Well, it's going to be interesting.
If you're the Phillies, I think you pinch-hit with Dobbs to lead off (in place of Hamels) and hope he gets on to give the top of your line up something to play with. Against Price, it won't be easy.
I believe the Phillies' hope lies in nickel-and-diming 1 run in the bottom of the 6th, and trusting that Romero-Madson-Lidge don't concede the tying run.
The Rays' best hope lies in keeping the score at 2-2 long enough to force Chad Durbin or Scott Eyre to pitch to the heart of their line-up. If Upton, Longo and Pena face either of those two frumpy white boys, I don't think they're going to miss their shot.
If the Phillies can sneak a run and go Romero-Madson-Lidge, then the Phillies are World Champions.
If the game goes into the top of the 11th or 12th at 2-2 with Eyre on the mound, then we're all going back to Tampa Bay. (I think this scenario is more likely)
