Inside the Minute Maid Park visitor’s clubhouse Monday night, Rob Thomson told the team that had just rid itself of the longest active playoff drought in Major League Baseball that the work wasn’t finished.
“We’re not done,” the Phillies’ interim manager said, his right hand holding a bottle of champagne he’d soon try to drink from before remembering to uncork it. “After Wednesday, we’ve got 13 more wins, and then we’re World Champions.”
“Damn right,” came a voice from Thomson’s right. The NBC Sports Philadelphia camera didn’t show who said it, but it was easy to place.
