The Dodgers will host the Phillies, starting Thursday at Dodger Stadium, in the league championship series. The Phillies eliminated Colorado tonight in Denver, setting up a replay of last year's series, when the guys from Philadelphia beat the Dodgers. In the other league, the Angels travel to New York to open Friday against the Yankees. That's two pretty good series for baseball fans.
