With a 3-1 lead in the National League Championship Series, the Phillies will send Cole Hamels against the Dodgers' Chad Billingsley in Game 5, scheduled for Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium.
Back before all the chaos, the late-inning dramatics and the game-changing plays, the Dodgers seemed to have an awfully good chance to win this thing. And they certainly needed it, entering Game 4 of the NLCS with a chance to square the series up.
Joe Torre didn't go down without his best. He used all three of his top bullpenners in the fateful eighth. It's just that every one of them -- Hong-Chih Kuo, Cory Wade and Jonathan Broxton -- stumbled to one degree or another. A 5-3 lead turned into the final 7-5 margin of defeat within the space of six batters.
Miffed at the condition of the baseballs and at his own performance in the first inning on Monday, Derek Lowe had a meltdown upon returning to the Dodgers dugout, attacking a water cooler and ripping off his jersey.
Chad Billingsley, the blossoming ace who went 12-3 the last 3 1/2 months of the season and yielded just one run on five hits in 6 2/3 innings in an NLDS start, looked nothing like himself in a disastrous Game 2 NLCS outing. The Dodgers hope he'll return to form and help them stave off elimination.
The Louisville Sluggers spoke volumes on Monday night in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. They spoke on behalf of a resilient, tough-minded Philadelphia team that moved within one victory of the World Series with a 7-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
As the playoffs approach the time of year when magical things routinely happen, the Phillies-Dodgers NLCS and Rays-Red Sox ALCS recall amazing moments of years past.
One of the most fascinating and memorable playoff games in recent years kept the managers as busy as the players on Monday night. Joe Torre and Charlie Manuel had one tactical decision after another on their plates, whether it was about relievers, pinch-hitters, intentional walks or whether to bring in the infield.
A back-and-forth affair saw the Dodgers wrest the lead in the fifth and sixth innings only to see the Phillies storm back.
