Well, the Phillies became the first team to clinch a playoff spot last night. They hold an 11 game lead on the Braves (who are pretty decent themselves) with 16 to play. Of course, all the Phillies clinched was at least a wild card berth, but it won't take long for them to sew up the division. I expect the Tigers to be the next team to punch their ticket, leading the Indians and White Sox by 13.5 with all of 13 to play. I didn't say I was going out on a limb or anything. By the way, isnt' that a hell of a picture with the Phanatic? Back on point, it's not news that the Phillies are a damn good team. The rotation is one we will talk about for ages. The lineup might not be as good as the one from the 2008 squad, but when you're rotation is as good as the one they've put together, that's not the biggest concern. I'm not sure how much better shortening the rotation will make the Phillies, since they were so strong from top to bottom, but it's never a bad thing when you get to pitch Roy Halladay more.* *Halladay has pitched the only no-hitter I watched from start to finish in my life, against the Reds in last year's playoffs. Of course, I was very firmly on the Reds band wagon last year. I don't have much else to write today, but my TV is being put in as I type, so I'll be able to watch some sports again. Hallelujah. Also, Wabash's home opener is on Saturday. You'll probably have to suffer through to D-III football (and basketball when we get there) talk. I know, I know. I hear you. I know the title is a lie. Just like how Irregular Webcomic! is the most regularly updated comic in the world. "Life is ironic, isn't it?" Comments are closed.
