The Sun has set on the Dodgers 50th Season in Los Angeles.
For the 20th consecutive year - the "Boys of Summer" are on winter vacation - without a World Series ring.
The Phillies were the better team - as sure as Manny Ramirez is NOT coming back to LA next year.
After the game, Owner Frank McCourt told me, "It takes two to tango".
Not exactly a ringing endorsement to have #99 in Dodger Blue next year.
Let's face it - the Dodgers without Manny - and this team is the San Francisco Giants.
The Dodgers only scored 20 runs in the five games against Philadelphia. Manny hit over .500 and drove in more than one-third of those runs!
I hear fans screaming at Manager Joe Torre. But considering they lost four of five -
and Cole Hamels pitched like Greg Maddox in his prime - the Dodgers were destined for the golf course.
It's tough to advance when your shortstop makes more errors in one inning - than your entire team scored runs over the course of nine innings.
See 'ya next year. I'm just not sure who we're going to be seeing.
