Joe Girardi said it was basically instinct and in watching Johnny Damon's steal of second and then third Sunday night in pivotal Game 4 was something special.

Damon changed the game..and maybe the series...with the swipes. In watching the replays on ESPN Monday, Damon had a "split second" to decide whether or not to go. He did and just avoided getting tagged out. And kudos to him on a great at-bat to get on.

After that, Phillies closer Brad Lidge threw nothing but fastballs and paid for it.

Great stuff. The little things win ballgames and that showed right there. Good for Johnny.

BTW, who is your MVP of the WS as we head into Game Five? Right now, I would go with Mariano Rivera.
