And Steve Sax' "Throwing to First" adventures is stuff of lore. Russell? You can't know Cey, Baker, Lopes ... the '81 Champs and not know Russell. As far as being down 0-2 -- GOOD THING!: History will tell a Dodger fan it's a BIG advantage. And here's hoping your opponent in the 2008 WS is VERY HEAVILY favored! Sure would like to see you guys in the Series again, so the deficit = most encouraging for Blue. PS: In 1983, the Phillies took 1 -- ONE -- game from the Dodgers the entire regular season. One game, on August 26th in Philly. If memory serves, that's 11-1 against Philly that season. So, naturally, who wins that NLCS? This Franchise is always destined to go against the odds. (Look up my screen-name's infamous '88 newspaper column for some good entertainment sometime.) I hope your odds in Vegas are 45 zillion to 0. You can bet the bank on winning it all then.

You’ve got a starter who dominated the Phillies, and you’re going against a guy who’s never had any success against your boys - plus, it’s back at Dodger Stadium, which is huge in a series where the home team has won all ten games this year.

Manny coming out of left field charging at first? I like to see the fire and like to see Martin's smarts to hold him back. Hopefully this gets the momentum swinging back our way.
