Are the (gasp) Phillies coming back to the top of the NL East?
Can they get into the post-season - AGAIN?
After a mediocre (stinking) season so far, they have a 7 game winning streak and are 3.5 games behind the Braves for first place...

Can baseball be interesting again for Phillies fans?


:applause:

1. At this point, they don't have the pitching
To keep up with the Braves over the long haul.

4 games back in the loss column.

If Philly signs Oswalt, Braves will counter by signing a big outfield bat.

Braves farm system is stocked with prospects.

Utley is still on DL and Victorino just moved there himself.

2. I'm going to see the Phillies play in DC tomorrow night...
Can't wait. Sadly, I will be rooting for my Nats to win, but should the Phillies take that game it won't be the end of the world. I'll say hi to Raul Ibanez (near where I'll be) for you...:)

4. Phillies won #8 straight last night, face a series with the mighty Nats next...
at home!

Phils now 3 games out of first place behind Atlanta...


Have a great night TZ, but I hope the Phils win again.
