PHI 5, LAD 1

The Phils go back to the Classic for the first time since '93. I suspected they'd win the pennant, but did not see it happening in five games...so much for that "Torre and Manny vs. the Sox" narrative all the sportswriters hoped so hard for.

Ze points:

PHI: 3 + 10

Howard, R.'s bat wakes up just in time: 1
Ramirez, M.'s never went to sleep, but alas, it wasn't enough: 2

Hamels, C.: 5 (no points awarded for having a foxy brother, but believe me, I considered it)

New standings below. We've lost two entrants on the Dodgers' elimination; their names, in italics here, will not appear in future updates. (Sorry, guys.)

92: Aaron
86: Lauren
75: Sarah
73: Zach
69: Maria
68: Jill Diddy
60: Jill Tupac
50: Brian
43: Tim
42: Broomfield/Romine and Joe
35: Tommy C.
27: Angela
25: Tom
21: Matt

It's Kazmir v. Dice-K tonight at 8 PM for all the pennant marbles. A Boston loss is not a total horror for the pool but will knock out Matt...and the 2007 Pool Champs Broomfield/Romine.
