We need more posts for the Phillies. 
The only team that really scares me in the NL is the Giants because the Phillies never seem to do well against them especially in San Fran, but with our pitching and their lack of hitting we should have the edge.
I honestly feel like there will be another parade this year. The Phillies just look unstoppable right now and they will be a tough challenge for anyone. I really hope for a Phillies/Yanks rematch with the good guys coming out on top this time.
This year has been amazing so far when you consider all of their injuries and it feels like almost every offensive player is having a down year (besides Chooch) and yet they are on pace for their best season yet.
I'm normally a hockey fan first, but it's hard to concentrate on it now when it feels like the Phillies are in the midst of something special.
Man I really hope Halladay shuts down the Braves tonight. We need to pad his stats for the Cy Young.

I still can't believe our top three starters are Halladay, Oswalt, and Hamels -- and that Hamels has returned to his '08 form.

Phillies can almost put away the division with a win tonight against the Braves. The only team I wouldn't want to see would be the Rockies, so lets hope the Giants and Rockies miss the playoffs.
I would love to see SD in the NLDS, then either ATL/CIN in the NLCS.
It does look like it is a collusion course between the Yankees and Phillies, but the Yankees pitching is not as good as it was last year, and they won't be able to use a 3 man rotation (The Phils probably can't either). I guess they will have to throw Blanton out there at some point.

Wooohoo 10 in a row and a sweep of the Braves! The magic number is 4 with 9 games remaining. Any chance they clinch by Sunday? 
Which is why I am dying to get a rematch at the Yankees. The ending will be totally different this time around with those 3 in the rotation.

With the off days the Phillies will only need to use Blanton twice in the postseason. Things are set up perfectlyPhillies can almost put away the division with a win tonight against the Braves.

Hopefully the Phillies can clinch early enough to get home field advantage and rest their horses for the playoffs.

11 in a row
If the Braves score holds win up the Phillies can clinch as early as tomorrow night.

The Phillies now have the best record in baseball. Who would have thought they'd be as good as they are now 5 years ago.

Figures, I haven't gone to a game in forever and I go to last night's game and they lose. Typical. Great seats though.

So what do we want to see happen tomorrow? Nothing would warm my heart more to see the Phillies knock the Braves out of the playoffs, but a Braves + Padres win to force a 3 game playoff would be epic.
A Phils win and a Padres win will give us the Phillies/Giants matchup I want to avoid.

Giants won which means the Phillies draw the Reds in the NLDS. Would have loved to see the Braves season ended on Cox's last game, but love that we get the Reds. 5:00 PM start on Wednesday!
