There was definitely something missing in the chemistry of the team this year. Maybe less hungry for title. Maybe tired out. Maybe because Ross was gone. Maybe because we missed Dexter’s defense (I think the offensive replacement was serviceable). Maybe because there was too much talent and two few spots for regular playing time for kids like Baez. Definitely because the starting pitchers didn’t have it going at first. Who knows. But at least the edge is blunted; last year broke the curse, or proved it never existed, and we all know this is baseball, and even this year’s Dodgers had one of the worst losing streaks in baseball history.

I am genuinely curious what next year’s SP lineup will look like. Will this be Montgomery’s year? I have to say he disappointed me in the spot this year. Will Arrieta stay? Lots of questions.

Ken, thanks for your endlessly entertaining game summariesall year. As I’ve mentioned in the past, your wit and wry humour made many victories sweeter, and most losses bearable.

I appreciate all the work you guys have our in all year.
