DODGERS

Well, they finally did it. The Dodgers finally clinched the NL West division. For those of you who do not know a lot about baseball or haven't watched it lately I will break it down for you. The Dodgers just needed one more win the win the division and advance into the playoffs. Unfortunately the Dodgers lost 5 games in a row after they knew that and the second place team won 6 in a row. This is a big problem because this weekend was the last weekend of the regular season and the last three games were against the Rockies which were in second place. The Dodgers had three games to win one and they finally did it yesterday 10/3/09. You can read more about this event at http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-dodgers-rockies4-2009oct04,0,222031.story. I was kinda scared for a little bit though. I love to watch sports and I get really into the end of the season. The Rockies were hot and had a 6 game winning streak while the Dodgers had a 5 game losing streak. The Dodgers only had to win one game against them to clinch the division but there were my doubts. I still had faith in the Dodgers because they have every thing it takes to be the NL West division champions. One thing that was proven throughout these last couple of weeks is that the Dodgers are consistent every year. They always start out super good like this year with spending most of their games with the best record in baseball but this past week were close to losing the NL West title. This proves that this year like the rest started out good but ended with a lot of losses. They did pull it off though and get the home field advantage for the NL Championship. GO DODGERS!
