ESPN - Braves vs. Phillies Box Score, September 27 2007 - MLB

The Phillies are tied for first!

Moreover, the Mets are actually a game OUT of the wild card slot, thanks to winning streaks by the Dodgers and Phillies. The Mets are heading for a legendary collapse unless they wake up over the weekend.

Ryan Howard is one of the game's all-time all-or-nothing guys. Despite missing 18 games this year, he has amassed 130 RBI and 197 strikeouts. Given the tight battle for the division and the wild card, there is no chance of the Phils benching their big fella, so he should become the one and only member of the "200 club."

The previous record for strikeouts by a 130 RBI man was 182 (Cecil Fielder 182, 132; Jim Thome 182, 131.) The strikeout records for 140, 150 and 160 RBI are all held by Sammy Sosa (171 twice, 171 once, 153, respectively.)
