He's lucky they won yesterday because he did something that could have earned a little ire from the NY fanbase. He peeled off to RF instead of sliding hard into 2B during a DP -- ARod's I think. That's the type of thing that pissed Philly fans off about him. He had a big series, so that would have helped, but if they had lost that game by one, then that play could have been a huge contributor to the loss. He's a very talented ball player, but easing up on the opponent won't fly in NY, especially if it contributes to a loss.
