The next two weeks could easily tell us if the Philadelphia Phillies will actually be in the playoffs or not. They play many playoff teams including LA who they are in the mix with for the wildcard spot and the Mets who they are chasing for the divison title. Lets go PHils!

I don't know. I really don't know. With the exception of the Marlins and Nationals, every single team they play from this point forward is either a contender or a team that's on the rise (like St. Louis). The rest of this season is going to be a bitch and a half. And once again, they have an abysmal April to try to overcome.
But this is baseball; anything is possible. I still think that they have a solid chance of getting the wild card. It will not be anything even remotely resembling easy, though. Then again, Utley and Victorino will probably be back within a week, and guys like Branyan and Coste are already delivering the goods. If the bull pen can just stop choking, we may well see post-season play for the first time in fourteen years.
And I know that both you and I have said this before, but it bears repeating: the Phillies need to keep Chris Coste. For two seasons he has proven his worth as a starting catcher. He deserves a place on the roster. He has already earned it.
As for me, I'm just hoping that they don't get rained out tonight. I've got some sweet seats! [TL]
