Could someone please tell me why in the hell this game is scheduled to start at 4:35pm EST? Is MLB's goal to try and get as few people to watch this series as possible, or something? Sure, it isn't quite the same as Rays/Sox, but I mean it should still be a pretty good series.
Anyway, the Phillies got a hard fought victory last night to go up 1-0 and will look to build on that this afternoon.
As for the offenses, Pat Burrell is absolutely on fire right now. After going hitless in the first three games of this postseason, Burrell is 5-for-7 in his last two games with three home runs and five RBI. Plus he hit the game deciding home run last night.
On the flip side, Manny just keeps being Manny, smoking the ball all over the place.
Right now, 53% of FanIQ is going with the Dodgers for some reason. Did everyone miss last night's game or something? Philly is good. Plus you know the Phillies are playing at home, too, right?
Anyhow, feel free to chat it up here or on the game page.
