In "Could it be true?" news, the Dodgers beat the Cubs in Game 1 of their NLDS, 7-2. This brings the Dodgers' record in the playoffs since the fateful 1988 season to 2-12. Jose Lima won a game in '04 that barely kept the series alive. This time, James Loney (above) became the 3rd Dodger to ever hit a grand slam in the postseason (Ron Cey and Dusty Baker were the others in 1977), and MVP candidate Manny hit a home run as well that he golfed out. I have allowed myself a brief moment of joy, now back to the belief that we will return to our playoff-failure ways tonight.
In other 1st round news:
- Phils won over the Brewers, 3-1, for their first playoff game win since 1993. Brewers need to win today with the best pitcher in baseball, CC Sabathia, or it's over.
- Red Sox beat the Angels for the 10th playoff game in a row. Home losses don't bode well in the first round, and Anaheim needs to regroup quickly.
