The Phils took game 1 of the NLCS last night in quite dramatic fashion. I was all pumped to watch every second of the game, and the first inning almost ruined my buzz. Fucking Manny was a foot short of going yard in his first at bat. Son of a bitch i thought, this is gonna be a long series. LA went up quickly 1-0 in that inning and we were off.
The phils struggled offensively for the first 5+ innings, hitting into about 11 ground outs, courtesy of Lowe's sinking pitches. But after Shane Victorino reached second on a throwing error by the recently returned Furcal, my boy Chase Motherfuckin Utley went yard to tie the game. Shortly thereafter Pat the Bat (featured above) hit a solo shot that would eventually win the game for them.
The Phillies make me nervous for one reason, they only do their scoring in one inning a game. They didnt leave alot of men on base this game, but they didnt geta lot on. So hopefully as the series goes on, they can get some baserunners on and do what they do best, steal bases even if the situation at hand doesnt call for it at all. Manny and Andre are pretty big threats on the Dodgers squad. But then again, they can both sit on it.
