Phillies, Dodgers almost brawl

Last night was game 3 of the Phillies-Dodgers series, and the first few innings were full of action. Unfortunately, Jamie Moyer did not have good stuff, so the Dodgers were able to put together 5 runs in the first inning. Moyer got the axe the following inning. Clay Condrey took over and brushed back Russell Martin, who ended up grounding into a double play. This after he was hit by a pitch the previous inning. So when the Phillies come up, the Dodger pitcher throws over Shane Victorino's head. After Victorino makes an out, the benches clear. The bottom line is that the Phillies couldn't recover from the early deficit and lost 7-2. Game 4 is tonight in a little over an hour.

Tampa Bay is playing Boston right now and leading 5-0, but it's hard for me to follow that game since it's on TBS.
