Yes it was their scapegoat. And Phil Rogers, and Rob Neyer, and Buster Olney, and Jayson Stark, and Paul Sullivan, and most people at baseball prospectus, and most people on Baseball Tonight, and most people at Baseball America, and virtually every sportswriter that wrote about the series.
It might be a copout, but it isn't one they pulled out of their ass. EVERYBODY said the same thing, virtually to a man. They might all be wrong, but Lou and Hendry were hardly in the minority when put forth the idea that maybe the Dodgers should have to at least warm up a lefty next time we fact them in the post season.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
