So, we already knew that Cole Hamels will start Game 1 of the NLDS. The Phillies have decided on right-hander Brett Myers for Game 2 and lefty Jamie Moyer for Game 3.
Not a tremendous surprise. Myers has a far better ERA at home (3.01) than on the road (6.21). Also, the Brewers have struggled against right-handed pitching, and Myers tossed a complete game against them on short rest on Sept. 14.

Also, a bit of book-keeping: To complete the Aug. 30 trade for outfielder Matt Stairs, the Phillies have sent lefty Fabio Castro to the Blue Jays.

If the Phillies meet the Bosox in the Series, the Phils are dead meat. The brilliant Theo Epstein picked up the heavy-hitting Gil Velazquez for the stretch run. It was a masterful stroke. The Phils had their chance. But no....they would rather stand pat with Chase Utley. The Phils will pay dearly for this miscalculation.
Huh.. I always thought Castro was adequate.. not awesome, but adequate... was that a good move?
