The following roster is what is believed to be the 25 players representing the Phillies versus the Brewers in the first round of the National League playoffs. Listed with each player are their career stats against Milwaukee. Rotation:

3. Jamie Moyer 9-5, 3.63, 1.32.
4. Joe Blanton 0-0, 3.86, 1.00.
Bullpen:1. Brad Lidge 5-3 record, 2.43 era, 1.10 whip, 17 saves.
2. Ryan Madson 2-1, 2.13, 1.26.
3. JC Romero 0-0, 2.53, 1.69.
4. Chad Durbin 0-1, 4.26, 2.21.

4. Eric Bruntlett .333, .836.
5. Geoff Jenkins 0-7, with 1 walk.
6. So Taguchi .282, .759.
Overall, I'm confident that our pitching staff will be able to keep the games close and that the offense will score enough to win the series. CC Sabathia will likely be troublesome, but as long as the Phils take care of business against the other Brew Crew pitchers, all will be good in the hood. This season the Phils were 5-1 against the Brewers and outscored them 33 to 16.
Look-a-like Alert:
Were Eric Gagne and Seth Rogen separated at birth?

I hope Chase is getting paid good money for that Vaseline lotion ad, because I know he's probably getting made fun of by his co-workers for it.
I hope he's getting made fun of. That is the most homoerotic commercial I've ever seen.
Is that the best ad he can get? I guess he's not at the same level as Howard and his Subway commercial.
Howard also did ads for Dick's Sporting Goods. Lidge did local ads for car dealerships. Utley also does TastyKake.
wow. that commercial. yeah, need to man that up a bit Chase.
I saw a Utley ad in a Dick's Sporting Goods store once. He was on the side of a clothing rack. I don't remember what was on the clothing rack, but I'm pretty sure I bought eight of them just because of Utley.
Sentiment in Sheridan story sounds suspiciously similar to Campaign Cheer.

Good article by ESPN's Tim Kurkjiam.
From article- Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino and Chase Utley went a combined 24-for-48 against the Brewers in 2008. *That's a .500 batting average!
I just sent Sheridan an email saying how similar our "Dare to Dream" and "Campaign Cheer" ideas are.
I feel like the Phillies should be able to take this series. They are the better team on paper, and the Brewers don't exactly come in on a huge hot streak like the Rockies did last season. Game 1 is huge, Phillies have to win that game, and the offense have to come through.
Lidge won NL Comeback Player of the Year. Link
It's official, the Model Dictator Fabio Castro has been the player to be named later in the Matt Stairs trade. Good luck lil' fella.
According to Phillies.com JA Happ has made the NLDS roster with Rudy Seanez likely being left off.
Chase Utley and Vaseline? I'M THERE BABY!!
Hamels needs a good game, and more importantly, RUN SUPPORT! This team, for some reason, doesn't swing the bat for this guy.
Chase Utley and Vaseline? No
Chase Utley and Tastykakes and Wawa? Holy shit, it's like my dream come true.
Pat Burrell was injured today during BP and walked off the field gingerly with back pain. Let's hope this is nothing big.
We need The Bat, he's our boy!
