Phillies

There are 17 games left in the regular season. The Philthies are only 1.5 games behind the Padres for the wild card. We are once again back in the same place we've been so many times in the last few years, in the hunt for the wild card in the middle of September. Remember the year the Marlins won the world series? Yeah, they took the wild card from us in the last week. They beat us good and we deserved it.

So, what's coming up? We've got the Mets, St Louis, Washington, Atlanta & Washington.

The Padres? San Fran, Pittsburgh, Colorado, San Fran & Milwaukee.

Yeah, we're finishing off with Washington & Atlanta. That's two teams out of the playoffs and not doing so well lately. But, we don't play either of them well. And, let's not forget the Dodgers and the Rockies are breathing down our necks. Seriously, it's gonna take some serious play. We can't win with the 5-5 we pulled over the last 10 games.

Dare to believe? Well, I'm certainly not going to hold my breath.

Good article on the subject...
