This is great news. That means next year he'll decide he's a home run hitter, and his career will trend downwarnd until he's eventually traded to the Mets for Luis Castillo.

And is taking a beating for it in the LA papers.

Dodgers down 3 - 0 and Tore pulls his starter in the 3rd , enough of that though , get this.

When Vivtorino came up for his first AB it was the cue for Ken Rosenthal to tell us how the Phillies police themselves , after Victorino hit the grand-slam off CC in the ALDS he ran the bases arm pumping with glee and after the game the other players stuck pictures of him doing that on his locker with J Reyes written on them. The point was not to show up the other team like Reyes does.

Dodgers, with the exception of Manny, couldn't be playing a worse series.
Errors, critcal GiDPs, bad pitching, questionable managing, ...

...and the Phillies win the pennant!

Great news. This means there's a chance Shane Victorino will get thrown at some more.

And then they all lined up behind Matt Stairs to get their asses hammered.

And now they, and by extension us, get to sit around for an entire week waiting for the WS.

It would be nice to have a week to enjoy being the NL Champs and to eagerly anticipate the Series. Instead, we look for Arizona Fall League stats and read the transcript of a tepid interview with Minaya.
