2 Down

Phils take game two and are just two wins from WS


Who'd have thunk it? Two games down and two wins against an LA team that was hotter than the equator.

The Phils are just two wins away from the World Series after an offensive onslaught in game two.

So much for my 2-1 prediction in game two. Billingsley got lit up to the tune of 7 earned in 2 1/2 innings pitched and looked like Kyle Kendrick out there with just a few more strikeouts. I don't think Kyle Kendrick could strike out five batters in two starts.

Brett Myers went 3 for 3 and helped his cause despite not pitching a great game and had 3 RBI. And, get this-Ryan Howard has three hits in the playoffs while Myers has four.

Tonight Jamie Moyer will go up against Hideki Kuroda at 8:22. I don't feel a Phillies sweep in this series; it's just too tough to achieve that especially when you consider the fact they're traveling across the country.

Then again, I didn't even think the Phillies would make the playoffs a month ago.
