But this one was just pathetic --- not the Dodgers of this historic streak.
Here's the headline at the Los Angles Times, "No magic for a day: Phillies end Dodgers' 10-game winning streak."
It was one away in the bottom of the 9th with bases loaded for the Phillies. Don Mattingly went out to the mound to get the infield on the same page (a double play would end the inning.) The Phillies pinch-hit Michael Young, who slapped a rolling ground ball to Hanley Ramirez at short, who then bobbled the play allowing Philadelphia score the winning run. It looked like a routine ground ball to me. And Ramirez didn't come off looking too well at all, since that was his second error of the inning.
Well Hanley Ramirez is dead to me

Onward and upward, as they say.
