Dodgers Leverage 'Dinosaur' Jab in Victory Over Padres

The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated their National League Division Series victory over the Atlanta Braves with a subtle retort to a recent comment made by the San Diego Padres' owner. As manager Dave Roberts addressed his team following the 4-1 win that secured their spot in the NLCS, a voice from within the organization was overheard saying, "And we're dinosaurs."

This remark directly referenced a comment made by new Padres owner José E. Feliciano. Prior to San Diego's wild-card series game against the Chicago Cubs, Feliciano stated, "The owner of the Dodgers owns a lot of dinosaurs," a remark perceived by many as a jab at the Dodgers. Roberts' team appeared to embrace the label as a point of pride.

While it remains unconfirmed who exactly uttered the "dinosaurs" comment, some fans on social media have speculated it may have been player Miguel Rojas. The team's victory and subsequent celebration were captured in images, showing players in high spirits after advancing.

The Dodgers' win sets them up to await their National League Championship Series opponent. As of this report, the Milwaukee Brewers hold a 2-1 series lead over the Padres.
