Hamels put together another strong outing, going 7 innings, surrendering 5 hits, 1 run, and 3 walks while striking out 5.

 

Brad "Lights Out" Lidge trotted out from the bullpen once again in the ninth, to button down the NL Pennant for the Phitin' Phils.

 

Manny Ramirez just angrily stared out at the mound, watching Brad Lidge slowly do his work.

 

James Loney: single to center.

 

Casey Blake: fly out to center.

 

Matt Kemp: fly ball to the wall in dead center...caught.

 

Nomar: pop up, foul territory, Ruiz under it...caught.

 

On a night where Dodger Stadium possessed the electricity of a playoff crowd, the Phillies once again clinched a series, on the road, and won with convincing satisfaction.

 

Once again one city will rally behind its team. Once again, they are underdogs headed into the main event.

 

This time, there is no "Wild Thing" controlling our fate.
