games, four is the magic number.  The odds are long.  They can't afford a single loss.  Never surrender.  Matt Kemp is back in control.  Win out.  Just win baby! When it comes to the Cards, hope is all we have. When it comes to the Dodgers, it's about converting hope into action, i.e., playing hard, playing confident, and taking the attitude that they will "never surrender". And if they acquit themselves well in these remaining four games, and perhaps end the regular season on a six game winning streak, then as far as I'm concerned, no matter what the outcome, they will end the season on a positive note, which they will then use to carry them into the playoffs, or, if the Cards win, will carry them into next season. In 1962 the Dodgers led the giants by 3 with 3 left to play. The Dodgers (try as they did) couldn't win one at home and the giants won all three. Did they chock or just get cold? Brooklyn led by 13 1/2 in mid August 1951 and couldn't hold on. They had a world of talent on that team...Did they choke or was it just Baseball? It could be that we are getting hot at just the right time and it may not matter how bad the Cards want to win if the Baseball Gods have another plan.....or not! Thats the fun of it. And no matter the outcome I am glad they are making it exciting. If
