The fact that they're in the wild card lead and in striking distance of 1st place, despite all of the injuries, is proof that the Phils are still the cream of the crop in the NL.

"Head and Shoulders above the rest of the NL".....
Sure if you say so...lol

LOL...nothing is better than local Sport's Talk radio after the local team loses. Especially here in GA when the Bulldogs or the Falcons lose. Its hilarious what people call in and say when they are drunk and mad

This morning the talk around here is that the Mets are getting right back in this and will catch the Phillies to grab the wild card. This after winning one in a row.

Don't sell yourself short! The way some of these other teams are playing right now, you might BE in the wild card race.

You're not going to like this, but the Phillies weren't swept by the Astros. Not yet anyway. Four game series.

I still think the Phillies will be fine. They're just starting to get their lineup out there again, and that takes time. If they stay healthy they should have a big September.
