Notes on NLDS Game 3

Hitting
If it weren't for Cliff Lee, I wouldn't bother summarizing the other sections, because the Phils' hit the Dodgers like Chris Brown hit Rihanna. Everyone hit (including Clifford) with the exception of Rauuul who scored a run anyway. Shane, Werth crushed HRs and Ryan Howard hit a triple. Everyone mocks the Phillies for having a small ballpark, but if Ryan Howard hit a triple on an errorless play with no bad bounces then I guess it's not that small after all (I find myself saying more and more often recently). Also of note, the Big Man is now in the record books as being the first player to have an RBI in 7 consecutive playoff games in the same year. Mazol tov.

Fielding
Nothing to report here. Lee allowed only 3 hits and no BBs turning the basepaths a ghost town.

Pitching
Another dominating performance by a Phillies starter. Lee's control and variability were pretty much as good as they get.

Relieving
Chad Durbin wiped up the Dodgers with a 1-2-3 9th inning to seal an embarrassing loss for LA.

Conclusion
What was it? Philly fans? Cold weather? Something juiced the Phils' system--and not in the same way as Manny Ramirez--to power them to a brutalizing victory over the Dodgers. Let's hope they break out the bats again on Monday night.
