I asked John for one piece of advice. He said don't let Miggy beat you. I don't listen. Only 2 hits but NYA is not discouraged

What the Game Story doesn't tell you
A hard fought game where the Dodgers and Yankees traded leads. Once the Yanks took the lead in the 7th it was Rivera time for 2 innings. They were not easy with 3 hits allowed in the 3 innings. Mark made some great moves but NY just held on.
Cabrera came to the plate after going 4-4 with 2 runners on and 2 outs in the ninth. Rivera on the mound and the next batter behind was a L 9R so Rivera pitches to him and gets him to fly out WHEW!!!!!!
Game 4

Game Story
In the bottom of the 7th inning New York went on top for good as they scored 2 runs on 2 base hits. The highlight belonged to Carlos Ruiz who brought a roar from the partisan Petco Park fans when he doubled scoring two base runners. Los Angeles had a chance in the 9th but they came up short.
The victory was credited to Eric O'Flaherty(1-0) who went 1 inning, allowing no runs. O'Flaherty was helped out by Mariano Rivera who recorded his 5th save. Brandon Lyon(0-2) was given the loss in relief.
What the Game Story doesn't tell you
Where to start. Any runner that went for an extra base was thrown out, EXCEPT for a hit and run that missed and a 40% chance steal was safe. That was the difference. LA got to Rivera in the 9th and on a 1-17 chance the tying run was thrown out at the plate on an amazing play by CHOOCH, AKA Carlos Ruiz.
With a trip back to LA guaranteed NYA started feeling good but the veteran Dodgers were still not worried.

Game Story
The Los Angeles Dodgers came roaring back in the top of the ninth to spoil the anticipated celebration of the hometown fans. The final score, was 4 to2.
Los Angeles won the game with a rally in the 9th inning when they tallied 4 runs on 1 hit. The critical plate appearance was by Geovany Soto who silenced Petco Park as he quieted the crowd by clouting a Grand Slam. Los Angeles won despite being out-hit by New York 6 hits to 2.
The victory went to Neftali Feliz(1-0) who went 1 and 1/3 innings, allowing no runs. Dennys Reyes recorded his 1st save. Eric O'Flaherty(1-1) was tagged with the loss in relief.
What the story doesn't tell you
There was not a run till the 9th. Lincecum got pulled in a 1 hitter after 7 to try to get some offense. The only other hit the Dodgers got was a GRAND SLAM by Soto, against a Righty. NYA fought back to get 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th, but came up short. The Dodgers fly home needing only 1 win to celebrate in front of their adoring fans and go to the World Series

What the Game Story doesn't tell you
NYA had had NO homers in the first 5 games. Finally in the 7th inning of game 6 (after me realizing this had happened) Cano drives one deep to take the lead and Encarnacion hits one in the 8th to make the lead stick. It all comes down to 1 game for the right to go to the World Series

A couple errors and some great hits and LA opened up a 6 game lead and had a no hitter through 7. NYA doesn't give up and scores 3 in the 8th, However the Dodgers are too good and hold on to win the series. Second game in the series where a team has more runs than hits.
Well played, managed and fun.
