by Jeff FletcherFiled under: Dodgers, MLB Playoffs, National League Division SeriesLOS ANGELES -- Randy Wolf and Mike Lieberthal are pals, a pair of Southern California kids who formed a battery for years in Philaelphia, a partnership they took to the Dodgers in 2007.

Their Phillies teams finished second four of their last six years together, and in 2007 in Los Angeles, they managed to be there for the year in between playoff appearances. Wolf said the jinx was either him or his former catcher. This year, he found out who. "I'm not a big believer in that," Wolf said, "but luckily it went away."
