On the surface that doesn't make much sense, because the Dodgers were a much better team at home this year than they were on the road, but this thing is about pitching matchups.
I have zero confidence in Kuroda, and then I think Ted Lilly will get the job done for the Cubs in Game 4. It has looked like a total mismatch so far, but I think the odds of Kuroda beating Harden are slim, and one victory by the Cubs can turn the whole thing around.

We got 3 games to win 1. Be terrific to win a playoff series at home. Dodgers have been much better at home this year. Kuroda can be a warrior. It's a matter of whether he has anything to give. He is very mentally tough, but he is unprofessional at controlling his pitches. He can go from contending for a no hitter to getting knocked out in the 3rd or 4th inning. Given this particular situation, I think he is gunna step up, and be a warrior. It's a guess though. I absolutely love watching Furcal play this game. He was our heart n' soul, and then he was gone. I think just about everybody thought we lost him for the year. Getting him back was a big surprise. Watching him hit, and streak down the 1st baseline is a huge rush. I think he is a big part of this. He gives everyone that lil extra bit of confidence. He is a star. Absolutely a star. Now we have 2 stars. We have beaten this team here this year. I think they are gunna do it, and the party is gunna be a blast. This organization needs to win a playoff series very badly. Everybody wants to win a world series, but a playoff series win is gunna bring a lot of pride back to an organization that has had it's a-s-s kicked around for 20 years. Most of these guys still have that sick feeling from getting swept by the Mets. This is the only way to get rid of that embarassment. We don't have much to close games with right now. We have got a problem with Saito. He is not right. I think we can take this at home. It's important to do this at home with the L.A. Fans. They are gunna be determined. If CUBS want this, then they are gunna have to beat a very hungry group, and very hungry fans.
