Vincente Padilla pitched 7 shutout innings last night to sweep the St. Louis Cardinals right out of the NLDS....Not bad for a man who was not only pitching in his 1st ever playoff start, but also unemployed in August....
Sadly, this series was over when Matt Holliday dropped the ball in left field Thursday Night...It was nice to see the fans give Holliday a nice ovation when he came up to bat...Cards fans have to be the absolute best as far as class and passion in all of baseball....
The Dodgers held the mighty Albert Pujols to just one measly RBI in the 8th inning of a 5-0 game...the Cards also left over 30 men on base in three games...
Andre Ethier was a beast in this series with 2 HR and ya gotta love how Furcal ALWAYS shows up when it matters...both of these guys hit .500 in the NLDS....Bottom Line...this team is STACKED...they have over 7 starters that they can throw out there to start and succeed...I may have been flawed with my World Series pick, but I think it's a safe bet to say that the Dodgers have gotta be early favorites to become the NL Champs!
