Sports Thread #3 For 9/30/09: Phillies Officially Return To Postseason, Tigers About To Join Them

Shame they won't repeat, especially with how Brad Lidge is on his usual two year AWOL plan. But good for Charlie Manuel (not Jerry, i wasn't being sarcastic there, but in the next sentence) and a class team in my eyes. Looks like Francisco Rodriguez was just a bit outside with his prediction.

Meanwhile, the Twins basically had their season ended by the Tigers tonight. That's what happens when you place all your hopes on Carl Pavano.

And though I knew Ricky Nolasco was a solid pitcher, I never ever knew he could be this dominant. LIKE, record book time dominant.
