt era). I remember Tommy Lasorda walking around as the retired manager telling morose staff and fans to think positive, suggesting the McCourts wouldn't last... and he was right.

We bleed blue. I got my first transistor radio confiscated in a Jr High classroom listening to Vin Scully calling the '65 Dodger/Twins WS game, the wire to the earpiece not concealed well enough.

I came home from the beach before WS Game 1 to find a Sandy Koufax jersey hanging to the left of the TV, and a Jackie Robinson jersey to the right. The ball on my desk is signed by Alston, Durocher, Koufax, Drysdale, Parker, Wills, Roseboro....etc.

Last night was one for the books. Shohei reaching base 9 times... Mookie making great plays, Kersh coming out of the bullpen to shut down a dangerous inning... and Klein! He's never thrown more than 2 innings in his brief Pro career, and never pitched under post-season pressure. One base hit over 4 shutout innings! And his expression after spearing that line drive shot right at him..priceless!
“Well, I realized that when I looked around in the bullpen, and my name was the only one still there,I was just going to go until I couldn't.”

After all that it's still anybodies series to win.
8 HOURS TO FIRST PITCH.
