Phillies pitchers won 20 games 49 times, 25 of them happening from 1883 to 1899. The overall list includes names like Grover Cleveland Alexander, Kid Gleason, Wiley Piatt, Duke Esper, Togie Pittinger and Tully Sparks. (No, I had never heard of Wiatt, Esper, Pittinger or Sparks, either.)
25 in 18 years? What? Yeah, I guess it's gotten harder to win 20 games. I like Zolecki's typo on Piatt or Wiatt or whoever it was.

Speaking of News and Notes...this was at the bottom of the recap on Yahoo from last nights game :
Notes: Halladay’s 13 wins against the NL East are the most since the league was broken into three divisions in 1994. … The Phillies are 50-27 at home, their most wins since going 52-29 in 1993. … The nine-game winning streak is a season-high for Philadelphia. … Phillies C Carlos Ruiz threw down to third on a close 1-2 pitch to McCann that was called a ball in the second. … Halladay is the second 20-game winner in the majors, joining CC Sabathia(notes) of the New York Yankees.

Nicely done. My wife has gone with me on baseball tours of all 5 California ballparks and 4 Midwestern ballparks. Our kid(s) will be brainwashed to love baseball.

What an awesome fucking game! Great performance. Oswalt had no-hit stuff. Raul with a huge clutch hit, Werth great baserunning. Lidge 3 saves in 3 nights - can't remember last time I saw that.
Reds are getting killed, so Magic # s/be 4 to clinch home field throughout the playoffs too!

Oswalt was and has been awesome. I admit I wasn't a huge Oswalt fan when he was with Houston but the guy has been awesome here in Philly. Damn impressive. It's not over until it's over, but it's over boys. 4 straight division titles and a great chance at 3 straight world series - wow. what can you say? amazing that they are going to end this before next weekend. never saw that coming.

The Phillies are believed to have offered Werth the deal Jason Bay got from the Mets last offseason of $66 million for four years, or thereabouts, which Werth rejected while represented by Jeff Borris and the Beverly Hills Sports Council. That is also not a comparison preferred by Boras, who just started representing Werth and called him a "dynamic outfielder who can play center field."

the boras quote in that clip is hilarious. werth is horrendous in CF. I think he's overrated in RF defensively
amaro said that if the phils lock up the number 1 seed in the NL that they will be taking the long series in round 1. that means their first game will be on tuesday.
This team is playing out of this world right now. Bobby Cox not setting up his rotation for this series was a bad mistake. Are big 3 have been all that and then some. We used 5 pitchers the whole series i kinda hope thats how the playoffs work out. Can't wait for another deep run in october go Phills.

I thought I heard tuesday, but I guess it's wednesday. I didn't think the phils decision effected the AL, but I'm not sure about that.
He definitely said they want the long series, so the phils will be playing on the first day of the playoffs. They won't have to use blanton until game 4 of the NLCS. that is scary

I disagree. I think it was pretty damned smart for cox not to use hudson or lowe vs the phils. He knew the pitchers the phils were rolling out in this series. I think he purposely held hudson/lowe back so his team can make a run at the wild card.
Maybe I'm giving cox too much credit, but he's been around. He knows what he's doing.

Yeah, the Phillies decision definitely wont impact the AL but I was just curious if what I was looking at was completely wrong. Making plans around that Wednesday or Saturday and got worried for a second.
Funny story from last night...I will preface this story by telling you guys that I am the whitest, pastiest dude you will ever come across. I'm the epitome of a blond haired, blue eyed WASP.
Had tickets for last nights game and I got a text from one of my good friends that lives down in fishtown. He asked me if I wanted to hang out before the game. Said it was supposed to rain, so he wanted to hang at his place rather than tailgate. Sounded good to me so I went to his place. My wife was still at work, so we arranged to have her pick us up at his place, then head over to the game. We had 5-6 beers each before we left for the game and during the game I only had 1 beer. After the game he decided he was staying at the ballpark to hang at mcfaddens. My wife and I both just wanted to head home, so she dropped me at his place to get my car.
I usually take 95 to 476 to get home, but there is some construction going on and I didn't feel like sitting in traffic, so I decided to take the back roads through west philly to get home. I am cruising through beautiful west philadelphia, down frankfort avenue when a cop pulls me over. I wasn't drunk, and I didn't make any violations, so I was pretty confused. The guy was about 5'5 and he comes up to my car and tells me to give him my keys. I have been pulled over before and I know this isn't protocall. I asked him if everything was ok and he asked me for my keys again (this time raising his voice). He put my keys on the roof of my truck and asked for my paperwork, which I provided...then he told me to get out of the car. Dude checked my pockets and searched my car...asking if there was anything in the vehicle he should know about. No I told him. He then asked me if I knew what neighborhood I was in. I told him I had no clue, but my GPS was taking me this way on my way home. Then he told me to get back in the car and he ran my paperwork. Brought my stuff back to me and told me to have a good night (without giving me my keys, which were still on my roof). He never apologized or even gave me a reason for pulling me over.
I think the cop thought I was in the area to buy drugs. So I guess I was the whitest victim in the history of racial profiling. He seemed pretty pissed off that I didn't have anything on me. I almost shit myself when he started searching me, even though I didn't have anything to hide. I had been drinking earlier so who knows what I would have blown on a breathalizer (he never even asked me if I had been drinking).
Moral of the story is that 95% of cops are douchebags. And if you're a pasty white guy, don't drive around west philly trying to buy drugs late at night, because you will get nailed.
