    I was 9 and watching with my brother on our tiny portable t.v. (with a 6 inch screen?) in our bedroom.

    It was the first year I had watched baseball and, of course, had fallen in love with the Dodgers during their gritty, underdog season.

    Gibby's home run sent volts of excitement down my spine and I remember almost crying.

    The next day my brother and I went to the park with our bat (with a sawed-off handle) and a tennis ball and acted out the moment over and over again until we got it just right. :)


    that's cool! i did that but it was the 81 world series' ;):D

    Dodgers 5, Cubs 0 - second inning.

    With our ace on the mound I don't see the Cubs coming back.

    Bye bye, Cubs. (Sorry Ed.)

    Nice win.

    A little worried about Saito. At least Broxton has the day off today.

    So... let's say the Dodgers lose. Who pitches game 4? What do you think Torre will do?

    Lowe to start Game 4?

    Manager Joe Torre used superstition as an excuse to not say whether Game 1 starter Derek Lowe would pitch a potential Game 4 on short rest, but hinted strongly that would be the case.

    "I think it's the same thing as not saying until making the playoffs," Torre said. "Derek felt fine today. We certainly know he's aware and on board."

    If Lowe doesn't pitch, Torre said, the most likely candidate to pitch on Sunday would be Greg Maddux. Because Hong-Chih Kuo isn't available this round, Torre said he wanted to keep left-hander Clayton Kershaw in the bullpen.

    Yeah, Saito did not fool anyone, and Broxton couldn't find the zone either, but that line drive out was huge.

    OK. It would be enormous if Kuroda could win tomorrow.

    Dear Dodgers fans - Merry Xmas for the early Manny gift. Had it happened in May, he'd be the NL MVP.

    This series is not over. The Cubs have a deeper pitching staff than the Dodgers. If it goes to game 4, Lowe will be pitching on 3 days rest.

    The Dodgers haven't won a series in 20 years. I am 35. Most of my life has been Dodger disappointment. I am pleased by the first 2 games, but I am definitely not counting my chickens.
