(78,249 posts)1. The Dodgers have sucked longer than I have been alive.
They've sucked since moving to La-La Land in '58. I was born in '64.
World Championships in 1959, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1981, and National League pennants in 1977 and 1978.

(78,249 posts)3. "Sucked" as in been the object of scorn and derision
Much like most of America feels about the Yankees, even -- maybe especially -- when they're piling up the championships.

Bay Area sports fans are required to have zero love for anything remotely connected to L.A. sports teams.
It's in the rules somewhere, I think.
GO KINGS GO.

others, but I don't have anything against the Dodgers, Lakers, etc. But the Angels on the other hand...I don't like them too much.

Unfortunately, they were Padre tickets. I was grateful, nonetheless.
