Phillies Season Ends With 2 Losses To Sox
Remember those glory days, just two days ago, when the Phillies were flying high, 3 games on top of the NL East. Well, apparently they’re now over, as Philly.com notified us on the front page this morning (above). Yes, indeed, the Phillies lost to the Red Sox, 7-4, yesterday, and are now only 2 games up in the division. You may remember people (okay, Cole Hamels) talking about Phillies-Red Sox being a World Series preview just a two afternoons ago. Well, forget it, now, because Chase Utley is in a slump (the first player ever to suffer one) and the Fightins are doomed. Doomed, I say. There are things to worry about if you’re a Phillies fan. John Finger addresses them nicely here. It’s mid-June. The Phils have lost a couple series in a row. It’ll be okay. |

seriously how many phillies blogs/forums do you read? every time i think i’ve got a handle on things with BSG and philliesphans and beerleaguer and 700level and the good phight and like 30 other friggin things, you go and quote something i’m not reading.
ok nevermind i see it in your list over there. i’m gonna post this comment anyway.
Being in first place on June 19 is simply not good enough. The Phillies need to have already won the World Series by the All-Star break or none of us should be satisfied.
Why shouldn’t the Phils be held to the same high standard as Donovan McNabb?
