Chicago Cubs at Los Angeles Dodgers, Oct 4, 2008 7:07 PM PDT
I'm at National Sports Grill with some friends so I sadly won't be joining y'all. Just assume I would have said "more like HIroki Kublowda" at some point.

If I had friends who liked the Dodgers, maybe I’d be at the National Sports Grill, too.

Disappointed?
You just not have been there. I was. It was sold out, it was a 9 to 1 Dodger to Cubs fan ratio (a NICE change from the regular season where it seems to be half and half), the place went batshit insane with every score and every time Kuroda had 2 strikes on a Cubbie EVERYONE stood up and waved those towels. WTF are you even talking about? Did you watch it in a bar w/ the sound off? There were numerous points I couldn’t hear myself think, my voice is gone and THERE’S STILL RINGING IN MY EARS AT THIS HOUR!!

Steady diet of sinkers of and I saw one fastball in there. Kuroda hung one of those sinkers in the strike zone, and then another on the outside corner that Lee K’d on.

Hi dodger fans!
Just found this and added it to my blogroll!
Russell Martin is tearing this game up!
I have been waiting 20 years for another World Series trip and maybe it will finally happen!
Thanks for making this site available.
Do you think they will ever pitch to Manny again? LOL

Not if first base is ever open, I’ll say that much. I guess you can’t blame them though…

Just wanted to stop in and cheer on the Dodgers. Had the pleasure of visiting you guys’ Stadium this summer, had a blast. Could use a Dodger Dog right now, but not as badly as the Cubs could use a cold shower. Go Dodgers!

I remember! I saw every World Series since 1966. My favorite was the 1981 Series when, much like this year’s team, no one thought they should have been there.
The awesome homer from Rick Monday in Montreal got us in!

I agree, if it were 1-0 or maybe 2-0 I might have gone for the run, but with 3-0 and a hot Kurodu it was a smart decision.

As an outsider with no feelings one way or another
the Brewers, as their fans deserve it more. The Phillies are the more talented and thus more interesting team, however.

Phillies are definitely the better team, which is why I’d rather play the Brewers. ;)

On the same note
I’d rather face a good team than a hot team, and if the Brewers come from behind and win 3-2, they’ll be scorching while the Dodgers are resting.

Congrats,

I knew the Cubs had burned whatever karma they had built up from 100 years of failure when they acted like a-holes during our “home” series in Milwaukee. Of course, they acted like that throughout the rest of the season, too.
Plus, the Dodgers just played like monsters in the last three games. The Cubs played like shit. They played better tonight, but the Dodgers were still a hell of a lot better.
Good luck in the NLCS, and thanks for taking care of those smarmy dicks.

Joe Torre addressed all the fans still at the stadium 30 min after the game ended
and said a bunch of stuff, but what stuck with me were his last words, “… remember 8 more wins and we’re champions!” Hah! Joe Torre is worth his weight in gold and is a WINNER!!
