Keep repeating this chant, Phillies fans:
It’s not 1964. It’s not 1964. It’s not 1964.
Get the picture, Fightins’ fans?. Take a deep breath. The sky is not falling, even if the Phils’ bullpen and shaky hitting with runners in scoring position seems to be.
Yes, the Phillies got swept over the weekend in Houston. Yes, they looked fairly inept in doing so, especially at the plate.
No, they are not going to pull a repeat of the famous ’64 debacle. At least I don’t they are.
The Phillies are desperately in need of a break. Luckily, that’s exactly what the schedule-makers have in mind.
The Phils left Houston with their NL East-leading tails between their legs, but their heads hit the pillow last night in the home of the worst team in baseball, the Washington Nationals.
The Phils will play three games in D.C. before heading home for a weekend set with the Mets and still one more visit from the Nats.
Now if they don’t win at least two of three in Washington, then it might be time to stay away from rooftops or sharp objects.
Until then, relax. They’re still up by six games.
It’s not going to happen again.
Right?
