Two, too, to ...

1. Cole comes up aces! He's been the Phillies' best pitcher for two months now, and last night was no different. Hamels manned-up yet again and gave the Phillies a 4 game lead with two weeks to go. (Bill Simmons disclosure: Our Dad was at the game last night.) Roy Halladay takes the mound tonight. Roy said all winter how much he was looking forward to pitching in Big Games in September. Tonight's game is the biggest one yet for Halladay. He's been a bit off the last month. (Our theory: Too many complete games in April and May.) If Halladay shuts down the Braves and gets the W, the division is all but locked up.


2. Another week, another sweep in Fantasy Football! The Playmakers won, 105-92, to rise to number 2 (out of 12) in the power rankings. Jay Cutler (25 points), Andre Johnson (21) and Tim Hightower (17) came up large. We may, however, need to scour the waiver wire for a new RB, as Ryan Mathews (2) went down with a bad ankle. The Sons of Mike Schmidt won a low scoring affair, 73-67. We had only three guys place in double digits: Darren McFadden (14), Tom Brady (11) and Matt Forte (11).
