There was nothing normal about this particular World Series win for Philadelphia. For starters, Tim McCarver actually called the five-man infield for the Rays in the ninth inning, so you know things were straight up weird. It was a game that ended at 1:47 am EST on Sunday morning and saw the first Series win in the city of Philly since 1993. Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Carlos Ruiz provided solo shots and Jamie Moyer provided an inexplicable six-and-a-third innings of one-run ball after playing the role of punching bag for most of the NLCS.
The game ended as late as it did because weather created more problems than we thought, and the first pitch didn't get thrown until after 9 pm EST.
Eric Bruntlett and his sickening beard provided the game winning run, sliding in under Evan Longoria's underhand grab/throw on a dribbler to the left side of the infield. It was eerily reminiscent of Jamie Moyer's earlier play on a Carl Crawford bunt single, in which a 47-year-old man made a grab and flick with his glove that should have forced Crawford out regardless of the bad call.
Matt Garza was good, but not great, and it was a night when youth got served by the elderly Moyer and the Philly bats really got going. But more importantly, it was a Philly win that didn't involve Cole Hamels on the mound -- we all know that the Phillies are good, but it seemed like a distinct possibility that the Phils might need Cole to pitch three times. That could still happen, but a win tonight at least means there will be options.
