Holliday Gives Parting Gift To Dodgers
Blak4rest: Sports, Media and Vegas —
... day with this one. For starters, did the "Genius" consider letting Adam Wainwright, who gave up only three hits and who the Dodgers couldn't lay a bat on (with the exception of Andre Ethier's solo homer), finish what he started? Granted, LaRussa got what he wanted with the first two outs, but after Holliday's error, closer Ryan Franklin, who struggled late in the season, had his nuts in his mouth and couldn't swallow.

... The one person who is probably happy? Luis Castillo who's dropped pop-up against the Yankees pales in comparison and significance. Adam Wainwright (who pitched brilliantly in a wasted effort) said it was the towels, but Matt Holliday said it was the light. I guess that's manning up, but it's still a loss.
