One More Win
The Phillies are win more win from history.
Leading their best of seven National League Championship Series against the Dodgers 3 games to 1, the Phillies need one more win to reach the World Series for the first time since 1993 and only the fourth time since 1980.
The Phillies have won one championship in the history and have gone through major collapses (1964) and 10,000 regular season losses.
Cole Hamels, the team’s ace, will pitch tonight and he will be opposed by Chad Billingsley. Billingsley was rocked by the Phillies in his game two start of the series in Philadelphia.
If the Dodgers can force a game six it will be held in Philadelphia and would feature Brett Myers and Hiroki Kuroda.
If there is a game seven we would see Jamie Moyer and Derek Lowe.
The Phillies don’t want this series to go to a game six or game seven. It would be best for them to take the series on the road in Los Angeles. This Dodgers team has players that were on one or both of those Red Sox teams that made combacks in the playoffs.
Manny Ramirez was on both and Derek Lowe was on the 2004 teammate.
Game five begins at 8:22pm tonight.
