LA Dodgers: World Series Bound! An NLCS Game 5 Retrospective

By an 11-1 score, the Chicago Cubs season hath-been ended by new National League Champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Dem Bums now await Tuesday's game-one of the World Series -- as well as finding out who they'll face. Please Jew Santa and/or Baseball G-ds, make it the Damned Yankees?
Enrique Hernandez hit a homer not once, not twice, but thrice. Including a third-stanza grand-salami. Dodgers ace-hurler Clayton Kershaw didn't lose the lead he was spotted, surrendering only three hits culminating in one earned-run with five strike-outs over six-frames. He joins Burt Hooton with three post-season wins -- tops in the club's history. Hooton was drafted by the Cubbies in 1971. Last year, it was the Chicagoans whom celebrated this series win twixt same squads. This is LA's first Series trip since 1988. I like history.

The Cubs John Lackey, dealing in what may-be his swan-song outing, was touched-up for a pair of tallies in the fourth. He finished stronger, with a 1-2-3 fifth.
