With all of the over-the-top bloviating about the Phillies getting Cliff Lee and now having 4 aces that would be number 1 pitchers on any other team, I think it prudent to point out that NO GAMES HAVE BEEN PLAYED YET. Remember how the Phillies were supposed to win the World Series this year because they had 3 guys pitching their best? Oops.
To trot out that old chestnut- that’s why they play the games. And that’s why they’ll still play the games next season, instead of just capitulating to the Phillies paper-awesomeness. As I recall, the Phillies could’ve used some bats this past offseason.
