PHI 3, LAD 2

We'll see how the series shapes up now that L.A.'s putative closer is out with elbow trouble. In the meantime, Philly pickers snag 3 along with

Ramirez, M. 1
Utley, C. 3
Lowe, D. 2
Hamels, C. 8
and Lidge, B. 1

And Aaron's lead narrows somewhat:

58: Aaron
52: L. Shots
43: Jill West and Maria
41: Zach
38: Sadie B.
35: Jill East
30: Tommy C.
29: Joe
27: Broomfield/Romine
26: Tim
23: Brian
17: Tom
16: Angela
12: Matt

Ryan Howard plates a few damn runs, the whole game changes. While we wait for that to happen, the NL goes again at 4:35 on FOX; ALCS kicks off on TBS at 8:37 with two pitching picks.

I, for one, am glad to see Derek Lowe *finally* wrest the title of "sweatiest pro athlete" away from Patrick Ewing.

Here's hoping Ewing washes the commemorative sash before presenting it to Lowe at a pregame ceremony when this series shifts to Los Angeles.

I'm glad it wasn't just me and my boss having the VERY SAME CONVERSATION this evening. There are a few instances where hi-def gets scary, and this is one.
