Easy peasy LEEsy
As Dire Straits once sang, "That's the way you do it."
If you don't want to worry about the back end of your bullpen blowing up — and Uncle Charlie helping it blow up — then the best thing to do is jump all over the rusty opposing starter, and have Cliff Lee throw eight fairly effortless shutout innings. Done and done, and the Phils lead 2-1.
Not much to say about this one, except the Phillies were pretty awesome in an 11-0 win. Aside from Lee's dominant, 10-strikeout performance, the batters were hitting and driving in runs up and down the lineup, with the lone exception of Raul Ibanez. Even Lee got himself a single.
If the series gets back to Dodger Hideki Kuroda's spot in the rotation, you'd have to believe L.A. might go with Chad Billingsley instead, as he was solid in relief, and Kuroda got lit up. But that's Joe Torre's problem.
Joe Blanton against Randy Wolf tomorrow.
