"It's Always Wild in Philadelphia"

once again our fearless fighting Phils are in a Wildcard race again, and for the most part no one seems to care. I recall last year all excited when it was down the wire over Duke's. No one there aside from Jason cared, or even knew. This year it's a bit better, but I am sure once the Eagles start the real season they will get all the headlines and 610 airtime.

At any rate not only to the Phils still have a leigit shot at a wildcard spot, Ryan Howard is poised to set a single season homerun record for the ballclub. Howard knocked out his 45th.

The blast put Howard in a tie for third place with Mike Schmidt (1979) on Philadelphia's single-season home run list. Jim Thome is next with 47 (2003), then Schmidt again with 48 in 1980.
