Tuesday, September 30th, 2008The post-season rosters haven’t been set yet, but here’s a look at what some of the guys that could be pitching out of the Milwaukee pen over the next few days have done this season and in September:

Nothing like a cold Brewer
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Here’s a look at 20 offensive players who could impact the upcoming series between the Phils and Brewers, what they’ve done for the year and what they’ve done since (and including) September 20:
Hot
Chase Utley
292/380/353
10-for-27 (.370, 3 2B, 2 HR, […]
Bench slayers
Monday, September 29th, 2008The Phillies played their final game of the regular season yesterday, fielding a team of bench players that rolled over the Nats to get the Phils an 8-3 win.
Lou Marson made his major league debut and hit a two-run homer. So Taguchi, on the bench all season long, led the offense with three hits […]
It takes a village, but the villagers are going back to the playoffs
Saturday, September 27th, 2008The Phillies won an amazing game with a long list of heroes this afternoon, topping the Nationals by a run to clinch the NL East.
Jimmy Rollins has to head-up the list — and he went 1-for-4 and didn’t score or drive in a run. He made two sparking defensive plays that changed the game. […]
Balester can’t deter Phils
Saturday, September 27th, 2008Coming off back-to-back losses, Phillies fans were hoping to see the team come out strong last night. They got their wish. The Phils jumped all over Collin Balester as Utley and Howard combined to drive in seven runs in the first two innings. Joe Blanton pitched well and the pen was even […]
Phils may be wondering if there’s time to send Myers back to the minors before his next start
Thursday, September 25th, 2008The bad news is there might be.
It was looking pretty simple a couple of days ago. The Phils led the division by 2 1/2 games and were set to send their top two starters to the mound against the 69-88 Atlanta Braves. Two games later, it’s the 71-88 Atlanta Braves and the Phillies […]
Phils unveil a whole new dimension to their problems at third base
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008A lot of things are going to have to go wrong a lot of days in a row to keep the Phillies out of the playoffs. That probably won’t happen, but Phillies fans would sure feel a lot better if a lot of things hadn’t gone wrong last night. With a loss to […]
JA leads the wa
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008It wasn’t the ‘27 Yankees. Actually, with Chipper Jones and Brian McCann on the bench to start the game, it wasn’t even the ‘08 Braves, either. But JA Happ did it again last night. For the second time in two starts, the 25-year-old pitched well enough to help the Phils get a […]
Who’s hot and who’s not
Monday, September 22nd, 2008The Phillies and Marlins both came into their series in Florida hot, but, thanks to their bullpen, only the Phillies came out of it that way. The Phils took two of three against the Fish, delivering a crippling blow to the already slim playoffs hopes of the Marlins while inching ever closer to the […]
Better make that 32 good swings a year
Friday, September 19th, 2008I think the notion that Pat Burrell is only good for thirty good swings a year is absurd. Whether you agree or not, it’s hard to deny that he came up with a big swing last night. Every day seems to bring a new hero for the Phils, and last night it was […]
