We actually get to applaud Andruw Jones for starting it all?!

[The Natural]

Wade gives up lazy bloop single.

1 on, Kennedy @ at the bat.

[The Natural]

Kennedy hits it to the warning track. Skip S. tags and takes second.

Pujols intentionally walked.

2 on, 1 out for Ludwick.

[keyTOarson]

I don't like the Dodgers odds here.

[Joe Hoya]

2 out.

[keyTOarson]

Blake momentarily saved the game.

[The Natural]

Ludwick scorches it to Blake. Blake plays the short hop beautifully.
Blake tags his base.

2 out. Glaus up.

Glaus homered in 9th last night.

JM puts me in a coma every Sunday night. Forgive me.

BTW, in case you didn't know ... The Phillies are lopsided on the offensive side. They need Jimmy Rollins to play like the MVP he was last season and they're going to need to score runs to be successful.



Glaus pops up. Manny gets it.

Top of 10th.

Pitchers' spot, Kemp, Ethier due up.

Yet the fact remains that Glaus homered in the 9th yesterday. Scared yet?

He grounds to Izturis. 1 out.
