So, we've made it to Miller Park, the retractable-roofed home of the Brewers. I've been coming to games here since I began covering the Phillies in 2006, and it has always reminded me of an airplane hangar. Milwaukee is home to the Harley-Davidson Museum, The Fonz and both Laverne and Shirley. There's plenty of beers, sausage and bratwurst to go around, and I'm hoping to sample some of everything before heading home.
The Phillies' clubhouse here opens in about 15 minutes, so please check back throughout the day, as I'll be posting updates. We'll hear from Charlie Manuel, Game 3 starter Jamie Moyer, Geoff Jenkins and others.
For now, though, I'll post some links to stories in The Paper, and I'll ask you this question: What about the first two games has stood out for you?
-Game story: Shane Victorino said he wasn't afraid of CC Sabathia, and then, he proved it.
-Martin Frank writes about how the Phillies attacked Sabathia.
-Sure, Brett Myers pitched well, but how about his first two at-bats last night?
-Within the notebook, Jayson Werth found a cure for his slump, Brad Lidge said he isn't tipping his pitches, and Cole Hamels won't pitch until Game 5, if necessary.
-Martin Frank has a look at the biggest whiffers in the Phillies and Brewers offenses.
-Charlie Manuel's moves, every single one of them, worked like a charm.
More in a bit.

Hamels' dominance in Game 1 was big, but Myers' 1st AB last night was huge. If he had gone down easily, like a pitcher is expected to do, we don't even get an opportunity for the Rollins walk or Victorino GS. Once those 4 runs came in the Brewers were pretty deflated. Taking that 2nd game put us in a great spot, and Myers' all around play is a big part of that...
Scott,
You still need to give Angleo C. his due. He told you C C would be gone by the 6th inning, and he was, you owe him some notes in your blog like he asked for.
610 listener: That's right. Angelo called it. Sabathia didn't make it past the sixth inning. In fact, he didn't survive the fourth. Nice job, Angelo.
