Folks, we’ve officially entered into “collapse” territory.
After yet another heart-breaking loss last night, coupled with an Atlanta Braves comeback victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, the Phillies are 4 1⁄2 games out in the NL East, 5 in the loss column. In terms of the NL wild card, they are 2 1⁄2 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers for that final spot, with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers all ahead of them.
