NLCS Game 3 - October 12, 2008Dodgers 7, Phillies 2
From the Phillies.com report of the game: Game 3 had a little bit of everything, including a benches-clearing incident, but in the end, the result didn't translate into a commanding NLCS lead for veteran left-handed starter Jamie Moyer and the Phillies, who couldn't overcome a Dodgers five-run first.
Charlie Manuel, discussing Moyer's struggles: "They hit some balls hard, and it also seemed like everything they hit went through for a hit. We got behind quick."
Shane Victorino: "Someone was bound to get hit on our team. We knocked down [Russell] Martin twice and threw behind [Manny Ramirez by] Brett [Myers on Friday]. The situation called for it. Just don't throw at my head. That's what I told Russell. I said, 'If you're going to hit me hit me, hit me anywhere else. That's all I ask. We'll leave it at that.'"
I would have loved to see those types of captions on the Topps cards of the 70s!
ReplyDeleteI was at this game in LA. Dodgers fans booed Victorino every time he appeared on the field after that. Plus 5 got tossed out of my section for throwing beer and peanuts at Phillies fans walking up and down the stairs. All I did was hold up 2 fingers. (Not what you think, for the 2-0 series lead)
