IT WAS SO quiet and then it was so loud. It felt that way all over Citizens Bank Park in the moments before and after Chase Utley hit that sixth-inning, two-run homer. In the upper deck, the swanky boxes, even in the bullpen - as Phils closer Brad Lidge said, "It went from where you could hear crickets to where you couldn't hear anything."

First Utley hit his homer, then Pat Burrell clubbed another. The Phils took a 3-2 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers and then Cole Hamels pitched the seventh inning, his last inning. At which point, the bullpen finished it off.
