On the Rise Again
September 1st, 2007What a difference a couple of days can make. The Philles were seven games out of first on Sunday. Here it is Saturday morning and they’re a mere two games out after a fantastic four game sweep of the Mets. The series was one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. The entire team contributed to the success with a few players stepping up their play to the level needed to make it to the playoffs. The biggest part of the success was the return of Chase Utley to the lineup. He sparks the team just by having his name in the lineup.
