Start the countdown.
We are seven days away from the start of another Phillies season.
Once again we have, in the inimitable words of Harry the K, “High Hopes.” And with good reason.
Anybody think this team does not have a great shot at doing something that has not been done in the National League since Stan Musial’s St.
Louis Cardinals teams did it in 1942-43-44, that being win three straight National League crowns?
The Phillies appear well-stocked to try to do just that.
How far has this franchise come?
Consider this: Anything less than a three-peat, another trip back to the World Series, will likely be considered a step back.
There was a time when .500 baseball was considered a lofty goal for a franchise that has set the all-time mark for losses.
That was then; this is now.
We’re now Kings of the Hill, A No. 1. Top of the heap.
And next Monday, the Phillies will start ‘spreadin’ the news.’ Again.
That’s the word for the week, and the season.
Three-Peat. You gotta’ believe.
