Also want to congratulate the Dodgers on their 3-Peat. Sorry we couldn't have given you guys a better series. We needed to be at our best to compete and we weren't even close. Three in a row is amazing and with Shook and company onboard again next year it will take a major effort to end the Dodger's streak. Good Luck to all.
A tip of the cap to this entire ball club. Shook was incredible as always, but Andy Sardella was "the difference" for this club all year, and especially during their playoff run. With Lounello on the shelf, Andy inherited the number two spot in the rotation, and performed more like a 1A!!! Zero earned runs during the entire playoffs?!! Ridiculous! Way to go Andy! The defense and offense backed up the spectacular pitching on their way to a 3-peat! Great season gentlemen! It took me a little while to "get over" our poor performance in the finals, but I realized that it was more about Andy and Mr. Shook then it was about us. Hats off to you gentlemen. I look forward to the challenge of being the team that finally ends this historic run! See you in 2014!
On behalf of the Dodgers I would like to say thank you for the kind words. We really had our stuff together for the majority of the playoffs, and our defense was epic! Congrats to the Cubs on yet another great season, and to all of the teams for giving all that you have! God bless.......Andy
