I wouldn’t start printing World Series tickets just yet, but you have to like the Phils’ chances.
They’re now three games up on the Braves after thrashing the Marlins again last night, 10-5, to complete a sweep in Florida. In the meantime Atlanta lost again to the Nats. There are 15 games left in the MLB season.
Watching the games in Florida is bizarre. There is almost no one in Sun Life Stadium. Foul balls go into sections that are completely empty. Every sound is compounded. You can almost hear conversations.
The Marlins listed last night’s attendance at 19,402. The truth is I don’t think there were 19,000 people in the stadium on the three nights combined.
The Phils are off today, then host the Nationals for the weekend starting Friday night. The Phils will be back in the comfy confines of Citizens Bank Park, where 45,000-plus will jam into the park every night.
And the Braves arrive for a crucial three-game set on Monday, with the Phils ready to throw Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels at them.
Smells like October!
