I think their terribleness has been highly overstated. The Phillies have not actually been good (the past 3 days were ok). Statistically, they have been about the same as the Braves, but the Braves have been getting unfortunate Pythagorean luck against a tough schedule, while the Phillies have been getting fortunate Pythagorean luck against an easy schedule. Oh I was not saying they're good...please don't misunderstand. Just saying that haven't been brutal.
