In what was suppose to be the year of the St. Louis Cardinals, the LA Dodgers are the ones moving on after a 5-1 victory at St. Louis. Things seem to be rolling for Joe Torre and team. They have home field advantage for their series against the Phillies/Rockies. We haven’t really seen or heard any much coverage about Torre taking on his old ball club. Would now expect that to change quickly.

The postseason tends to expose teams’ weaknesses immediately. The Cards were favored for their 1-2 punch at the top of the rotation and a lineup headed by Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday, but their series showed that bad defense and having Ryan Franklin as a closer just wasn’t going to cut it for them. The Dodgers look really dangerous. I think they can go all the way.
Should be two good playoff series. Yanks looks tough, it might be your year…
