Happy Labor Day! Do you know where your team is in the National League East standings? The most likely answer if you're reading this newsletter is second place, four games behind the Atlanta Braves after a couple of lopsided losses over the weekend to the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs won the rubber match of the series Sunday by an 8-1 score and became just the second team to hit three home runs in a game off Phillies ace Aaron Nola, who had allowed just two home runs in his previous 12 starts.
As Monty Python advises at the end of Life of Brian, always look on the bright side of life.
