Mathmatically, the Phillies are still alive in the wild card.
But I know the truth. I am just not ready to fully admit it yet. The chances of the Phillies making it to the playoffs are very slim.
Los Angeles and San Diego are tied for first in the NL West and wild card, two games ahead of the Phils. A win or a Phillies loss would clinch a plyoff spot for either. So for Philadelphia to make it, they would have to win both and one of the other teams would have to lose both.
Not going to happen.
Maybe the Phillies win their final two games over the Florida Marlins. But no way the Padres lose two to Arizona or the Dodgers lose two to San Francisco.
While I am close, I have not fully given up hope. There is still a small chance.
I know, I know - I am just clinging to something that is not going to happen. But after years and years of suffering through seasons that did not extend into the postseason, I can't help but hope.
