Dodgers Lose World Series Again Meme

Whether or not you're satisfied with the winner of the 2022 World Series, you have to admit that some people trash talked ane team or the other in the grade of memes. Yes, memes. There were two talented teams—the 2022 World Series champion Houston Astros, who won a championship for the showtime fourth dimension in their franchise'south 52 year history and the Los Angeles Dodgers had a cracking run in the MLB postseason but got diddled out 5-1 in a do-or-die Game 7. The "Houston Stiff" mantra rang true afterward the Astros' first World Serial win and Houston natives had something to cheer for subsequently Hurricane Harvey flooded parts of the 4th nigh populous urban center in the U.s.a..

The 2022 MLB Postseason is over, but the latest memes aren't going to stop popping up on social media someday soon. From the atypical Clayton Kershaw detest from anyone not a Dodgers fan to the unusual spouts on the Astros, we're sure y'all're going to be entertained by this list. Yous don't take to be a fan of either squad or fifty-fifty a baseball fan in full general. Baseball game is America's pastime and while the league'south television ratings may accept declined this season, social media has given regular fans—and sometimes even media members—a voice to poke fun at sports and let loose a lilliputian bit. Basically, social media can make a diversity of topics more exciting to the average person.

Hither's a list of xv contempo MLB memes that are savage.

15 xv. The Kershaw Hate Never Ends

Like the title says, the (Clayton) Kershaw hate never ends.

Don't become us wrong, Kershaw is a tremendous starter who became the commencement bullpen in MLB history to lead the league for four consecutive years from the 2011 to 2022 seasons. As a left-handed pitcher for the Dodgers, he's often compared to Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax.

In the NLDS, Kershaw immune four solo home runs in 6 ane⁄three innings, only all the same picked upwardly the win. In the NLCS, he fabricated two starts against the 2022 champion Chicago Cubs, both of which were Dodgers wins. He appeared in the 2022 World Series. He started in the first game against the Astros, striking out xi batters without walking anyone and allowed just one run on three hits for the win. His 11 strikeouts were the tertiary most e'er by a Dodgers pitcher in a World Series game, trailing Sandy Koufax (xv in 1963) and Carl Erskine (xiv in 1953).

After Game 7, Carlos Correa proposed to his one-time Miss Texas girlfriend, Daniella Rodriguez, and so she got a ring before Kershaw did. Sad, non sorry.

14 14. Seinfeld Reference

Get-go off, permit'due south thank Twitter user Tony Hogan (@tony_hogan) for this gem of a meme. He captioned the photo collage of Fob Sports broadcaster Joe Buck and Seinfeld's George Costanza (played by actor and director Jason Alexander) with "Has anyone noticed Joe Buck has lady glasses like George had on Seinfeld?? ? @Seinfeld2000 @SeinfeldTV @JerrySeinfeld"

We don't know how many people noticed Buck wore women'due south glasses that were quite similar to the ones George wore in an episode of Seinfeld, merely we're guessing not many people before Hogan tweeted the hysterical photo collage on Twitter. At that place'south nothing really wrong with men who habiliment women's glasses, but it's still kind of weird to the conservative folks out at that place.

Now you'll likely never think about this pair of glasses in the same way again. And if y'all've never seen George wear these glasses on prime time television set earlier...well, y'all're only besides young.

13 13. The "West" In Washington

We all know the Washington Nationals have a tendency to choke, but here'south something that you might not accept known earlier seeing this mind-bravado meme: The "W" in Washington could be the first letter of a sentence, especially a judgement that reads "Nosotros've never won a playoff series."

The poor Nats accept lost 4 playoff serial (2012, 2014, 2016, 2017) since their motion to Washington, D.C. Before the Nats era, they lost one postseason series in 1981 every bit the Montreal Expos from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. They were a really bad team dorsum then and they're still a bad squad (or at least they're ofttimes affected by bad luck). Maybe that bad luck is a Washington-based team thing because the Redskins, Wizards (formerly Bullets) and Capitals are in similar situations when it comes to receiving early exits in postseason appearances. We know one thing though-at least fans of those teams are loyal.

12 12. The "C" In Cleveland

Co-ordinate to @BaseballTwitter, the Cleveland Indians inverse their logo...and mantra. The "C" in Cleveland is the first alphabetic character of the sentence: "Chokes away ii game leads."

Since 2011, the Tribe have fared well in the Chris Antonetti and Terry Francona era. In 2012, they broke the MLB Opening Day attendance record against the Toronto Blue Jays with 43,190 fans at Progressive Field in downtown Cleveland. In 2016, they returned to the MLB playoffs for the showtime time since 2013. They swept the Boston Red Sox in the ALDS, defeated the Blue Jays in 5 games in the ALCS and sealed a trip to the World Series against the Chicago Cubs. Unfortunately, they blew a iii-1 pb to the Cubs, which disappointed a lot of their fans.

In 2017, the Tribe blew another lead in the postseason as they lost to the New York Yankees in the ALDS after taking a 2-0 series lead.

11 xi. Darvish'south Game seven Struggles

There was much debate as to who should have started for the Dodgers in Game seven against Houston. After having some shaky postseason outings, including Game 3 of the Earth Serial, many questioned manager Dave Roberts' decision to start Yu Darvish in Game 7, rather than outset Kershaw on ii days balance. The questions were quickly answered in Game 7, as Darvish immune 5 runs in 1 2/iii innings, bringing his Earth Series ERA to 21.lx. Brandon Morrow got the terminal out of the second inning and Kershaw came in and quieted things down, pitching 4 scoreless innings in relief. While Kershaw may not have been able to go much further had he started the game, it's unlikely he would accept put the Dodgers in a 5-0 hole and so early on. The team now has a full offseason of what if.

ten ten. Sums It All Up

Not exactly a meme, but David Robertson'due south reaction in this picture show posted my MLB Memes (@MLBMeme) tin can definitely be used in a meme if it hasn't already been modified.

In the 2022 AL Wild Carte Game, Robertson picked upward a win subsequently allowing no runs and setting career-high numbers in innings pitched (iii i⁄3) and pitches thrown (52). Didi Gregorious, Brent Garner and Aaron Judge scored the prominent runs in the ballgame. A two-out bases-loaded walk to Aaron Hicks extended the Yankees' lead to 8-4 in the lesser of the seventh inning. Aroldis Chapman came in the 9th inning to close out the game for an 8-4 win.

There's nothing like the good feeling you get when your team advances in a postseason. Robertson felt more than just a good feeling though. He appeared to be so shocked that he also grabbed himself down there. We don't know if he knows near this photograph, only if he does, hopefully he can laugh at himself.

9 ix. Will The Montreal Expos Come Back?

MLB Memes not but shares hilarious baseball memes, they also inquire questions to their followers. They likely don't accept the time to answer to all of their followers, but hither'south a funny response from a follower.

MLB Memes quoted an article from 12up.com titled "MLB Rejects Montreal'due south Offer to Host Yankees-Rays Serial" with a simple question: "Was this the right determination?" Apparently, this is a debatable topic, only a Twitter follower with the proper name The Resistant Goof™ (@MetsFanInPhilly) responded with: "they'll have baseball before long!" and included a flick of the defunct Montreal Expos' logo in New York Mets colors.

At that place'due south one thing to answer with a "yes" or a "no" but The Resistant Goof™ was savage in his response. The Mets are 14th in 2022 MLB omnipresence, but with the way they've been playing lately, they might not last as an expansion team for much longer. But we'll see what happens next yr.

eight 8. Reality Check For Yankees Fans

The Yankees and Red Sox rivalry is one of the biggest rivalries in all of professional sports and Boston fans never hold back in calling out New York fans—especially this Twitter user who goes by the proper name of Boston John Mlynczak (@DaBrashBasher).

Mlynczak wrote: "While I'm at it I might as well go ahead and hitting #Yankees fans with a reality #meme too.? #BJMoriginal #RedSoxNation #MLB #ESPN #ESPN2" and included exactly what he said...a reality meme. He's correct though. Chances are, the majority of Yankees fans oasis't seen all nine of those World Series titles—unless if they're older than 56 years old. In that location's no signal in bragging in how many rings your team has won, peculiarly if you've merely seen i or two of them.

The point is, no one really cares most the 9 titles the Yankees won since the 1960 mark. It's certainly more important to focus on the present, not the past.

seven 7. Possible Tears From Red Sox Fans

This year, the Boston Red Sox played their 117th MLB season and their 106th at Fenway Park. But like the 2022 flavour, the Red Sox finished with a 93-69 tape and were two games ahead of the second place Yankees. It was likewise their first season in 15 years without David Ortiz, who retired subsequently the 2022 season.

The Red Sox won their second straight American League E Championship. This was the first fourth dimension they won the division for two years in a row. This was also their ninth segmentation title overall. However, they were eliminated by the Houston Astros in four games in the 2022 ALDS.

On the aforementioned mean solar day the Carmine Sox were out of playoff contention, MLB Memes didn't fail to disappoint us. They tweeted a meme of a Red Sox game going through a pelting delay and captioned it with "Not sure if rain or Ruddy Sox fans tears." Ouch!

6 half dozen. Poor Joe

Beingness the manager for the New York Yankees comes with the about pressure in all of baseball game. Joe Girardi managed the Yankees for 10 seasons and brought them their 27th World Series championship in 2009. He then managed a young squad that had a breakout twelvemonth in 2017, which many considered well alee of schedule. All the same, the Yankees didn't see information technology that way and chose to burn down Girardi later the team'due south vii game loss to Houston in the ALCS.

GM Brian Cashman explained the move recently, maxim: "I made the recommendation based on over a number of years now, some experiences that I was able to validate — whether it was direct or indirectly — most the connectivity and the communication level of the players in the clubhouse."

Well, George Costanza in one case provided tips to Yankees batters in an erstwhile episode of Seinfeld. Perhaps Cashman wants a manager who can convey to the players that to hit, you have to calculate the velocity 'Five' in relation to the trajectory 'T' in which 'G' gravity, of course, remains a constant.

5 five. No Gratuitous Tacos?

Pitcher Luis Avilan wears the No. 44 for the Dodgers. He's far from a household name for the defending National League Champions, but he ought to be recognized for his reactions during the 2022 Globe Series.

MLB Memes had a little also much fun with Avilan'south reactions as they put together a higher of 4 photos and wrote "Game ii And Still No Free Tacos." It's pretty funny, but we're certain the majority of us felt the same way at dwelling house considering we also wanted those tree Doritos Locos Tacos from Taco Bell. Doritos Locos Tacos may non be the about delicious (or legit) tacos in the earth, only they're all the same free tacos. The handing out of free tacos was eventually confirmed when D-backs outfielder Cameron Maybin stole a base during Game 2 of the World Series. Everyone got their tacos on November 1, 2017. But nevertheless, this is a brutal meme that we'll never forget.

four 4. Buck's Honey Affair With Kershaw Remains Relevant

In one case once more, we have to bring upwards Joe Buck and Clayton Kershaw. This time, we're going to briefly break down Buck's so-called beloved affair with Kershaw, which remains relevant on #BaseballTwitter. And this honey affair has produced this bully photo of Buck every bit the helpmate and Kershaw every bit the groom.

According to WGN-Idiot box weather anchor Paul Konrad, the couple were registered at the Crafty Beaver Dwelling Centers in Chicago. He added " Chicago Cubs vs Los Angeles Dodgers in #Chicago tonight. #FlyTheW #NLCS." Sure, the Dodgers came back with a vengeance this year after beingness eliminated past the Cubs last year, just this meme is apparently notwithstanding relevant because Cadet talked too much about Kershaw in the NLCS.

Buck has responded to the alleged claims, telling CBS Chicago, "It's kind of ironic that I would get trouble for being too anti-Cubs when really the logical ending to this is Emmys for all if the Cubs celebrate their showtime world title since 1908...Just y'all can't exercise information technology that style. You have to talk about both sides.'"

3 3. A New Twitter Sensation Was Built-in

This year, #BaseballTwitter went berserk when a new Twitter awareness was born during a Cardinals game on September 25, 2017. Andrew Gudermuth lost his nachos at the Cards game. It all happened when the foul ball off Jedd Gyorko's bat came toward Gudermuth'southward front row seats down Busch Stadium's left field line.

"Out of nowhere," Gudermuth recalled to 102.5 KEZK. "(Addison) Russell comes in, dives over the wall and actually takes my girlfriend out and really pushes her dorsum into her chair. He slid over my nephew's back in the process."

A while later, the Cards gave Gudermuth and his girlfriend a tray of loaded nachos along with new shirts from the Cardinals Squad Store. Some fans also bought the couple Italian shaved ice and asked for autographs.

A little while later on, Russell came out of the dugout and presented him an lodge of plain nachos. Gudermuth then tweeted, "@cardinals thanks for the loaded nachos @cubs thank you for the plain nachos. Thank you cubs and cards. Unforgettable. #nachoman"

Inside an hour, Gudermuth received 7,600 likes and three,000 retweets on his viral tweet.

But that'due south not all. He likewise caught three foul assurance throughout the ballgame and gave one to a young Cards fan. And all this happened at the get-go game Gudermuth was able to nourish during the 2022 MLB flavour. He explained to 102.v KZEK, saying, "We couldn't get last year because my mom was going through chemo." His granddaddy bought them the front row seats. "My gramps surprised us with them. He knew we really wanted to go a Primal game so he bought usa tickets and everything. We didn't await any of that to happen."

2 ii. No More Postseason Kershaw

This meme isn't totally savage because the rest in peace memes have been around for at least the last couple of years, but this yr, Clayton Kershaw proved us all wrong. The Dodgers ace didn't win a World Series with his squad, but he did put an finish to the postseason Kershaw memes floating around the internet. Well, at to the lowest degree for at present.

Kershaw was the starting bullpen for Game 1 of the 2022 Globe Series against the Astros. He struck out eleven batters in the abortion without walking anyone and allowed just ane run (a solo homer) on three hits to earn a win. He likewise picked the wins for two games in the 2022 NLCS confronting the Cubs and ane game in the opener of the 2022 NLDS against the D-backs.

While Kershaw ended an influx of postseason memes, he remained somber after the Dodgers' Game 7 loss to the Astros in the World Series. Kershaw told CBS Sports, "Perchance ane of these days I won't fail, we won't neglect and we'll win ane of these things...There's only i team that can succeed. In that location'due south only one team that wins the last game, so that's tough."

ane ane. Coincidence? I Recall Non!

Remember when Sports Illustrated called the 2022 World Serial...3 years agone?

In case you lot all forgot, the well-known magazine anointed the Houston Astros every bit your 2022 World Serial champs in June 2014. Information technology was more than of a bold prediction than anything else. We don't recollect many people, other than Astros fans, absorbed what the 3-year-old cover said at the time.

"We settled on 2022 considering the Astros' young nucleus would by then exist reaching its prime," Sports Illustrated reporter Ben Reiter told CNN. "It was certainly a long shot, just and so is everything in baseball game."

The readers probably thought the Sports Illustrated staff was crazy because the Astros were dead last and the worst team in baseball in 2014. Maybe this authentic prediction will break the infamous SI cover jinx that normally causes athletes and teams to teeter after appearing on one of its covers. Maybe they also tin can predict the winner of the 2022 presidential election.
