Sharp on mound and at the plate, Blanton puts Phillies up 3-1
I don't know about you, but I'd call that a slugfest, even if Tampa Bay didn't join the party. So the only thing left to do is for Cole Hamels to go out and clinch this thing at home. The Phillies will have their World Championship and I will have pulled off one hell of a trifecta, prediction-wise.
But first we wait, which won't be easy. In fact, I'm sure the only reason I'll be able to fall asleep tonight is because I'm still so tired from staying up for Game Three. And speaking of exhaustion, as much as I would love to spend some time nitpicking Buck McCarver and the Fox Traveling Circus, I'm not going to do that. I'm going to bed. Monday is shaping up to be a pretty big day.
But before I do, I thought you might appreciate some haikus inspired by tonight's game. Enjoy:
---
He of dirty hat
Whether with one arm or two
Blanton is the man
---
Dearest Jimmy-legs
Crack crack crack and run run run
When you score we win
---
One, two, three runs home
When Ryan swings mighty bat
Oh! Oppo poppo
---
Huh? No hits, two runs
Worry not for Utley, still
Quite a strange boxscore
---
Big blow by Jayson
So welcome to the party
Could you stay a while?
---
Ryan in the eighth
Still holding mighty bat - oops!
He did it again
---
Say it ain't so Pat
Will he stay, will he go, or
Will he get a hit?
---
Steely-eyed is he
Our Hamels will take the ball
One more win to go
---
