Phillies off day news
| Written by: Lazinger

With a Braves loss to the Astros (thanks Ed Wade!), the Phils sit 1.5 games back of the division lead going into tomorrow's home tilt against the Dodgers and former Phil Vicente Padilla.  With the Giants losing, they could wake up tomorrow tied for the wild card.  Here is some other Phils news:

Cody Ransom cleared waivers and will accept his assignment back to Lehigh Valley.

The Phillies also made two international signings in two 16 year old shortstops: Anderson Gonzalez and Francisco Silva.

Also via philly.com: The Phillies have scored five or more runs in an inning 16 times this season. That is tied with Arizona for the most in the majors. . . . With the day off Monday, the Phillies will not skip anyone in the starting rotation. Kyle Kendrick starts Tuesday against Los Angeles and is followed by Oswalt and Joe Blanton. . . . Greg Dobbs pinch-hit in the eighth and grounded into a fielder's choice. Dobbs is hitless in his last 18 at-bats and is batting .079 (3 for 38) as a pinch-hitter this season. . . . Lefthander Cole Hamels has struck out at least 10 batters without a walk in two straight starts, the first Phillies pitcher to accomplish the feat since Curt Schilling in September 1996, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Great statistical breakdown of Raul's time in Philly.Top prospects traded this season and offseason.  Interesting to note those that changed hands in the Halladay/Lee deals.

This looks like the best jackass movie yet:
