2038 WORLD SERIES vs LOS ANGELES DODGERS
LA won their division at 96-66. Hitting was NL average across the board with one exception: 271 home runs, leading the majors. 1B Willie Alvarez and RF Dave Tasca led the way with 41 each, SS Heriberto Martinez added 39, and C Jake Durfee 31. Luckily for us, Tasca is out for the series. The real mark of their success was on the mound: first in runs against, starter's ERA, bullpen ERA, hits allowed, opp AVG, etc etc. Jose Escobar won 17 games, 2.89 ERA, and struck out 246 in 199 innings. Chris Ellis (2.92, 169 K, 176 IP) and Francisco Gonzalez (3.27, 141 K, 157 IP) further anchor the rotation. However, Andy Fisher, their ace (2.85, 14-5, 250 K, 186 IP), is on the DL and won't be available. They're also missing two relievers and starting CF Mike Newman. Hopefully that's all good for us...

Game #1, October 24 @ Hawaii... WIN 7-4 ... McArthur and Mullen double home three runs in the third, we tack on three more in the fourth and we chase Ellis in the fourth with a 6-1 lead...Groff and McArthur drive in 2 each...Hart gets the win...HAW leads 1-0
Game #2, October 25 @ Hawaii... LOSS 5-8 ... Groff homers in the first, staking us to a 3-0 after one...the Dodgers claw one back in the second, fifth, and sixth to tie it, and we retake the lead on Mullen's double in the bottom of the sixth...then the bullpen gets involved, and Key puts five runners on in the eighth and ninth and they all score...game over...series tied 1-1
Game #3, October 27 @ Los Angeles... LOSS 6-7 ... tied 1-1 in the bottom of the fourth, Durfee hits a grand slam...Martinez's three-run shot makes it close again until Durfee hits a solo shot in the sixth...we load the bases in the eighth and Dunklee singles home two to tie the game...and then Key is victimized deep again in the 8th, ugh...LAD leads 2-1
Game #4, October 28 @ Los Angeles... WIN 7-3 ... Casillas looks shaky early, and we're down 3-0 after three...then Holguin doubles home one in the fifth, Groff hits a two-run shot in the sixth, and a three-run dinger in the seventh...series tied 2-2
Game #5, October 29 @ Los Angeles... WIN 7-6 ... we score twice in the first, give up one in the bottom, and then give up a three-run shot to Nelson in the third...we claw it back with a Mullen two-run blast in the fourth to tie it at 4, then give up the lead on an Alvarez double in the fifth...we smallball our way to the win in the sixth, with a walk, two singles, wild pitch, and an error to score 3 runs, and we're just a game away...Hart roughed up tho...HAW leads 3-2 !!!
Game #6, October 31 @ Hawaii... LOSS 1-4 ... damn...LA scores all four runs on three more HR and Gonzalez outpitches Jones...typical Dodger baseball...we outhit them 9 to 7, but get no extra base hits...series tied 3-3
Game #7, November 1 @ Hawaii... down 3-2 in the 7th, with one out Wiggins doubles and Collins singles him to third, but Martinez strikes out and Mullen grounds out, inning over. Bottom of the 8th, now down 4-2...Robertson singles, Groff singles, Drayton walks, bases are loaded. But...McArthur strikes out, Dunklee pops out, and Wiggins grounds out. Another rally snuffed. Forward to the 9th: Collins singles, then Martinez whiffs, Mullen flies out, and Robertson pops out...and it's all over. Crash and burn.

Crap.
Damn.
