Now the clubs will meet in October for the sixth time in their history and the first time since 2009. In the best-of-five 1977 NLCS, the Phillies charged out of the gate with a Game 1 win, the club's first playoff win since 1915. This time it was the Phils getting the better of things, with Gary "Sarge" Matthews leading the charge in a 3-1 Phillies series victory. The 2008 result has been the only time thus far where the winner of a Phillies-Dodgers playoff series has actually gone on to win that year's championship. For both the Phillies and Dodgers, this is shaping up to be the stuff that October dreams are made of.
