Howard's end - Finger Food
At the outset, I reject the premise that the late-season games mean more, although Finger predicates the point by saying the games "seem" to be more important, which is fair and does tend to influence MVP voters.

Amaro expects to be a buyer, holds Phillies players accountable
It really only makes sense to "buy" in this context if you get player cheaply, or if you can control him past this season (i.e., Haren, Oswalt).

Pettis sent to bullpen
