Cards are incredibly tough in that 1st series each year.You have no chance if you draw them in the 1st round.After that,they get tight.If you remember,I wanted no part of the Cards in that 1st series.Pads wanted the division.Well,they got it.Dodgers had their chances in game 1,and then quit before game 2. They had no right to win this after

1)having 2 slow white guys thrown out at the plate(on same play,)

and

2)bringing in Penney with the score tied 4-4.Penney has been totally ineffective the last 2 weeks,but Grady shows the World how much of an idiot he is.The Dodgers had a chance to get that 1st one,and a better coached team probably would have.At some point,you can't just ignore poor fundamental play,and poor coaching.The best way to beat the Mets is to get a lead early on them.Their bats get tight when behind in a game.The Dodgers split a 4 game series with this team at Shea last month.Both Dodger wins were the same.They got a little lead ,and the Mets stopped hitting at all.
