NLCS Game 1: "Oswalt has Cards come up Ehmke handed"

GAME 1 - Citizens Bank BP
Morris vs Oswalt
Phillies 6, Cardinals 2


Manager Andy Weinrib's decimated pitching staff was torn to shreds in the LDS, so the Phightin's skipper was forced to go to fourth starter Roy Oswalt, who rewarded his skipper with a near complete game result.  Manager Weinrib hoped Oswalt would be his version of Howard Ehmke and he was not disappointed in one bit.  The Philly bats came alive to chase Cardinal starter Matt Morris after 4 and a third.  Chooch, Utley and Howard all had 2 hit games with Chase Utley knocking in 2 of the 6 with a homer.  In all 4 Phils would go yard.  Ryan Madson came on in the 9th with one out to get the final 2 to seal the victory.  Jim Edmonds went deep for the Cards in a losing effort.
Phillies lead series 1-0
