Be still, my beating heart. The Phillies are going to play another team in the National League that doesn’t hail from Atlanta or New York. It’s a miracle! The Lords of baseball are allowing them to exit the division!
It’s probably a good thing the Phillies are playing someone else. They have to get sick of seeing the game teams all the time so far and besides, it looked like those two teams had them figured out by the end. Now with the Cardinals coming to town, the Phillies can begin to mount a sustained offensive attack against a pitching staff that hasn’t exactly been lighting it of late.
