Phillies 2007 NLDS Roster

First Up: The Phillies have left off Adam Eaton. I'm going to go down the whole roster.

Starting Pitchers
Cole Hamels
Kyle Kendrick
Kyle Lohse
Jamie Moyer

Bullpen Pitchers
Brett Myers
Tom Gordon
J.C. Romero
Antonio Alfonseca
Clay Condrey
Jose Mesa

Catchers
Carlos Ruiz
Rod Barajas
Chris Coste

Infielders
Ryan Howard
Chase Utley
Jimmy Rollins
Wes Helms
Gregg Dobbs
Tadahito Iguchi
Abraham Nunez

Outfielders
Pat Burrell
Aaron Rowand
Shane Victorino
Michael Bourn
Jayson Werth


Carlos Ruiz is day-to-day after getting hit by a pitch on sunday, part of the reason for 3 catchers in this first series.
Chris Roberson would probably be the first positional player added to the roster if something added to someone.
Geoff Geary is injured but may return if Phils advance.

Final Rosters aren't due until 10am tomorrow so it's still possible something may change, but it's unlikely.

ESPN - Phillies leave righty Eaton off postseason roster - MLB

Gotta Like the Marlins

"It was a big game for us, one of the biggest games in club history besides the playoffs because there was a lot riding on today," pitcher Dontrelle Willis said.

I like the Marlins style. If they couldn't make the playoffs they were going to do their best to keep a team they don't like out of the playoffs.

"I'm happy for (the Phillies). I have a very close friend of mine that I grew up with on that team," Willis said, referring to Jimmy Rollins. "I'm sure he's thanking me right now."

Dontrelle Willis and Jimmy Rollins are childhood friends, I didn't know that - interesting.

Ross said the win was extra satisfying for Marlins players who remember last September when they lost to the Mets and watched them celebrate the division-clinching victory on the field.

I was actually watching the Nationals broadcast of Sunday's game and the announcers made it sound like they enjoyed what they were seeing because the Nationals look up to the Phillies in terms of their new stadium and having die-hard fans like Philly.

Marlins revel in ruining Mets' season: "But Sunday's victory in front of 54,453 at Shea might rank as their biggest in New York since Josh Beckett's shutout of the Yankees clinched the 2003 World Series at Yankee Stadium."

Phils Win! Phils Win!
