Brett Myers led the charge in game two for the Phillies but once again he did it in a extraordinary way, with his bat! Myers had three hits in the game and cleared a bases loaded spot with a double down the right field line in one at bat. Shane Victorino also had a big day for the Phillies. Brad Lidge and his bullpen mates Chad Durbin, Ryan Madson and J.C. Romero pitched scoreless relief behind Myers to earn holds and a save. Off to tinseltown hopefully to close this series out!
Chatter
Condolences to skipper Charlie Manuel who found out before the game that his mother had passed away, Manuel managed the game despite the heavy heart. Shane Victorino also found out some bad news after the game as he was told his grandfather had passed away back in Hawaii. Am in Shanghai for the week so apologize for the brevity, only able to rehash what I read for the rest of the series.
Game three is Sunday, the “older ace” Jamie Moyer takes the hill for the Fightins trying to earn win # three of the best of seven series.

Don’t worry Southpaw you will be back in time for the Phils in the World Series. I hope I don’t jinx them but I’m feeling confident.
I think the Sox Rays series could go either way.
In my opinion I think we would have a better chance against the Rays.
Say hi to Hu Jintao.
