I Think You Hear Me Knocking, And I Think I'm Coming In, And I'm Bringing My Genetic Freak of A First Baseman With Me

By "me" I mean my beloved Philadelphia Phillies of course. I realize this post has zero to do with life in Aspen, but today's events are just too darned important to ignore. As of 1:13 AM this morning the Phillies, led by a rejuvenated pitching staff and Mr. Howard's ridiculous run at the single-season home-run record amongst players not ingesting copious amounts of horse testosterone, are now TIED for the Wild Card lead with the quickly-sinking Dodgers.

With four games remaining at home (3 Fla, 1 Hou) and six on the road (3 Wash, 3 Fla), the Fightin's don't play another team with a winning record. Could we be watching the Phillies in October for the first time since 1993?
