The joke(?) is that Philadelphia sports fans have two modes: cocky and distraught, with nothing in between. After Wednesday’s loss in game two of the NLCS, guess which mode most fans are set to?
Welcome back to the cocky distraught meter where 24 hours ago it was "Phillies in 4" and now the season is over

I’m not going to pretend that game two was good. They had a prime opportunity to put an early stranglehold on the series and came up small.
