The Phillies are busy painting a moustache on their Mona Lisa of a season.
The Phils lost their sixth straight last night. And they looked lousy doing it.
They managed all of one hit against rookie Nationals pitcher Brad Peacock.
You can read all the details here.
Of course, none of this means anything. But they have six games remaining, and those last three in Atlanta are going to mean a whole lot to the Braves – and the Cardinals.
St. Louis is closing in on the Braves for the Wild Card slot.
And the Phillies need to regain a little confidence, if not their swagger, before the playoffs kick off next weekend.
They get Ryan Howard back in the lineup tonight in New York. Hunter Pence is due to return Saturday.
The Phils have not win since the clinched the National League East crown last Saturday.
They have overcome a staggering series of injuries and other pitfalls to get to this point.
Let’s hope they can climb out of this hole as well.
