When the Dodgers pulled away from Atlanta during Game 4 of the NL Division Series, thanks to Manny Machado’s three-run blast, I could have sworn I heard Braves’ fans chanting, “OhhhhhOhhhhhhNoooooooooo! OhhhhhhOhhhhhhhhhNooooooo!”
How appropriate that the Dodgers finally silenced the obnoxious Tomahawk Chop on Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Now, if only that racist tradition can be permanently placed in the trash heap of history.
In his NLDS start against the Braves, Clayton Kershaw pitched eight shutout innings with only 85 pitches. The former strikeout king had only three strikeouts in his masterpiece.
If the Sandy Koufax version of Kershaw in his 20s gives way to a Greg Maddux version of Kershaw in his 30s, I think we Dodgers fans will have a lot to celebrate in the decade to come.
