A friend sent this card from 1983. She found it the other day in a shop somewhere on the coast of New Jersey.It's Cole Hamels vs. Clayton Kershaw, already hyped as the second coming of Sandy Koufax, tonight in Game 1 of the NLCS. Pedro Martinez goes tomorrow, against former-Phil Vicente Padilla. Chan Ho Park, deemed ready to go, has been added to the roster, along with the handy Eric Bruntlett. To make room for them, Brett Myers, who did not look recovered from his back strain, and Kyle Kendrick have been cut.
Charlie Manuel did a brilliant job of managing in the NLDS and last year outmanaged Joe Torre in the NLCS. Keep it rolling, Charlie! Let's go, Phillies!
