- Staying strong: Brad Peacock (+28.5%) has 2 Ks and 2 BBs over 5.2 IP, but gets through it scoreless thanks to a lot of weakly-hit fly balls.
- CHOMP! Roger Bernadina (+14.9%) is 2-4 with two-out RBI's in the 3rd (+9.8%) and the aeyeth (+7.4%).
- If only we could find a leadoff hitter: Ian Desmond (+7.3%) is 2-4, "doubling" in a run for the early lead (+11.5%) and scoring twice, himself.
- Interesting: Tom Gorzelanny (+5.8%) gets a fly out to end the 6th, escaping a bases loaded-jam that he helped pitch himself into (-11.8%).

Nice down hill graph
The phillies are “coasting” into the post season.

Into a post-season where they will not last long
…and they will look back on this four-game sweep with something less than fondness.

Good pitching, timely hits....who are these guys?
Their future is so BRIGHT, they HAVE to wear SHADES!
The best part of the whole series? Detwiler’s dominant pitching!
I’m still smiling about that.

Glad Manuel didn't take out Oswalt when it was obvious he should have
Maybe that dinger helps get Morse’s groove back (he’s been hitting singles lately; I much prefer the XBH’s).

When Charlie jogged out to the mound, I knew he wasn't bringing the hook
…and I plumb smacked my lips in anticipation.

And how about Ankiel?
Messin’ with Oswalt during the long Flores at-bat. That was good stuff – former pitcher pretending (or not?) to signal pitches to the batter.

Excellent observation
…it was indeed a highly ex-pitcherlike maneuver, and pretending or not, it really got under Oswalt’s skin.
