BY SCOTT LAUBER While we wait for the rain to stop (or, more likely, for tonight's game to be called) ...
* The Phillies have won all four coin flips for possible tie-breaker games. So, if the Phillies wind up tied with the Mets in the NL East or the Brewers, Astros or Cardinals in the wild-card race, the tie-breakers would be played at the Bank. By the way, retired Phillies PR honcho (and Wilmington resident) Larry Shenk was the lucky charm who called the flips.
* Brett Myers threw in the bullpen today and will start Sunday on short rest.
* Rumor here is that tonight's game would be made up as part of a split day-night doubleheader Sunday. The Brewers have informed MLB that they'd rather not play Monday, a mutual off-day for both the Phils and Brewers.

It's better for the Phillies to play 2 either tomorrow or Sunday. If they play Monday, that would open up the possibility of the Brewers throwing Sabathia at them.
Brian: That's exactly right. Of course, the Phils could counter Sabathia with Myers on regualar rest. What we're hearing, though, is that it's the Brewers, not the Phils, who prefer to have Monday off.
Who cares?
