The timing of my writing this particular mailbag is a wonderful one, as the Phils are laying a pungent, fetid egg on a rainy night against the Diamondbacks. But that foul smell comes on the heels of what’s really been a terrific hot streak, and that’s worth more than one bad game.
Let’s let the rain wash Tuesday night’s game out of our brains, and instead take a second to focus more on the good baseball that’s been played over the past three weeks.
It’s sort of amazing that the Phillies won 13 of their last 16 (before Tuesday).
