Today, is the last game in the four game series in San Fransisco. The Phillies have taken the first 3 games. The first game was superbly pitched game by Cliff Lee. He was brilliant. He threw a 3-0 complete game shut-out. The Phillies offense has been hot since acquiring Hunter Pence before the trade deadline from Houston. The second game was another great performance by Vance Worley. He's been terrific in his rookie season. Again, the Phillies offense was hot. In the 6th inning, the Phillies were up 8-2. Giants reliever, Ramon Ramirez drilled Phillies centerfielder, Shane Victorino, in the back. Shane took a step towards the mound, Ramirez took a step toward the plate and chaos ensued. Giants catcher, Eli Whiteside, bounced around like he was itching for a fight and tried to tackle Placido Polanco. Benches and bullpens clear and it was a few minutes before things calmed down. Tensions ran high on both sides. Ramirez, Whiteside, and Victorino were ejected and suspensions are expected. The Phillies went on to win the game 9-2. The third game was a complete game pitched by Cole Hamel, who helped the Phillies win 2-1. The fourth game will be played later today. Roy Oswalt will pitch for the Phillies in his first start since going on the DL in June. He will face my favorite Giant, Tim Lincecum. I look forward to watching a great game and don't expect a lot of scoring. Both pitchers are terrific. Can't wait for game time.
