NOTES
* Philly gets swept by San Francisco to start the week but bounces back to take two of three from Arizona … still the wildcard race is tightening … LA now leads the NL West by a half game over San Francisco.
* The Reds win six in a row to climb back into the wildcard race as well …
* Manny Ramirez of the Cleveland Indians (he never moved to Boston in Zarzour‘s world) hit his 400th HR this week
* A HUGE injury for San Francisco -- the Giants lost SP Octavio Dotel, who was 18-6, for the rest of the season. Yikes … Opens the door for the Dodgers to take the NL West …
* Phillies SP Chris George (called up to fill Andrew Zarzour’s spot) lost a 5-4 battle with San Francisco in his first start. He was 18-0 in Triple A before the call-up…
* This week for the Phils: Road trips to New York and Washington … plus September call-ups!!
