Dodgers: Social Media Roundup of 7th Straight NL West Title
With their seventh consecutive NL West title, the Dodgers have added to the third-longest postseason appearance streak in MLB history. Given the overall goal of winning a championship at least, it may not seem like much. But no celebration should be taken for granted, and especially after barely winning the division last year, this early clinch is especially gratifying.

First, the best moment of the night: a video chat to make sure the injured Max Muncy and Alex Verdugo were present. They did so much to carry the 2019 team, and deserved to be there:

ESPN, meanwhile, made for less adept coverage:
Casey Sadler enjoyed an especially tender moment with Tommy Lasorda:
Tonight we clinched, but tonight I didn’t have my best game.
After celebrating winning the West, Tommy asked to hold our daughter Kaysen and said “she makes your not so good nights, go away a lot faster doesn’t she?” Yes, yes she does.#perspective #wisdom #legend pic.twitter.com/D0dhNuvsTY— Casey Sadler (@CaseySadler65) September 11, 2019
Of course, there was the requisite team photo:
