A recap of Game 3 of the World Series in two languages.<\/em><\/p>\n

Los Filis se hab\u00c3\u00adan despegado en el marcador 4-1 en el cierre del sexto episodio del tercer juego de la Serie Mundial, con sendos bombazos a las gradas del rightfield de Chase Utley y Ryan Howard. Los MantaRayas reaccionaron en la entrada siguiente. Carl Crawford toc\u00c3\u00b3 la pelota entre pitcher y primera. Cuando todo indicaba que se embasar\u00c3\u00ada en una jugada clara, el lanzador Jaime Moyer se lanz\u00c3\u00b3 sobre la pelota y lanz\u00c3\u00b2 desde el piso con el guante. De acuerdo a la repetici\u00c3\u00b3n televisiva, Howard tom\u00c3\u00b3 la pelota con la mano limpia fracciones de segundo antes que Crawford tocara la primera base. El \u00c3\u00a1rbitro decret\u00c3\u00b3 “quieto”. Moyer restreg\u00c3\u00b3 los p\u00c3\u00b3mulos sobre la grama y se levant\u00c3\u00b3 a paso de plomo. El manager Charlie Manuel discuti\u00c3\u00b3 por un momento con el \u00c3\u00a1rbitro. Un gradiente de tristeza y rabia encend\u00c3\u00ada sus ojos cuando caminaba hacia el dugout.<\/p>\n

Moyer vio hacia primera y enfil\u00c3\u00b3 hacia el mont\u00c3\u00adculo ladeando la cabeza. En el sexto inning sac\u00c3\u00b3 la lengua como diciendo “me salv\u00c3\u00a9” cuando Evan Longoria descarg\u00c3\u00b3 un batazo inmenso que termin\u00c3\u00b3 cayendo en el guante del leftfielder Pat Burell. Seguramente ahora Moyer pensar\u00c3\u00ada “\u00c2\u00bfPor qu\u00c3\u00a9 no busc\u00c3\u00b3 la ubicaci\u00c3\u00b3n correcta para ver la jugada?” Dioner Navarro despach\u00c3\u00b3 doble a la izquierda para dejar hombres en segunda y tercera. Gabe Gross empuj\u00c3\u00b3 a Crawford con rolling por la inicial. Navarro pas\u00c3\u00b3 a tercera. Chad Durbin relev\u00c3\u00b3 a Moyer. La mirada del abridor de los Filis oscilaba entre la grama, la tribuna y la primera base. Un aspecto vidrioso impregnaba sus ojos hasta la garganta. Se sent\u00c3\u00b3 en el dugout y hundi\u00c3\u00b3 la barbilla en las palmas de sus manos. Jason Bartlett la rod\u00c3\u00b3 al campocorto y Navarro anot\u00c3\u00b3. Moyer segu\u00c3\u00ada mirando hacia primera base.<\/p>\n

Cuando B.J. Upton empat\u00c3\u00b3 el juego en el octavo al robar segunda, tercera y anotar por error del catcher Carlos Ruiz. Moyer ya no estaba en el dugout.<\/p>\n

Hay dos opciones cuando la sentencia equivocada de un \u00c3\u00a1rbitro altera el curso de un juego apretado. O mantienes la calma y sigues batallando con obstinaci\u00c3\u00b3n. O te desesperas y resuelves todo descargando todas las consecuencias en la sentencia.<\/p>\n

Los Filis se fajaron y batallaron hasta el final para alcanzar la victoria con puro b\u00c3\u00a9isbol. Las im\u00c3\u00a1genes de Moyer lanzando la pelota desde el piso ilustrar\u00c3\u00a1n las memorias de el tercer juego. Pero la carrera de Eric Bruntlett hacia la goma con el rolling de Carlos Ruiz mostrar\u00c3\u00a1 que la esencia del juego es tratar, insistir, perseverar, dejar el alma sobre el terreno por ganar.<\/p>\n

English Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Phillies had increased their adavantage in the score to 4-1 in the bottom of sixth inning of the third game of the World Series. Chase Utley and Ryan Howard smacked back to back homers. The Rays answered in the next inning. Carl Crawford bunted between the pitcher and first base. When it seemed, it was a clear base hit. Jamie Moyer dived in the grass and threw the ball with his glove. The video showed that Howard received the ball with his bare hand fractions of second before Crawford touched first base. The umpire called him safe. Moyer rubbed his cheeks against the grass and got up with lead in his muscles. The skipper Charlie Manuel argued with the umpire for a while. A gradient of sadness and madness shined in his eyes when Manuel walked back to the dugout.<\/p>\n

Moyer looked at first base and took to the mound while shook his head. In the sixth inning Moyer had took his tongue out like saying “saved by the bell,” when Evan Longoria hit a long drive to left field that ended in Pat Burrell’s glove. Maybe now Moyer would be thinking “Why didn’t he take the right angle to see the play?” Dioner Navarro hit a double to left field to leave men on third and second. Gabe Gross plated Crawford with grounder to first base. Chad Durbin relieved Moyer. The Phillies starter’s glance drifted among the grass, the tribune and first base. A liquid film covered his eyes through his mouth. He sat down in the dugout and sank his chin in his hands. Jason Bartlett hit a grounder to shortstop and Navarro scored. Moyer kept looking at first base.<\/p>\n

When B.J. Upton tied the game 4-4 in the eighth inning after stealing second and third bases to score on a Carlos Ruiz throwing error, Moyer wasn’t in the dugout.<\/p>\n

There are two attitudes in front of an umpire’s wrong call that alters the course of a tight game. Or you keep the calm and stay battling. Or you fall in desperation and solve everything by blaming on the wrong call.<\/p>\n

The Phillies hustled and battled to the end to reach the victory with pure baseball. The images of Moyer throwing the ball from the grass will illustrate the memories of the third game. But Eric Bruntlett’s run to home plate on Carlos Ruiz’s grounder to third base will show that the reason of the game is to try, insist, persevere, leave the soul on the grass in order to win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
