You start Happ in game 7 maybe as Hamels is shut down for the year obviously but in reality you can't worry about game 7 at this point. I don't blame charlie for not trotting cliff lee out there as pitchers pitching on 3 days rest in the playoffs in recent years have had some horrendous performances and the numbers show high eras sub 500 records etc. Lee has never done it before either so at this point might as well not even risk it. As far as the phillies being dead they're the type of a team that would wow you by winning 8-9 games in a row this season then drop 3-4, thats just who they are. In the playoffs over the past 2 years, and to their credit, all their series wins have basically been demolitions of other teams winning 4-1. If they were playing good baseball then maybe I would agree they still have a punchers chance, but from the ABs I've seen, they're just not there this time.
