    Man, Wallace rips a ball to RF but right to Werth.

    For anybody worried about Wallace, top prospect Domonic Brown isn't off to a great start, either: 1 BB and 17 SO, .229 AVG.

    Here's a really good link for contracts that Brooks gave a few series back:

    http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/2005/01/houston-astros.html

    If you click on the 2010-2014 payroll obligations it shows everyone's salaries for those years or their arbitration years, and then their first FA year.

    This is another good site that someone linked to that shows FA Type status: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/elias-rankings/

    Wandy is presently a firm Type A, not even including this outing.

    Myers went from strongly a no Type to a Type B with his great season but he's right on the edge.

    Challenging Q and Lee for player of the series.

    As I speak, another SB for Bourn.

    The last time #Phillies were swept in 4-game series at home? Back at the Vet, Sept. 6-9, 1999 vs. – wait for it – the Houston Astros

    Props to No Worries if we get another out before giving up 4 runs.

    Michael Bourn fittingly makes the final out.

    In my view, Philly basically lost 5 games in a row minus a few innings.

    That was quite the excellent series if you are an Astros fan. Philly fans must be hating life right now to see their home team get swept. I'm loving it!!!!!!

    Castro is very well-spoken and seems to have a great demeanor for baseball.

    Does anybody have Wandy's nubmers since Castro has been catching him?

    I remember seeing them a few starts ago and they were outstanding. Not sure if it's just Wandy turning it around or a combination of things.

    My enthusiasm from sweeping this series and continuing this run popped when I realized that we have to face Dickey again for the Mets in 3 days, not to mention facing Santana, Carpenter, and Garcia over the next 6 games...
