Ryan Howard hasn't exploded in the playoffs yet. AP

The great Phillies announcer Harry Kalas had some interesting things to say about the Dodgers series.

1. Kallas thinks Ryan Howard could jump out of this slump at any time.

2. Jimmy Rollins is probably the leader of this team. Even when Rollins doesn't hit, he brings it in the field.

3. Harry won't pick out one team that Philly wants a win from more. Philadelphia fans just want a title.

4. Harry says Philly fans aren't negative. They support their teams in a hard-core way.

5. Kalas puts Manny Ramirez in the category of Robert Clemente or Willie Mays as a hitter.

6. Harry told a great story about how the Phillies fans spoke up after Harry and Richie Ashburn couldn't call the 1980 World Series. They were so vocal, they got MLB to change the rule to local guys could do the postseason.
