http://tinyurl.com/3qyd79s MILWAUKEE -- Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash will have a keen eye on the National League's other Game 5 on Friday night, regardless of whether the Brewers punch their ticket to the NL Championship Series earlier in the day. The late game will feature the Cardinals' Chris Carpenter against the Phillies' Roy Halladay, a dream matchup of particular interest to Ash. He was the Blue Jays' GM when Carpenter and Halladay forged a bond as Toronto teammates, two young right-handers struggling to gain their foothold in the Major Leagues. "The torch got passed from [Roger] Clemens to [Pat] Hentgen and Hentgen to those two guys, and they were very close, very similar in terms of experience," Ash said. "They came up somewhat on the same path. "Chris came up and had some initial success and faltered a bit and had to go to back to Triple-A and came back. The same is well documented with Roy. I think they competed with each other and they pushed each other. They were pretty intense and enjoyed the camaraderie off the field and pushed themselves on the field." Now they will be pushing against each other. The decisive Game 5 of the Cardinals-Phillies series is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. CT on TBS, about three and a half hours after the Brewers and D-backs begin their own Game 5 at Miller Park. --
