I really can't believe they won. Like, legit. I thought this would be a laugher with the way Batista was getting lit up early. Baseball is so funny.

I don't care what happens tomorrow, win/loss wise. This was an excellent series win.

Another hard fought victory. This team just doesn't quit.

Beltran just hit a Grand Slam, his 2nd HR of the night. 10 on the year now for him. Good to see.

I remember a few years ago on this board a debate regarding the word 'grit', or 'gritty'

This team has got grit

Not much to say. Just 2 spectacular, totally unexpected wins against the team we love to hate in a row.

Enjoyable watch.

Batista starts again, per TC.

Pretty sure Manny Acosta, not Miguel Batista, earned him that right. Those 2 inherited runs score, Philly goes on to an easy win, likely a different story. And Batista would have done nothing different.

Oh well, just gotta make sure we're ready to come back from another 4 run immediate deficit and score 7 in 5 days.
