It was a tough season for the Dodgers, but that last week sure was fun. They ended the Rockies' playoff hopes with a sweep at Coors Field, then took two of three from the Diamondbacks, sending Joe Torre, and Brad Ausmus, out with a win in their final games.
Dodger Batter of the Week: Matt Kemp ended his season as strong as he started it. The Bison went on a home run barrage, hitting long balls in the final five games of the season, tying a club record, and hit .273/.360/.955 with 12 RBI in six games.
Honorable mention goes to Rafael Furcal (4-for-10 with two triples), Casey Blake (four extra-base hits in Coors Field), and Andre Ethier (reached base in his final eight plate appearances of the season.
Dodger Pitcher of the Week: Ted Lilly had two starts this week, and won them both, allowing just two runs total in 15 innings. After a brief lull, Lilly ended his season on a high note, as he hopes to cash in during free agency.
Honorable mention goes to Chad Billingsley, who ended his season by taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning in his final start; and Hong-Chih Kuo and Kenley Jansen, who blew away their opponents in a dominant back end of the bullpen.
