-
Defeat has been regular and excruciating in Philadelphia, a city which has long viewed success, not as a sign of victory, but as an ominous warning that disaster was just around the corner. 
|
-
The Phillies consider Carlos Ruiz’s hitting a bonus as long as he continues guiding their staff, which had the National League’s fourth-best earned run average, toward a World Series title. 
|
-
Ryan Howard, the hulking cleanup hitter who led the majors with 48 homers and 146 runs batted in, has not been the same guy for the Phillies in the postseason. 
|
-
No other reliever in baseball was as dominant this season as Brad Lidge. Put simply, the Phillies would not have advanced to the World Series without him. 
|
-
Manny Ramirez hit .520 in the postseason, but none of the Dodgers deputized to hit behind him in the lineup could muster much of anything against the Phillies’ Cole Hamels. 
|
-
The Phillies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series to advance to the World Series for the first time since 1993. 
|
-
Matt Stairs crunched a two-run homer deep into the right-field bleachers, breaking a tie in the eighth inning and powering the Phillies to a victory over Los Angeles. 
|
-
The Phillies lead the best-of-seven series, two games to none, and are halfway toward their first World Series appearance in 15 years. 
|
-
Two sixth-inning homers off Derek Lowe in Game 1 lifted Philadelphia to its first victory in the N.L.C.S. since 1993. 
|
-
Pat Burrell clobbered two home runs to lead the Phillies to a victory over the Milwaukee Brewers that clinched their first trip to the N.L. Championship since 1993. 
|
-
A year after scoring only six runs in a three-game sweep by Arizona, the Cubs produced the same meager output in another early exit. 
|
-
Manny Ramírez was dominant against the Chicago Cubs, with homers in the first two games of the division series to help the Dodgers grab two victories before Game 3. 
|
-
The story of the 2008 Mets is that the soft underbelly of the roster was painfully and repeatedly exposed during the season. 
|
-
It’s been 102 years since both of Chicago’s baseball teams have been in the postseason. And the notion of a Cubs-White Sox World series — however unlikely — has generated rare, bilateral optimism in the fall air. 
|
-
The dreadlocked free-spirt of the Dodgers’ Manny Ramirez is one side of baseball in Los Angeles and the clean-shaven, clean-cut Mark Teixeira of the Angels is the other.
