Do or die...

After yesterdays debacle, the dodgers find themselves in a 3-1 hole.

We were just 1 out away from a 2-2 series tie. ugh...

To stave off elimination and bring the series back to LA, the dodgers have to win game 5 against Cole Hamels.

The Dodgers will send Vicente Padilla to the mound, who held the Phillies to just 1 run in game 2.

Only 11 teams have ever comeback from a 3-1 series deficit to win the series.

The last team to pull it off was the 2007 Red Sox against the Indians in the ALCS...

Can we be the 12th team??

Whatever the outcome is, this has been a great season for the Dodgers, and it has been great to chat with you guys.

Poll

We can win game 5 and bring it back to LA, but I am doubtful we can win the series still
