"The Phillies blew a golden chance to take a commanding lead in the National League Division Series against the St. Louis Cardinals, and Cliff Lee took full responsibility for that.

"We had a four-run lead and I let it slip away," a dejected Lee said after the Phillies suffered a 5-4 loss to the Cardinals in Game 2 (see game breakdown).

The largest crowd ever at Citizens Bank Park – 46,575 – erupted in joy when the Phillies scored three runs in the first inning against Cardinals' ace Chris Carpenter. The crowd kept on rocking as the Phils built their lead to 4-0 in the second."
