    And the Braves complete a sweep of the Padres, go into the final homestand with a lead of 2.5 games(3 games in the loss colomn) and a magic number of 5, three games against the Phils will almost certainly decide the season

    That puts my Phillies in the unenviable position of having to sweep the Braves, then hope for help from the Mets afterwards. I have to admit I'm not liking our chances, especially since the Phils finish the season against the Marlins whom they've have had no end of trouble with for the last two seasons. URGH!

    I don't like our chances too much to make the playoffs either.

    And of all teams in our division to end the season with... the damn Marlins.

    Here's a question I'm wondering about, does anyone know if there's a rule against pitching one pitch with overhand standard delivery, the next with a sidearm or true sub-mariner delivery, and the next with maybe a fast pitch softball delivery, assuming they know how? Can you even do a fast pitch softball style delivery in MLB? Just idly wondering.

    Have you guys been following the Braves though? They've had a tendency of late to come from ahead to lose, so maybe the Phillies have a better chance of that than you think.

    NY media making a big deal about the Yankees sweeping the Red Sox for the #1 place in the wild card by one game. But Yankees last four games are against Toronto and The Rays. Boston is facing Baltimore and the Nationals. It'll be hard for the Yanks to keep their spot.

    I hope you are right that they have a better chance than we think.

    And suddenly, every perienial contender in MLB is salivating Shohei Ohtani has indicated that he wants to win and go to the postseason perhaps even more than he loves playing for the Angels. Either the Angels finally pony up for some pitching help, and perhaps a couple more good to great hitters, or he might not be there for too much longer, (he's got two years on his extension).

    Dropping 3 straight to the Yankees is rough.

    Phillies playoffs start tonight as far as I'm concerned. Facing elimination at that.

    Sad to hear that. He's been a fixture here since long before I was around. All the best to him.

    I've probably already said this, but the Phils basically have to run the table against Atlanta and Miami, and hope for some help from the Mets who face the Braves after we leave town.
