So, the Dodgers lost last night, being eliminated from the playoffs by the St. Louis Cardinals. It was pretty much expected, though, so I am not too disappointed. The year was a good one for the Dodgers: winning the NL West and breaking the streak of 8 straight playoff losses. Hopefully next year the team will have some better pitching, a catcher who can hit, and keep the core group of hitters. And I hope that Ross Porter won’t be let go, as the rumors are indicating. At any rate, I will be rooting for the Astros to beat the Braves tonight, then go on to the World Series against Boston. Hey, it could happen! 🙂
