The Phils and Brewers met for game 1 of their best of 5 NLDS series this afternoon at the Bank. Not surprisingly Cole Hamels got the start for the Phils and tossed an 8 inning gem, allowing o runs on 2 hits. Meanwhile, the Phils pushed across 3 early runs for a quick lead. So the bullpen would have to close it out as usual. Now onto the game. In the bottom of the 3rd, Chase Utley slapped a 2 out 2 run double, and the "Flyin Hawaiian" Shane Victorino walked with the bases loaded for a 3-0 lead. Finally, in the top of the 9th, Brad Lidge came in to close it out and made it exciting for a while. A Ryan Braun double and subsequent error cut the lead to 3-1. Then after Prince Fielder struck out for the 3rd time, J.J Hardy walked and moved up to second on a wild pitch to put runners on 2nd and 3rd for Corey Hart. Fortunately, Lidge struck him out as well to end the 3-1 Phils win. So the Phils go up 1-0 in the series and considering 24 of 28 division series have been won by the winner of game 1, they're in pretty good shape heading into game 2 tomorrow between Brett Myers and C.C Sabathia.

Well that certainly was a good way to start and now lets just hope Brett Myers brings his good stuff rather than the bad because they'll need it against Sabathia
