Tonight the Phils began the NLCS with the Dodgers at the bank. Cole Hamels got the crucial game 1 start and did not dissapoint allowing just 2 runs on 6 hits in 7 strong innings work. Meanwhile, the Phils started slow as usual with 0 runs in the first 5 innings as the always tough Derek Lowe mowed them down. So they would need to find that one big inning a little later in this one, if they were to pull it out. Now onto the game. In the top of the 1st, Manny Ramirez doubled in a run after coming within inches of a homer for a 1-0 Dodger lead. In the top of the 4th Blake Dewitt sac flyed in a run for a 2-0 lead. In the bottom of the 6th, the Phils finally got to Lowe as Chase Utley slammed a 2 run homer and "the Bat" Pat Burrell ripped a solo shot for a stunning and sudden 3-2 Phils lead. From there Ryan Madson turned away the Dodgers in the 8th and Brad Lidge closed them out in order in the 9th for the 3-2 game 1 victory. So the Phils lead the series 1-0 but there's still a long away to go before they can even think about winning it.

Thats exactly what I was hoping for. The ace pitches like he can and the offence, although not that great, still delivers
