With our schedule in Sept., we aren't gonna be able to limp into the playoffs. Either we start balling (by getting reinforcements or simply just playing better), or we are gonna miss out altogether. I'm not at all comfortable with a 3.5 (soon-to-be 2.5) game lead.
I don't see this team making the playoffs if this past week is any indicator. Philly is a quality team. We just don't have the bullpen to keep a good team down, and we don't have the bats (right now) to outhit a good team. Too many key injuries. The front office got one good arm from the deadline, but have up a lot of young talent to get it. Blanco was a really nice surprise, but he's starting to tire later in the season.
ETA: maybe I'm wrong. I hope so.
