Bye-Bye CC

In perhaps the biggest surprise of this young postseason, the Phillies absolutely shell CC Sabathia, who has been fiercely dominant since coming to the National League midseason. Sabathia gave up a grand slam in the second inning to Shane "The Flying Hawaiian" Victorino en route to being given the boot after 3 2/3, with the bases loaded. 

This sets the Phillies up perfectly for the next game against the Brewers, as they're up 5-1 already, and Milwaukee has to go to their already thin bullpen early and tire some of their better pitchers in it out.

The Phillies are looking more and more like they're going to take this one in 3.
