He was on the DL for 15 days

Conlin:

Roy Halladay runs away with the NL Cy Young. He is 18-10 for a Phillies team that has scored him runs in clusters of one and none. Doc could easily be 23-5 and will be the franchise's biggest winner since the glory years of Steve Carlton. In the Pitch Count Era, his 228 2/3 innings is an amazing number, as is a certain career high in strikeouts. And if anybody says, "Yeah, but we gave up the Eastern League pitcher of the year to get him," stick a bag over your head and breathe deep.

Stairs hit a go ahead HR against the Rox last night. He did the same for us last year, and it was Harry's last home run call.

Since the start of 2007and including 2010, there are 5 SP in MLB that have had an ERA+ of 135 or greater in 3 of those seasons:

Lester
Haren
CC
Roy Halladay
Cole Hamels

If the Braves lose this afternoon and we win tonight, we should celebrate the NL East title in Florida's lockerroom.

Was really bored around 8 a.m. and figured out that if we win the next five and the Braves lose their next five, we'd virtually clinch with a 7-game lead and 11 to play. Magic number would be 5.

Virtual clinch drops to a 6.5 game lead with 10 to play, 6 game lead with 8 to play, 5.5 with 7, 5 with 6, 4.5 with 5. After that you pretty much just have to actually clinch.

Not to party poop, but the magic number is 15. It isn't anything other than that. Clinching is clinching, there's no such thing as a "virtual clinch".

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Phils should clinch with enough time to set their rotation.

My only fear is our lack of a LOOGY and Charlie insisting on using Romero instead of one of his good RHP

The Phillies clinched when they traded for Oswalt. This is all just wankery.

missing FARGLE words and filters do not for crystal clear communication.

Just another example of his growing competitive streak

Hard to believe because guys like that typically don't have two friends, yet alone two female friends.

The Phillies have played 6 meaningless games under Charlie Manuel, and, of the 6, 5 were the "good" kind of meaningless - the Phillies had already clinched something, rather than being already eliminated.

Yep, the Phillies have played just one game since 2004 in which they were already eliminated.

i think this is my favorite so far of the wave of these kind of posts over the past couple of days.
