Its been forever since they have been in first place. Whats more amazing is that they are doing it with a pitching staff that has been decimated by injuries. Being a philly fan its been a wild season. Then their are the padres who lost 2 starters in one game. Yet pull out a 2 out homer in top of ninth at san fran to win the other night. Won last night and keep on fighting. Then we go to the central. Sorry cub fans I don't want to hear anything about its our time! Your up by 3 and lose 3 straight to the fish. Worse yet brewers have chance to close the gap and lose 2 straight! Do baseball fans a favor cubs give up your spot to one of the losers in the other two races. You don't deserve to be in the playoffs! Besides every one knows when you lose, you'll blame it on the curse! Bartman! Please the happiest person in chicago was your shortstop who booted the next play for an easy double play. Also you still had to play game seven! So make baseball proud and forfeit your playoff spot to a team that deserves it!

I was reading the playoff scenarios if all 4 end up tied..They would have to play additional playoff games Mon Tues and Wed just to figure out who gets in!

Chuck yeah your right about the cardinals and I was hoping someone would bring that up. Playoffs are about whose hot and most important who has the best pitching. Unfortunately or not the best team doesn't always win it. I just think it would be a shame to not see the rockies in the playoffs or my phillies. Who now control their destiny, win two and the east is theirs. Unbelievable! I remember a few weeks ago the phillies were up 8 to 2 on atlanta and the bullpen gave up 7 runs. I though that was the dagger. But manuel and the players never surrendered. Jimmy Rollins is having an absolute great year and should be mentioned for mvp. He had the balls to tell the mets in spring training to watch for the phils. They backed it up and have beaten the mets 8 straight times. The rockies can still get in just beat arizona and have brew crew beat the padres just twice. Who knows who will win it but this time of the year is the best. If you ever get the chance go to the world series its unbelievable. I got to go to the twins-cards in 87 for 2,6 and 7. Its was crazy!

Last night at Citizen's Bank Park was the most surreal feeling I've had in recent memory. Awesome performance from the Phils. It serves Lo Duca and Beltran right, for every time they were questioned about thier inability to beat the Phils, they trumped the "Look at the standings" card. They got what they deserve, which was a total collapse. We pity the team that would have to face our lineup IF we make the postseason. GO PHILS!! and Hard Spun.
