2013' NLCS, MLB

Michael Wacha's, Cardinals Blank Dodgers For 2-0 NLCS Lead

 The Dodgers' scoreless streak in the NLCS reached 19 innings. This is after they averaged 6½ runs in a 4-game division series against the Braves.

A day after A game ending in A Score of 3-2 in 13 innings, The Cardinals move 2 wins away from the World Series. Game 3 is Monday @ Dodger Stadium & the Cardinals Ace Adam Wainwright is facing Rookie Hyun-Jin Ryu. The Dodgers have already used their top 2 Starters with No Success.

Only twice has a team won the N.L.C.S. after losing the 1st 2 games. The San Diego Padres in 84' against the Chicago Cubs, & the Cardinals in 85' against the Dodgers.

Rookie outfielder Yasiel Puig suffers A Painful start in the NLCS  going 0-for-10 with 6 strikeouts in the 1st 2 games against the Cardinals. In game 2 he went 0-for-4 with 4 strikeouts & not looking good after batting A .471 over 17 @-bats in the Division Series against the Braves.

He doesn’t look bad when you understand it's his 1st postseason. He has A .296 batting average over 27 @-bats in the playoffs, Close to the .319 average he Batted in the regular season. Also 27 @-bats is not enough to draw any conclusions. But the incredible hype around Puig makes it A little disappointing to watch him struggle on the biggest stage he has been in. It seems like he’s not happy about it, either.

I STILL HAVE THE DODGERS WINNING THE WORLD SERIES SO CHEER UP YASIEL.
