Who woulda thunk it? It seems like just a short while ago that the Phillies’ only chance at the postseason was to make up enough ground to challenge for the wildcard. Well, two Fightin’ Phils’ sweeps of the division leading Mets later, coupled with continued success while the Mets falter, suddenly has the Phillies tied for first place, with only 3 games to go. It is amazing how a 162 game season can come down to this. Philadelphia is about to start its most meaningful weekend of baseball in 14 years. There really seems to be two types of Phillies’ fans now - the optimist, who has seen this team lead the Major Leagues in come from behind victories this year, and the pessimists, who have seen the Phillies come close the last few years (not to mention a playoff drought since 1993), only to fall short. I have friends that fall into both categories. I guess I’m more of an optimist, tempered with caution. Either way, this is the most fun watching baseball has been in years. Let’s go Phils!
