This could be a big week for the Phillies. It starts off with the Phillies in Houston to take on the Astros, and Roy Oswalt and Hunter Pence making their first trip back to Houston as Phillies. The Phillies should at the very least clinch a playoff spot, and possibly clinch the NL East title by the end of the week. The Phillies clinch a playoff spot tonight if  they beat  the Astros and the Pirates beat the Cardinals, not likely, so the Phillies will probably have to win two against the Astros to clinch a playoff spot. The week should end up with the Phillies clinching another NL East Division Title against the St. Louis Cardinals, unless of course the Phil;lies sweep the Astros and somehow the Marlins sweep the Braves then they clinch it in Houston on Wednesday, would imagine Oswalt and Pence would like that.
