Grand slam! Grand slam!

So I delayed going to the bar as long as I could and then somehow kept my eyes averted from the TVs for the inning and a half left in the game when I got there.

So when I left the only thing I knew was that it went a full 9 innings, which means I knew that either the Dodgers won or they lost it on a walk off in the bottom of the 9th.

Yay for winning! Although the over-analytical side of me had kinda hoped they lost. I will be shocked if they win BOTH games in Chicago. Since we have tickets for Satuday's game in LA and assuming they're only going to win one, I'd have hoped it's the one just before the game we're seeing so they have momentum.

But a win's a win and now maybe we'll get to see them go for the sweep!

:D :D :D :D :D :D

I feel sorry for Zambrano....a little.

Oh, how I would love to see the Dodgers vs. Red Sox.

Seriously.

By far the most important play of the night was Furcal's at-bat in the 2nd inning. Not only for keeping the inning alive and getting Martin to the plate, but for the fact that it was on a bases loaded drag bunt for a single. No more questions about whether he's healthy enough to use all his abilities after that!

Sweep!

Manny should win NL MVP.

Hard case to make when he played less than half the season in the NL, even with his impact.

And as far as the post season, Loney is clearly the MVP of the Dodgers series.

Crap.

On the plus side, erase one uncharacteristic error and the Dodgers win that game. They can't be too upset with that.

You mean leaving Lowe in there after the 5th inning? ;)
