*Why does Fox love the Dodgers more than the Phillies? Will baseball cease to exist if the Phillies and the Rays are in the World Series, ruining the Manny/Torre/Garciaparra vs. Boston battle that the television networks want? As a result, I'm putting the over/under on nice things said about the Phillies at 4.

*Joe Buck is the worst announcer I have ever heard, and there will be no further discussion about that.

*Jimmy Rollins will break out of his slump tonight, but sadly Ryan Howard will continue to struggle.

*Greg Dobbs starting at third base will be great for the Phillies' offense. He is a much better hitter than Pedro Feliz.

Prediction: Phillies win 5-3
