Brandon Phillips already had a pair of homers when he came to the plate with the go-ahead run on second in the ninth inning. The cleanup hitter had no problem sacrificing.
After losing the previous two games by a combined score of 32-2, Phillips and the Cincinnati Reds were willing to do whatever it takes to win.

It is KILLING me how bad the NL East is. Look at this-

Wins/losses in the NL East
1st place- Phillies- 43/38
2nd place- Marlins- 43/42

Wins/losses in the AL East
1st place- Red Sox- 50/33
2nd place- Yankees- 49/34

The Yankees would be in 1st place by like 5 games if they were in the NL East. I'm only comparing these two because they are both on the east coast. Imagine if the New York teams switched and the Mets were in the AL East. With their current record they would be in second to last place just ahead of the Orioles by about 2 games.

I could go into how the Yankees could be 1st place and beyond in any other division and how the AL East is the toughest in baseball, but I suppose that is a different rant for a different thread.

Like yeah, go rant in the Yankee thread.
No one wants to hear any crying from the Yanks' fans here.
