| he gets all the blame should the Dodgers lose this series. His trademark in New York was that he was always cool as a cucumber. On Monday, he seemed to panic. By the way, if Dodgers fans need any encouragement, look no further than last year's Boston Red Sox, who rallied back from a 3-1 deficit to the Cleveland Indians in last year's ALCS on their way to a World Series championship.
