Strongest and weakest postseason performances this week

Strongest Performance-Ryan Howard
Howard has erupted the last 2 games with a total of 3 hr's and 6 rbi. When Howard is hitting like this the Phillies will be almost impossible to beat. This is the best Howard has played in the playoffs and now with his efforts the Phillies look primed to win their 1st World Series in 28 years.

Weakest Performance- Evan Longoria, Carlos Pena
These two have been the big bats in the Rays lineup all season. But in the World Series, they're a combined 0 for 29 with 15 strikeouts. And while game 4 may have been a blowout, they could have used those bats in game 3. Now they are looking at a 3-1 defecit having to go against Hamels. And of course Longoria's error in game 3 got the winning run across. Here is that highlight.

I think you're the only one still interested in the series outside of Philly and Tampa Bay.

I know I don't care anymore.

Trust me I'm not. Not like there's anything left to write about.
