    That's pretty typical though in post-season (and not just the G7 type situations) the last 25 years or more and seems to get increasingly shorter, very few starters, even if they have had a good start, seem to be allowed to go more than twice through the order, let alone go deep into the ballgame - and more often than not, the first sniff of a threat and it is straight hand it over the the 'pen.

    But this seaosn it's been a trend through the regular season more and more it seems, so it's not a massive shock that the 'pens have not been able to just be on lock as much as in the past, as overall they've all been expected to do more work than ever before.

    Doesn't matter now really who wins on the side its a box office final now either way with ir being an all New York affair or more likely the old Yankees Dodgers rivalry.

    Let's not forget who became the Dodgers biggest fan after LA stole the team from Brooklyn

    I think all of New York has a right to hold a grudge

    Dodgers win NLCS to face Stinkees in the WS!

    Kinda poetic, knocking out one NY ballclub to set up the Fall Classic against the other one.

    OK, Dodgers, now beat the evil empire.

    The Dodgers are a NY Ballclub themselves, time doesn't make theft any less worse of a crime
