Holy crap! That was a close one.

Finally the bats come alive, but where oh where is Ryan Howard at. The big guy has a day off to figure something out.

Chase Utley was determined to win this game if he had to do it all himself.

Good pitching by Lee. Yes, he's human, but he got the job done.

The bullpen is terrible. I think Lee should have been done after 7. It's sad they can't trust the pen with 2 innings and a 6 run lead.

Hat's off to the Yankees for making a run late. They are hitting the crap out of the ball and that's not good for the Phillies.

On to game six...

I would like to have seen A-Rod get an AB in the 9th tonight. Who would Charlie put in to pitch?

Back to NY!

I was surprised Manuel put Madson in the ninth....not that I disagreed with it, but he has incessantly gone back to Lidge over and over and over again. (sentence courtesy from the Department of Redundancy Department)

I have to give him credit, he didn't make the same mistake Fregosi made in '93 with Mitch Williams. Roger Mason pitched so well that series that people thought Fregosi should have made him the closer, me being one of them. Not that Madson is pitching that well (his velocity is way down) but Lidge's confidence is shot. Hopefully, given the opportunity, Manuel will stick to his guns and go to Madson, or someone else.
