The Phillies set their NLDS roster this afternoon with Miguel Cairo, Kyle Kendrick and lefty Antonio Bastardo making the squad. Sitting out this round are Eric Bruntlett, Clay Condrey and Tyler Walker. Kendrick was the hard-luck omission last year, as the team opted to go with J.A. Happ to fill the final 25-man roster spot throughout the 2008 Postseason. Bastardo was a surprise addition, but the Colorado Rockies are notoriously bad against left-handed pitching.
Perfect Attendance: Ryan Howard, Shane Victorino, Jimmy Rollins, Greg Dobbs, Chase Utley, Jayson Werth, Cole Hamels, Brett Myers and Carlos Ruiz are the only nine Phillies to be included on the Postseason rosters in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Twins in 12: Congratulations to Nick Punto and the Minnesota Twins - the 2009 AL Central Champions!
