Last night’s win was one that the Phillies needed very badly. They were reeling after losing nine out of ten games and coming home, it was hoped, would be the medicine the team needed. Some of the issues that they have had of late - not producing with runners in scoring position, back breaking relief work - showed up against the Cubs, but in the end, the victory belonged to the Phillies.
Which brings us to our question: does one win after a long losing streak make you feel that much better about the team?
