Game 3
10/15
Pena v. Stieb
5-3 L to the Blue Jays
That just about seals it for us Dodger fans. This one looked like we were going to steal it and look to even it up tomorrow, but it didn't happen. We got a run in the first when Randolph scored on a Scioscia double. Randolph added another run in the third when we came home on a wild pitch. We took a 3-0 lead in the 6^th when Stubbs scored on a sac fly. Pena was holding the Jays silent and it felt like we had this one. It looked like so many other games we've had before. Bottom six, Lee Lacy tripled and then Willie Upsaw destroyed a ball 440ft into deep right-center. That closed the gap to 1. Pena still pitched in the 8^th, as we clung to that lead. Lacy lead off with a single, Upshaw walked then Jessie Barfield took a 1-1 pitch out of the park and that was the nail. Three more runs, and that was the final score. There's no more magic to go around. 3-0 Toronto.

Game 4
10/16
Rhoden v. Reuschel
3-0 L to the Blue Jays
What a crushing series. Reuschel had it over on us again. There were no big innings. Rhoden pitched well enough, but Toronto scored in the first and the third on singles, then again in the 4^th when Mike Schmidt sent one out. The next batter was Ron Cey. Rhoden hit him and Cey charged the mound. Both were ejected. Denny came on and kept the Blue Jays from scoring the rest of the way. LA was beaten. There was no answer, like the games before, there was no magic and no fight back. Randolph did his part, with 2 hits, but nobody else did anything worthwhile.

Next year? Long way to come to get this far and go home with nothing.
