World Series: Game 2

Obviously, it was an ugly loss in Game 2.  Between the abysmal situational hitting, the fielding miscues, a base-running blunder, and the two horrendous calls by home-plate umpire Kerwin Danley, the Phillies took a game that should have been a solid opportunity for a win, and turned it into a momentum-shifting mess.  All in all though, the Phils got the split they needed in Tampa and now it’s a 5-game series and they have home-field advantage.  There were encouraging signs last night.  For one, Brett Myers pitched very well.  He gave up four runs and lost, but there wasn’t one ball hit really hard off of him, and if it weren’t for the previously mentioned mistakes by Jayson Werth in right-field and by Danley, he may have given up one or two runs instead of four.  Also, Ryan Howard had a couple hits and really tagged the double into deep center in the second.

It looks like Game 3 tomorrow night could be rained out.  The Phillies website says that the travel day between Games 5 and 6 would be eliminated, so the pitching rotations would probably not be affected.
