The Opponent
The Diamondbacks are quite familiar with the Dodgers. Everyone knows the history, everyone knows about Y-*siel Pu*g and urinating in our pool. The casual dragging us around they’ve engaged in for the last... eleven years? The LA Times called it a one-sided rivalry, while simultaneously announcing that the pool awaited. I don’t know. That doesn’t seem one sided to me.
The Diamondbacks went into the final series between these two teams for the chance to win the season series for the first time since 2018. They were swept.
