I blame this on every single blowhard who talked about how unclutch he was.

But prior to this postseason he had never come through. It was bound to happen eventually given the talent he has. It has just all come in one postseason. And can someone tell McCarver that even if he hadn't "stolen" 3rd Damon still would have scored.

That may be true, but you could see the Phillies (read: Lidge) let down after that play. It was Lidge's responsibility to cover third base to prevent that from happening. I am no fan of the Hanks or Damon, but that was a brilliant heads-up play and, combined with the AB itself, was the play of the series.
