Phillies are hot

Unfortunately I have to admit I'm not expecting much from this team anymore. Bullpen game tomorrow. They might stack some wins with a bunch of games against the Pirates, Jays, and Marlins coming up, but their run differential suggests they'll trend towards .500 and there are just too many good teams in the NL.

I was going to say that I think they should be sellers at the deadline, but I may be overestimating their chances of missing the playoffs. I also have no idea how being sellers would work, considering how locked in they are to guys like Harper and Turner, while Wheeler doesn't have much time left.

Man, when they go cold, they go ice cold.

This team reminds me of the Lindros/LeClair Flyers teams. Fun for a while, but it wasn't long before you knew those guys were never going to win anything. I feel the same way about this group.

The 2000-2004 - FFF-Philadelphia Eagles teased the fans in the same manner and end up with nada.

3 and 9 since Harper was hit and they did nothing.

Hate to admit that I've lost all hope in this team. It's not just the cold streak. It's the overall body of work.

I know they'll never do it but I think they should be sellers.

This team has a odor of 2023 Eagles around them.

This team has a odor of 2023 Eagles around them.

Last year's one & done team had the same stench. But the Phils' FO still believes a division title has meaning in today's game (it doesn't), so they ran-it-back as if that team had accomplished something.

Maybe it's time to shitcan all champagne locker room celebrations that don't involve winning a pennant or a World Series. That way teams won't go into the offseason believing they achieved something of consequence when, in reality, they didn't.

Offense: Two hitters that might cause anxiety in the opposite team, and a third that is streaky.
Defense: Shortstop average, right and left fielders average, center fielder(s) have moments both ways
