I'm not convinced the Cubs' starting rotation is going to be as good next year as they were this year. Maybe it's just the fact that the Dodgers have excellent and patient hitters with a good approach at the plate though. So often, I would see Houston hitters ( mainly Miguel Tejada ) swinging at first pitches against the Cubs.

The Dodgers now lead 3-0 in the bottom of the 5th.

RBI double for Russell Martin!

Wow! Rafael Furcal can sure fly around the bases!
