A herd for sure, Vance. Playoff baseball is a casserole filled with many ingredients…..luck being one of them. The Doyers were given a gift and they capitalized. The Cards lost that series (particularly that game) because they couldn’t throw strikes…..Holliday didn’t throw one pitch in that 9th inning black hole bullpen pitching performance….ugh, I’m not a Dodger fan or a Cardinal fan…..but I don’t think I ever wanted to vomit and sling tadpoles at the same time before. I love great baseball….but often the worst playoff diamond meltdowns can be equally satisfying. Ooooooo, baby, and as Karen Carpenter would say (yak sound followed by flushing toilet), “We’ve only just begun”. ByeBye.

I think you will find in most championship runs there is a defining game. A game where the eventual champs “stole” one or “got away with one” on the way to winning the championship… eg. Michael Jordan pushing off Byron Russel – stole it, Tom Brady and the “tuck rule”-stole it, Marlins and Bartman in the stands – stole it etc. Yesterdays game could have been that one defining game for the Dodgers. I hope it is!!!!

Holliday had the opportunity to save the Cardinals from themselves, but he failed. However, as you concluded, they are all culpable.

As Jim Rome always says “The only thing that matters is scoreboard” ……..and to your point, the Cards have offered their pitchers little or no run support.
