For the first time in the 2007 season tonight, the Phillies made it over .500 by beating the hated Atlanta Braves. I’m not ready just yet to proclaim that the Phightins will make the playoffs, but this outcome at least provides a glimmer of hope that the latest batch of bad luck, malaprops and poor playing will only be a distant reminder come August.
Then again, this is the losingest team in Major League Baseball history we’re talking about here. Check back in a few weeks to see if the luck continues. In the meanwhile, enjoy this shiny photo from my first visit to the Money Pit back in April.
