They might be the Yankees in spirit, but until they actually win something like 4 out of 5 like the Yankees did they won't ever be that hated. I feel like there's a lot of indifference among the non-die hard baseball fans towards the Dodgers. That could certainly change, but approaching Yankees, or even Red Sox, levels of hatred still feels unlikely. And given that the playoffs are during football season, people won't hate watch, they simply won't watch at all and will go to football instead.
