It's not. Bragging rights =/= Theatrics levels ESPN tries to obtain. They focus so much on trying to find some heart warming story on sports it's funny.

It's 2013, there is no excuse for ESPN being your sole source of sports "information"/drama/entertainment.

I mean, I understand the celebration. It's a big deal. But I wouldn't want to ignite a division rival.

I certainly never said it was. If I want to look at stats or lineups I go online. I haven't watched it in years. I just think it's dumb how they try to romanticize a game. It's like when Kurt Warner was in the superbowl they talked for weeks about him being a good Christian man who stocked soup cans and adopted kids before becoming an NFL quarterback. I don't need a saga to go along with it all.It's 2013, there is no excuse for ESPN being your sole source of sports "information"/drama/entertainment.

I didn't think the Dodgers celebration was over the top or classless it would only be if they peed in the pool.
Braves only 1 game to clinch
suck it Nats
Andy Pettite is not a hof no sympathy for anyone that used steroids shouldn't even be mentioned or even be on the ballot.

The Dodgers celebration wasn't over the top or classless. Remember these guys were in LAST PLACE in July. They came back and won the division easily, they deserve to celebrate especially clinching against your division rival. Their pitcher said it best they need to work on things so they can be celebrating in their own pool next year.

Agrees on both. Kind of raises a question, though.
Buy or sell. Not just baseball, but in all pro sports, if you HAVE TO make a case for a player they're NOT a HOFer?

Props to the Dodgers for celebrating in the DBacks swimming pool.

As a team they are sticking a collective middle finger up at the D-Backs...after some of the **** they pulled earlier in the year, that dip in the pool had to feel so good for the Dodgers. Hi, Ian Kennedy.

If the Diamondbacks didn't want the Dodgers to swim in their pool, they should have beat them, plain and simple.

I don't get this logic at all. It's fine to celebrate but jumping in the pool is going over the top! It reminds me of when Patriots beat the Chargers in playoffs and mocked them on their logo at mid-field

There's a difference between mocking a team on their logo and celebrating. When you've worked your *** off since spring training, you can celebrate in any way you want. If you don't like it, don't let them win.

Plus the dbacks prez had the nerve to ask them not to celebrate on field if they clinched, that combined with the emotion of winning the division after being a billion games out and left for dead, and the bad blood from the brawl game....classless or not, don't eem care. Throwing at greinkes head was pretty classless too, so we're even.

Mesoraco coming up BIG tonight.
I loved B Ham swiping second on Martin at crunch time, after Martin said he couldn't wait to throw him out tonight.

Didn't last year's late season collapse hurt?
