BY SCOTT LAUBERAlmost time to head over to the Bank for NLDS workout day. The Brewers take the field at 1 p.m., followed by the Phillies at 3 p.m. We'll hear from Game 1 starters Cole Hamels and Yovani Gallardo, managers Charlie Manuel and Dale Sveum (almost typed Ned Yost), and much more. Over the past 24 hours, information on game times and starting pitchers has been trickling in, so here's the full schedule as we know it:
Game 1: Wednesday, 3 p.m., at Philly, Gallardo (0-0, 1.88) vs. Hamels (14-10, 3.09)
Game 2: Thursday, 6 p.m., at Philly, Sabathia (11-2, 1.65) vs. Myers (10-13, 4.55)
Game 3: Saturday, 6:30 p.m., at Mil., TBA vs. Moyer (16-7, 3.71)
Game 4: Sunday, TBA, at Mil., TBA vs. TBA
Game 5: Tuesday, TBA, at Philly, TBA vs. TBA

Admit it: You love Charlie Manuel. After being mocked and ridiculed for nearly three years, Manuel is the toast of the town. Amazing, isn't it, what winning will do?
***
Pat Gillick said he still intends for 2008 to be his final season as a GM, but in a conversation with The News Journal yesterday, he left the door slightly ajar for a potential return.
***
Jimmy Rollins didn't quite match his MVP season, but he may have saved the Phillies' with his glove, as Martin Frank writes.

Who needs tickets? Be prepared to empty your wallet.
Gotta run over to the Bank. More in a bit.

Wow, I just looked up the word "understatement" in the dictionary and that is the definition I found>
