Dodgers zeroed in

Hidden somewhere behind the dominant storyline, a saga of the wind being let out of a famously windy city, there was another masterpiece by suddenly masterful Dodgers right-hander Chad Billingsley.

LA Dodgers complete series sweep of Chicago Cubs

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Los Angeles Dodgers completed a three-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs with a 3-1 victory on Saturday to advance to the National League Championship Series.

The Dodgers took a 2-0 lead in the first inning on a double by James Loney. Starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda kept the Cubs in check into the 7th inning before relievers Cory Wade and Jonathan Broxton sewed up the win.

The Dodgers advance to the NL Championship Series where they will face the winner of the Philadelphia Phillies-Milwaukee Brewers series. The Phillies lead that series 2-1 after a Brewers win on Saturday.

Reverse Psychology

This is the Cubs' big chance. This is their Red Sox moment.

The Cubs now face the same galling indignity, and the same disguised opportunity, that Boston grabbed so spectacularly four years ago when it trailed the Yanks three games to none but came back to reverse the curse.

The Cubs aren't just three wins in a row from coming back against the Dodgers to win a division series. If they can pull it off, they are probably three wins from launching a drive to their first world title in 100 years.

a 'common' theory

At first glance, they look anything but alike, these Dodgers with their beach-ball fans and laid-back manager, and these Cubs with their passionate, hard-drinking fans and their fiery, dirt-kicking manager.
