The Dodgers won again last night, a 10-3 thrashing of a bad-looking Cubs team. In 2 nights, the Dodgers have won more playoff games than they had in 20 years. Manny continued his amazing hitting with another home run, extending his postseason record to 26 dingers. Manny is the first Dodger to hit home runs in consecutive road playoff games since...Kirk Gibson. Wow. As bad as the Cubs played (4 errors and such), the Dodgers played that well. Besides taking advantage of the mistakes, they also played good hit-and-run, timely bunts, and Chad Billingsley (above) pitching his ass off. Now it moves to LA for Game 3, where we face the best Cubs pitcher in Rich Harden.
In other LDS news:
- The Phils beat baseball's best pitcher and thumped the Brewers 5-2. Milwaukee barely squeaked in, lost their #2 pitcher in Ben Sheets, and kept pushing CC on 3 days' rest. But Brett Myers looked unhittable and Philly should finish them off quickly this weekend.
- The Tampa Bay rays won their first-ever playoff game, 6-4, as Evan Longoria hit 2 home runs in his 1st 2 at-bats, becoming only the 2nd player to ever accomplish that.
