I hope that I see this sign flashing again after Thursday's game.

The Dodgers tend to puzzle the other team with their offense

The Dodgers have believed in players that other teams didn't want, for example Vicente Padilla, who has pitched well for us.  He will probably start Game 3.  He had never pitched in postseason but pitched well against the Cardinals.
 
Most of all, the Dodgers played like the champs they are with all their heart and soul
 
We fans at Dodger Stadium always supported them.  In fact this season again, the attendance broke all records
 
It just seems like it was a hundred years ago that I was at Spring Training and we had just signed Manny Ramirez.

GO DODGERS!!!
 
Thank you everyone who is supporting the Dodgers this postseason.   I know that many whose teams did not make it this far has pledged their support for the Blue.  A special thanks to Matt Peaslee.
 
I'm feeling a little sick the last few days so I feel a little out of sorts.

And thank you everyone for reading my blog.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, Cat, but I know that watching your Dodgers play tomorrow tonight will cure whatever's ailing you. That post was a really nice highlights reel of why the Dodgers are where they are. All the elements have come together, just as you said. Good luck tomorrow!!!!

Thanks Jane. I know a Dodgers win will make me feel better. Good luck to your Yankees.

Cat,
Nice set up with the photo blog today.
Shows some great progression through the playoffs by everyone, even us bloggers.
I am looking forward to this series and hope it can be a All-LA series.
But it is too early to count those chickens, so let's just hope for great baseball and wins by a team that likes to wear............BLUE.

You guys will get extra stuff from the likes of Wolf and Padilla, as ex-Phillies am sure they'll want to prove a point, kind of scary really...:-)

Feel better Cat! Thank you for posting. A game at beautiful Dodger Stadium with the Blue family will probably be just what you need :) Thinking good thoughts...

CAT,
I am soooooo ready! It is going to be an exciting series. Best of luck of Kershaw for Game 1 TONIGHT!. I hope our Young Pitcher can take care of business. DODGERS....LET'S KEEP PLAYING LIKE CHAMPS!

I hope that you are feeling better. We need you with full energy at the home games. The Dodgers need your cheering and snaping of pixs! Hope to see you at Game 2...I will e-mail you our seat locations!

Cat its never well when your not feeling well and playoff baseball is going on. It can only worsen your pride and your fandom at once. Hopefully you get through!! "WE BELIEVED" that was the Dodgers' story this year.

A Dodgers-Yankees World Series would be great! In fact, any of the possible World Series matchups left would.
