Sometimes you watch a series and wonder if both teams are even playing the same sport. The Los Angeles Dodgers just outscored the Angels 31-3 over a three-game Freeway Series sweep, and folks, that's not a rivalry - that's a massacre.

Let me break this down for you. The Angels managed exactly one run per game while the Dodgers averaged over 10 runs per game. This is historically lopsided even for a rivalry series that's been one-sided for years. The gap between these franchises has never been wider.

The Dodgers are a perennial powerhouse - championship contenders every single year, loaded with talent, operating with one of the biggest payrolls in baseball. The Angels, meanwhile, are lost in the wilderness. They've wasted the primes of generational talents like Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani (who left for the Dodgers, by the way), and they're showing no signs of turning things around.

This series was supposed to be competitive. It's a crosstown rivalry. These teams play each other multiple times a year. But what we witnessed wasn't competition - it was a clinic. The Dodgers hit, pitched, fielded, and managed circles around the Angels for three straight games.

Angels fans had to sit there and watch their team get absolutely pummeled by their crosstown rivals. That's the worst kind of loss in sports - not a heartbreaker, not a close game that could've gone either way, but a total and complete domination that leaves no room for moral victories.

The Freeway Series used to be fun. It used to have meaning. Now it's just a reminder of how far the Angels have fallen and how dominant the Dodgers have become. One franchise is built for sustained success. The other is stuck in neutral with no clear plan forward.

Thirty-one to three. Think about that. The Dodgers scored more runs in one inning of this series than the Angels scored in the entire series. That's not baseball - that's batting practice.

Angels ownership needs to take a long, hard look at what they're doing because this is unacceptable. You can't compete in the same market as the Dodgers if you're going to put a product like this on the field. Fans deserve better. The players deserve better.

Accountability. Excellence. And right now, one franchise in has it, and the other is getting embarrassed on national television.
