For true 100 percent pure baseball fans, there is nothing, absolutely nothing, worse than the off-season.

…or so we thought.

On Tuesday night, MLB Network, in their infinite wisdom, decided to re-broadcast Game-7 of the 2017 World Series between the Dodgers and Astros. And while this may have gone over well with the half dozen Astros fans in the world, (ok… maybe that was a bit harsh), it absolutely positively and unequivocally did not go over well with the millions of Dodger fans.

On an otherwise quiet Tuesday night in the Twitterverse – at least for die-hard baseball fans who could care less about the latest basketball, football or perhaps even hockey scores – Canada’s biggest Dodger fan Gail Johnson from Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, who lives a mere 3,473 miles from Dodger Stadium, made it perfectly clear in four short words that there was no way on earth that she was going to subject herself to reliving what was arguably one of the most painful Dodger losses in franchise history, especially for Dodger fans born after the 1988 World Series who have yet to witness a Dodgers world championship in their lifetime.

Enough said.

Canadian Dodger fan Gail Johnson flew in from Moncton, New Brunswick to watch her beloved Dodgers in games 1 and 2 of the 2017 World Series – a round-trip distance of 6,946 miles.

Within minutes, Gail’s simple “I’d rater not, thanks” tweet got the collective juices flowing among Dodgers fans which, in turn, generated numerous other comments that mirrored her opinion … including one from yours truly:

It became very apparent very quickly that there are many Dodger fans who share Gail Johnson’s opinion of MLB Network’s decision to re-broadcast Game-7 of the 2017 World Series.

Sore losers? Sour grapes?

Perhaps.

…but like sour grapes, there are a bunch of them.
