After struggling throughout the entire four game NLDS against the Milwaukee Brewers, second baseman Chase Utley came out of the gate with a fury in Thursday night's NLCS opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Well, okay, maybe a fury is overdoing it a little, as he only had two hits, one for a single. But the quiet star hit the biggest hit of his career, a game tying two run homer...
