Phillies 6, Brewers 2 — With a Game 4 win in Milwaukee, the Phillies clinched a date with the Dodgers in the NLCS, the Phils’ first advance that far since their 1993 World Series appearance.  Pat Burrell homered twice for Philadelphia, while Joe Blanton shut down Ryan Braun & Co, allowing one run and striking out seven in six innings.  About that 1993 thing, don’t worry, Philadelphia.  Brad Lidge is nothing like Mitch Williams.  Mwahahahaha!

White Sox 5, Rays 3 — The Sox returned to the South Side and staved off elimination thanks to another clutch performance by John Danks.  Less than a week after he saved Chicago’s season with a 1-0 win over Minnesota for the AL Central title, Danks again notched a victory in a must-win game.  Pitching tonight for Chicago: someone who’s going to lose.

Angels 5, Red Sox 4 (12 innings) — Mike Napoli homered twice, then scored the go-ahead run in the 12th as the Angels kept their season alive and snapped their 11-game postseason losing streak to the Red Sox.  Jon Lester and John Lackey will encore their Game 1 duel tonight in Fenway, where the douchometers will be reading off the charts.

Saturday

Dodgers 3, Cubs 1 — EPIC FAIL
