Fight

The day after taking a beating from an air bag, my body fought back and is doing pretty well.

The Phillies came out swinging tonight, scoring two runs in the 1st inning; the Giants swung back with two in the 3rd.

In the bottom of that inning, the real skirmish occurred when Jonathan Sanchez hit Chase Utley in the middle of the back. That set up an instant-classic Chase Utley moment. He wound up with the ball and flipped it back to the pitcher. Words were exchanged, and both teams were soon on the field. No punches were thrown (it's Game 6 of the NLCS), but it was a pretty good baseball fight for a game with so much at stake (it's Game 6 of the NLCS).

I don't know how this game will end, but win or lose for the Phils, it's going to be an epic battle.

In the 6th, it's tied at 2.
