PLAYERS: Ryan Howard,  Chase Utley
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies

JA Happ went 7.2 innings, allowing only 1 run, and picked up the win, while Ryan Howard supplied the offense with 2 blasts and 4 rbi. Happ continues to make a push for the NL ROY, and it certainly appears Ryan Howard has begun his late season surge (Aug/Sept/Oct). In the last 4 games he's 7-13 with 5 r, 4 hr, and 9 rbi. For his career, Ryan has gone .300/.405/.637, 166 r, 50 dbl, 5 trpl, 81 hr, and 224 rbi from August-October. _____________________________________________________Phillies on Products:________________________________________________________WSBGM's Phantasy League 3:Rank/Team/Record/Win%/Games Back1.

Phillies enter 10-game stretch looking to pad their lead

Via The Recliner GM  |  August 18, 2009
The Phillies close the season October 2-4 with a 3 game series at home against the Florida Marlins. I want that series to mean absolutely nothing. A good start to reaching that goal would be for the Phillies to take advantage of their next 10 games, all against low level competition. We start with the 54-65 Diamondbacks who are missing Justin Upton, then 4 games with the 55-63 Mets...
