In case you haven't noticed and judging by the attendance you havent. The Philadelphia Phillies have actually managed to win some games. In fact despite still being in last place in their entire divison they are only 1.5 games out of the first spot! So, after all the belly aching, and hatred spewed at them and their fans bascially wanting to burry the team alive, they still have a shot of a post season life.
Considering the fact that its early June, the even notion of talking about the playoffs is still absurd. However, things were looking pretty grim for the fighting Phils for a month and half and it looked as if the season could have just been a fromality by the end of this month had they not turned things around.
I am no baseball expert, but from what I understand their divison is farily lousy. Well you don't have to be an expert to notice in the standings (at the time I write this anyway) they have merely on less win than the first place Braves.
So, hatred of the owner aside. It's as if the first quarter of the season never happened standing wise. With the divison so tight. The Phillies won both games of their double-header last night, and things are a lot brighter. It's as if the Phillies have risen from the dead.

The thing with the Phillies is not that they are a bad team, they just are not a good team. They are mediocre and that is it. They are going to hover around .500 all year and never really contend for a playoff spot. They will not make any major moves to improve their team around the trading deadline, while all the other teams will. They are a heartless team that is ot really concerned about winning.
