Phillies to face Pujols less Cardinals!

The Phillies(45-28) will start a 3 games series tonight vs the (40-33) St. Louis Cardinals. The Phillies will have the upper hand in the series as they will be sending their top 3 starting pitchers (Halladay, Lee, Oswalt) to the mound in the series. Also in other news Cardinals star 1st baseman Albert Pujols will be out for the series and, for the next few weeks with a sprained left wrist that he sustained over the weekend so that will be one less bat the Phillies will have to worry about as the Cardinals lineup is loaded with good hitters already such as Lance Berkman who is having a carear year and, the always talented Matt Halladay. Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard loves visitng his hometown of St. Louis as he is a .365 hitter at Bush Stadium. Roy Halladay (9-3 2.56 ERA) will take the ball in game 1 and, will be looking for his MLB leading 10th win of the season vs Cardinals Right Hander Kyle McClellan (6-3, 3.96 ERA) tonight at 8:15 pm
