MIAMI - The Philadelphia Phillies want to keep playing next week, even if they are desperate for some rest.

Needing sleep but needing a win more, the Phillies stayed in the NL wild-card race Friday night by drubbing the Florida Marlins 14-2.

The victory came barely 12 hours after the Phils arrived at their team hotel following a second successive late-night finish in Washington. Thursday night's 3-1 loss ended at 2:07 a.m., and the Phillies reached their team hotel in Fort Lauderdale at 8:20.

But they hardly looked bleary-eyed. Philadelphia totaled 18 hits, including five by Shane Victorino and two homers by Pat Burrell.
"Definitely everyone is tired," Victorino said. "We found a way to do it and overcome what happened last night and put up 14 runs. "

So is this team ready for post season play?...Can Ryan Howard carry them, or are they just prime for a great 2007 season?
