>>>Doc does it. Complete game shutout to shut out the rest of the division. Good luck in the series, Doc.

>>Thanks again, Alan. That game was a pleasure to watch. On TV, for us, but it was clear that most of the fans in attendance were Phillies fans.

>Isn't this a new wrinkle that the team with the best record in each league gets to choose whether they will play an 8 day or 7 day series in the first round? (Assuming the series goes the full 5 games). As I'm sure you know, the Phillies elected for the 8 day series yesterday, which will make it easier for them to stick with the 3 man rotation.

I'm not sure whether teams have had the option before. They indicated that the Phils got it for best record in the league that has WS home field advantage.
