Eh, I would think just the opposite. May light a fire for the rest of the year knowing noone is safe and everybody has to fight for a job. Frankly, I hope they pick it up enough to win the WC because I really would rather not play the Phils in a 5 game series. Even though we'd get the first 2 at home, vs anyone, I agree. Much rather have to face LAD in the NLDS before Philly. Anyone else noticed the Phillies are only a game back of the Mets and a cakewalk schedule the rest of the way? I think the WC race will be between the Brewers, Mets, and Astros in the next few days, with the Phillies winning the East.
