This was a game that really had three parts to ...

Like I said last week, if Chase Utley doesnÆt beat you, then Ryan Howard will. If Howard doesnÆt beat you, then Raul Ibanez will. And if none of those guys beat you, Jayson Werth will. Last night, Werth smacked two HRs and drove in four runs as the Philadelphia Phillies destroyed the Los Angeles Dodgers, 10-4, to advance to their second straight World Series. At some point I am going to realize ...

If you are going to be uptight, nervous, and over-manage in the postseason, you better win. Time and time again, New York Yankees manager has overmanaged in this postseason and the YankeesÆ talent has bailed him out. Today, there was nobody to bail Girardi out.
