The Dodgers are a better team than the Cubs

I am ready now to admit that the Dodgers are the better team. Was it a gentleman's sweep? Yeah, it was. I love the gentleman's sweep.

The Dodgers defeated the Cubs 4-1 in the 2017 NLCS.

The Yankees are the No. 1 team in the 'Team of Destiny' power rankings

My guess is the Yankees. The Yankees, currently right now, if we're doing our team of destiny power rankings, they're clearly No. 1. The pinstripes are popping extra hot right now.

The Yankees lost the 2017 ALCS to the Astros, so they were ultimately not the team of destiny.

You cannot have a championship drought if you have never won a title

The Astros, the Indians are the longest drought for Major League Baseball. Yes. For a championship. The Rangers are second longest. The Astros are third. The Rangers and the Astros have never won a World Series. Can you have a drought if you've never won a World Series? Because I say no.

This is a subjective definition of the term 'drought' in a sports context.

Kris Bryant was likely playing through an injury during the playoffs

Look for Kris Bryant to come out with maybe like a little surgery soon. A little hockey surgery. Clean up. He's been injured. That's what I'm saying... I'm going to say lower body. Yeah. He'll just get his ankle cleaned.

While Bryant had various injuries in his career, there was no major 'clean up' surgery announced immediately following the 2017 season specifically for an ankle.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
