Phils... PHILS! Again you kill me.

All you had to do was win every game through the end of the season (that's all), and the wild card would be yours. You had a one game lead, and without a loss, it would have pretty much been difficult to lose the playoff berth. But no. You couldn't hold on, and now we're tied again and need a little help.

So listen up... you can't lose. Anymore. At all. You must win every single game this week, and hope someone else loses one or two (problem is everyone is hot right now). PLEASE, don't let us down. We don't care if you get swept in the playoffs. We'd just like to see a playoff series out of you. After three straight winning-record 2nd-place-in-the-division seasons, we'd like to see some progress. That's all. Not TOO much to ask, eh?



Update, 27 Sep
Am I the only one glued to any sports-score source in reach? It's been a particularly exciting late baseball season and early football season. But those Phils... it's like they're killing me and then shocking me back to life and then killing me and then... I feel like I can't get back to full strength because my body knows at any next moment it could live or die on a whim. But I love it. Mostly.
