Roy Halladay and the Phils will try to clinch the NL East tonight in D.C. They've already clinched a play-off berth, so there's no danger in me jinxing the team by posting a
Gene Mauch card recently purchased at the Valley Forge baseball card show. Mauch was the first manager of the Nationals' predecessors, the Montral Expos, and when I posted a Mauch card in the last Nationals' series
preview post, the Phillies went out and swept them. A sweep would be nice, but we're really only looking for one more win. Go Phils! (I'm assuming that's what Mauch is yelling in this photo.)
Phillies Probables: Roy Halladay,
Roy Oswalt,
Joe Blanton
Nationals Probables: John Lannan, Jason Marquis, Ross Detwiler

Jim,
I just learned the other day that Mauch won manager-of-the-year in 1964!
