The Rose Award For 10-10-2008. LCS Edition.

The Rose Award goes to Shane Victorino of the Philadelphia Phillies,
who went two-for-five with four RBI in a 8-5 win over the Los Angeles
Dodgers.

Dodgers Manager Joe Torre had too much confidence in his pitcher, Chad
Billingsley, and left him in too long as the Phillies pounded out a
four-run second inning.

Torre didn't remove Billingsley until he watched him give up his
second hit to pitcher Brett Myers, a two-run third inning single.

And, Billingsley later blamed the catcher for pitch selection.
Classy.
