"In Game 5 of the NLDS, Cardinals center fielder Skip Schumaker saw 10 pitches during his at-bat in the first inning. He fouled off six of them before Roy Halladay hung a curveball, which he belted into the right-field corner to drive in the only run of the game.

It was as professional an at-bat as you could have.

In Game 2, Shane Victorino batted with runners at first and third in the first inning. The Phillies had already scored two runs with nobody out, and Cardinals starter Chris Carpenter was reeling.

Victorino swung at the first pitch and flied out to short center field.

It was as unprofessional an at-bat as you could have."
