game time

The Phillies walking off the field after batting practice on September 27.

Game 1 of the NLCS starts tonight at 8:22 at Citizens Bank Park. Yesterday I heard a TV commentator say breathlessly that the Dodgers were hot and had gone 17-8 in September. Uh, so did the Phillies. Whatever. For some informative stats on the hometeam, see David Cohen's yesterday on www.thegoodphight.com. Cohen points out, among many other things, that both Dodgers and Phillies went 17-8 but the Phillies finished the month 13-3 while the Dodgers went 9-7. As for who will win the series, I'll take it one at a time. Let's go, Charlie! Let's go, Phillies!
