We keep saying we won't get our hopes up, but with a victory over the Cardinals last night, the Philadelphia Phillies are now 1.5 games behind both the Mets in the N.L. East and the Padres in the Wild Card race.
They've done this with, at last count, 157 different injuries, a bullpen consisting of wind, rain, a band-aid, aspirin and changed channels, two different MVP candidates in the middle of the infield (is Jose Reyes still the best shortstop in the league? Is he?) and a manager who should be a character on the Charlotte's Web.
We're shocked, and while we're still trying, really trying, to keep our hopes mired in Philadelphia doubt and self-loathing, it'd be nice to wake up in 10 or so days and, well, we're not even remotely going to jinx them.
