I called it "Division Winning Manager."
I'll be honest. The Dodgers partied (on Thursday Night) As if they won the World Series. They haven't won a playoff series in 20 years. They need for their pitchers to pitch a hell of a lot better than in 2006, or it will be over quickly. Maddux got past Roger Clemons last night(in win total.) Problem is the guy seems to need atleast 6 days rest to produce one of those good efforts. If they send him out there with less than that, it isn't a good situation. They need Saito to come up huge, because, believe me, that fatboy Broxton is never gunna be the last guy on the mound when a team wins the World Series. The one thing I am hopeful about this time is they clinched with enough time to get over the fact they clinched. Guys like Kemp and Martin aren't that professional. They aren't even keel. They need time to get over success. They don't re-focus quickly. They need time to get set for a new goal. They didn't have that in either 2004, or in 2006. That is called being mentally weak, and that has been a problem with this team. They aren't as professional as they need to be. Joe has probably helped them somewhat with that, but they have a long way to go in that area(especially Kemp.) Kemp is the last guy I want up there with the game on the line. Pop up or whiff.
