It seems like we just can’t get away from Daniel Murphy in the postseason. He’s become the Dodger’s October Chupacabra, and now he’s back to potentially haunt the Dodgers again. The only red headed Irish man I want to see hitting bombs is Justin Turner. Last season veteran infielder Daniel Murphy

The NLDS between the Dodgers and the Nationals is scheduled to start on Friday evening and the Dodgers will be without one of their best relievers.
