YES!!! the Los Angeles Dodgers has finally won their division since 2004 when Steve Finley hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 9th against rivals San Francisco Giants. They Clinched a spot in the playoffs by division rivals Arizona Diamondbacks losing to the St. Louis Cardinals that afternoon. The Dodgers were watching the game in their lockers and congratulated each other after the Diamondbacks loss. But they would celebrate after their final game against the San Diego Padres. Yes, the Dodgers lost against the Padres that night but it didn't bother the boys in blue since they already clinched. After the game the Dodgers sprayed champagne, poured ice cold water, and beer on each other screaming with happiness. They also went to the fans at the field, which I thought was pretty cool of them to do. But that wasn't the only excitement of the day, Rafael Furcal was active that day and came up to bat for his first time since May. Even though he struck out, the crowd still cheered for him and gave him a standing ovation. I'm so excited for the playoffs! :) Click
