Fun to watch---after watching the Yankee lineup all year, I look at these playoff lineups every nite and just say---damn

But make no mistake, if you can hit they will find a place for you and if you pitch and hit, you can overcome the occasional deficiency on defense in my opinion.

So far so good for Philly. But did you watch game 1 against the snakes? That was a game Philly dominated from the first pitch. Their 5-0 lead should have been 10-0, but they let the snakes hang around. When Dominquez botched that easy DP ball and threw it into CF, Arizona was right where they never should have been: batting with a chance to tie or take the lead. It didn't work out for Arizona in game 1, but Houston or Texas have line ups that are much more capable of making opponenets pay when given 4-5 outs per inning.
