What a heck of a season. Per Ken Gurnick at MLB.com:
"Pretty fun season," said Chase Utley. "Now the real fun begins."
The Dodgers 104th win last night set a new Los Angeles record for wins in a season, and also equaled the second most wins by the franchise in their history (last accomplished in 1942). As for the final playoff roster Dave Roberts had this to say, via Rowan Kavner at Dodger Insider:
“There’s going to be some fun debates over the next couple days,” Roberts said.

This is the first time this has happened in the hiostory of the game. In 2004 Steve Finley hit a ninth inning walk-off grand slam against the Giants at Dodger Stadium that clinched the NL West title for the Dodgers.
