Cubs' General Manager Jim Hendry was very impressed with Manny Ramirez in the brief NLDS between Chicago and Los Angeles.

"What an amazing guy," Hendry said. "To me, Albert [Pujols] is the best player in the game. But this guy, with a bat in his hands, is very close."

Ramirez has a record 26 postseason home runs in his career and hit two in the Dodgers' series sweep of the Cubs.
