L.A. Looks To NLCS

Published: October 6, 2008
LOS ANGELES - It's a century and counting for the Cubs.
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers shoved Chicago into another long winter Saturday night, completing a three-game sweep of their first-round playoff series with a 3-1 victory.
The Cubs' latest flameout has to be among the most galling, considering they fell flat against the Dodgers after their best regular season since 1945 - the last time they made the World Series.
The Dodgers dominated this series, outscoring Chicago 20-6 thanks in part to a lot of help from the bumbling Cubs.
"Let me tell you this: You can play postseason baseball from now to another hundred years, but if you score six runs in three games, it's going to be another hundred years before we win," Manager Lou Piniella said. "We just didn't hit. We had opportunities, and you have to take advantage of them."
James Loney hit a two-out, two-run double in the first , and Hiroki Kuroda worked 61/3 brilliant innings in his first postseason start.
