Dodgers season is done

Dodgers lost to the Gigantes last night, 4 - 3, so their season is done.
Cardinals slip into the Wild Card uncontested.
Dodgers, down 4 - 1, had a good chance in the 7th inning when A.J. Ellis homered with Ethier on base to make it 4 - 3. Then Mark Ellis slapped a double into left-center field.... But in a Little League-like burst of enthusiasm he tried to stretch it into a triple, and was thrown out at third. He should have stayed at second, because the very next batter, Shane Victorino, hit a real triple. If Ellis had stayed at second he would have scored and tied the game.
But that's baseball.
I'll watch the postseason games without much interest.... I love the game, but I hate the Gigantes and the Yanquis, and I have little affinity for the Bravos, the Rancheros, the Orioles and the Rojos, the Nacionales y los Athleticos.
I think I'll just sit back and watch. Too bad Vin won't be calling the games.
