I know I've encountered quite a bit of denial about the health of the organization. My circle of friends gets loudly defensive when I bring up the Dodgers, specifically. I get "when's the last time they won a World Series? I'd much rather be us than them." I ask, "even going forward?" Unified response, "Yes, we're only three years removed from a World Series!" Such nostalgia = super fat wallets for the Ricketts and very little questioning of F.O. decision-making Hey it's cool, I'm not gonna tell someone else how to fan/appreciate 2016. I just happen to think the organization somehow messed up this window, maybe even necessitating a rebuild/reload earlier than I thought in the afterglow of '16.
