...in order to win the pennant now, the Dodgers are going to have to win Philadelphia..................something to which they haven't yet this season


They were gonna have to win at least one in Philly to begin with though.

Of course. tongue


I have DVR, but I can't watch games on recording. I don't have the mental discipline not to check the score.


I've got that discipline.

It should be interesting on how Beckett pitches. Long rest comming of injury. He has been a pretty big game pitcher in the playoffs so he will be comming out gunning.

Hopefully, the Phils take a 3-0 lead and end this series in LA.

The Good: The 5-run 1st inning for the Dodgers (the highlight: DeWitt's bases clearing triple with 2 outs), Furcal leading off the 2nd inning with a solo home run, Nomarrrrrrrrrrr going 2-3 with an RBI, Kuroda's excellent start (6 innings, 5 hits, 2 ER, 3 K's-and getting retaliation in the 3rd inning (for Martin getting hit in the first inning, and thrown at close in the 2nd-and for the Brett Myers pitch that went over Manny in game 2) by throwing at Victorino (although he probably shouldn't anywhere near the head), the pen (Wade & Broxton) holding the fort down (2 innings, 2 hits, 0 ER), the Dodgers getting their first win of this NLCS.





The Bad: 7 men left on base.







The Uggla: Hearing on the podcast of Friday's PTI this morning that Andruw Jones says he wants to be the everyday center fielder next season ( plain ).

I'm sure Jones was kidding. Unless maybe he was going to play in the minors...

and people talk about Philly fans. here's these LA fans booing Victorino. for what? getting out of the way of the ball that was purposely thrown at his head?
i don't think that will be the last time we see these benches clear....

Oh my God, this game just about gave me a heart attack. I even had to shut the game off in the bottom of the 6th inning to calm myself down. I was able to turn the TV back on in time to watch the resilient Phils explode in the 8th inning. What a win, as the Phils take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series. I am really liking their chances with Hamels pitching game 5 and, if needed (and hopefully it won't), Myers in game 6. Go Fightin' Phils!!!

Why Kuo wasn't left in the 8th, or Broxton (or Maddux) being brought in instead of Wade I don't understand. I wasn't suprised when Victorino hit his 2-run homer (he's been a hot hitter this whole postseason), but Matt Stairs?! MATT STAIRS??!! frustrated Needless to say, I don't feel so great about the rest of this series, and I hope the Dodgers can at least win on Wednesday to avoid having the Phillies win the pennant here in La La Land.
