Game 1 of the NLCS. Phillies - Dodgers

The Phillies take Game 1 of the NLCS over the Dodgers 8-6. Cole Hamels didn't have his best stuff tonight and the way he acted when Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins couldn't come up with the double play ball was just uncalled for. As a picher you don't show up your teammates like that they teach you this in high school cause remember these guys have saved you a few times this season. So don't be upset if they don't make a play because than you make bigger mistake like when he gave up a 3 run homerun to Manny Ramirez and Phillies at the point only had a 1 run lead when they had 4 run lead. But his teammates still had his back like when Carlos Ruiz hit a 3 run homerun and put the Phillies up 3-1. Than Ryan Howard came up big again hitting... a 2 run double and made it a 5-1 game. Also Raul Ibanez hits a 2 run homerun and put the Phils up 8-4.

Brad "Lights Outs" Ligde got the job done for his 3rd postseason save and can we all say if your a Phillies fan that our closer that was so great last year is back? Only he lives to tell the tail. Tomorrow at 4:07 it will be Game 2 of the NLCS as the Phillies will give the nod to the right hander Pedro Martinez who this try to shut down the Dodger bats and take 2-0 series lead. As the Dodgers give the start to a former Philadelphia Phillie Vicente Padilla to try to tie this series up and head back to Philly. Who would have thought 5 months ago that we would have seen both these pitchers pitching in the NLCS where Martinez didn't even have a job and Padilla who wasn't even that good with the Taxes Rangers are now the talk about Game 2 of the NLCS. So if your a Phillies fan, a Dodgers fan, or just a baseball fan dont miss Game 2 of the NLCS only on TBS.
