NLCS Set

So while I was getting my U2 on last night at the Dallas Cowboys new stadium in Arlington, Texas, the Phillies were busy disposing the Rockies at Coors Field. With a three-run ninth inning rally, the Phillies ended the Rockies season with a 5-4 win, winning the NLDS series in four games to advance to the NLCS against the Blue.

The NLCS starts on Thursday night with a 5:07 PM PT start. All NLCS games will start at 5:07 PM PT except Game 2, which is slated for a 1:07 PM PT start Friday afternoon.

The Phillies have also announced their Game 1 starter will be Cole Hamels. The Dodgers are still undecided as the availability of Hiroki Kuroda becomes more apparent. Roster decisions are also still up in the air because of Kuroda. Randy Wolf, Clayton Kershaw and Vicente Padilla are all but locks for the rotation. Kuroda is expected to throw a simulated game today at Camelback Ranch, and if all goes well, he'll likely be added onto the roster, probably bumping either Chad Billingsley or Jon Garland off the roster.
