Despite taking a fastball off his right fore-finger, Shane Victorino will in fact be start the game. This is incredibly important, because if he had not been able to go, the Phillies would have been forced to use Matt Stairs, who has been in a slump as deep as a Mad Men...

Make no mistake, the real story this morning is how Chase Utley and Cliff Lee threw the hopes of a repeat World Series title on their backs and extended the series for at least one, hopefully two, games in New York. Chase Utley had two home runs and Lee lasted 7 innings...
