Phillies Look To Fight Back In Game 2

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Fightin' Phils are trying to fight back, after a loss to the giants last night in the opening game of the national league championship series.

The Phillies are trying to shift momentum back their way in this seven-game series. Pat Gallen, the editor of the web site philliesnation.com, says a Game Two win to even up the series would be big.

"I think it's pretty important, just to have peace of mind going to San Francisco for three games," said Gallen. "You never want the opposition to take two games in your home stadium. So I think it's pretty crucial."

But, Gallen says even if the Phils drop game two, it is NOT panic time.

"This team has shown guile and a remarkable sense of the moment where they can come back at any time."

And members of Phillies nation would say now is as good a time as any.
