Last year's NLCS had the exact same teams as this year's NLCS: Phillies and Dodgers. Last Year, the Phillies would win the series in 5 games and went on to win the World Series. This year the Dodgers improved a little more as they obtained home field advantage this time around. Both had relatively short series' in the NLDS and both sides are well rested for the rematch. Various sports analysts has been talking about the Dodgers Bullpen while also talking about a big game for Cole Hamels in game 1.
Game One's Result: Phillies win 8-6. I was actually proud of Kershaw as he was holding his own for while out there. Then the fifth inning came and the Phillies trampled him with 5 runs including a 3-run shot from Carlos Ruiz. The Dodgers did seem to keep it close however as they scored 3 runs in the fifth (on top of a run scored earlier), but the Phillies just outmatched them. As for the hyping, one dodgers reliever (George Sherill) allowed another 3-run shot, this time from Ibanez. Cole Hamels didn't throw a great game as he allowed 4 runs in 5 1/3 innings. Game two looks to be just as good as some trained veterans face: Pedro Martinez for the Phillies and Vicente Padilla for the Dodgers. GO PEDRO.
P.S. Don't really care who wins but I really like Pedro.
