Random Thoughts on Game 3:
The Phillies treated a national audience to what Delaware Valley fans have been suffering through all season - excrutiating ineptitude at the plate with men on base. This is usually followed by Charlie Manuel saying "we're better than this".
Jason Werth was credited with a triple in the 6th inning when right-fielder Corey Hart caught his drive, then hit the fence and the ball eventually fell out his glove. Hart seemed to hold the ball for an eternity; in the NFL it certainly would have been a reception. This is a rare situation in baseball and the rule should probably be revisited.
A priority for the Phillies next season should be acquiring a left-handed hitting catcher. Two weak-hitting catchers are bad enough, but when they're both right-handed swingers, a manager's options are drastically limited.
