Things we learned from game 1:
- Philly is really good at hitting it really far. Chase Utley and Pat Burrell both hits soul crushing blasts
- Win or lose for the Dodgers, this will be a great series to watch
- Manny Ramirez is still raking. In the first, he hit an RBI double that just missed being a two run homer. He finished 2-4.
- Cole Hamels has the ability to win games on his own. He pitched 7 innings, struck out 8, allowed only 6 hits and 2 runs.
- Derek Lowe is still pitching fantastically. Before giving up the two home runs, only one ball was hit out of the infield.
- The teams are as evenly matched as we expected
- The Phillies bullpen is as good as advertised. The Dodgers failed to make a real run at a comeback, thanks to the fantastic pitching of Ryan Madsen and Brad Lidge
- Last but not least, So Taguchi should never be asked to bunt
Game 2 is today at 4:30 and can be seen on FOX and heard on ESPN radio.
