While we are licking our wounds over the Eagles come-from-ahead loss and waiting for some more words of wisdom from Andy Reid, a salute to the Phillies.
Yes, even after they took last night off, losing 5-0 to the Cardinals.
That’s because 24 hours before, they beat the Cards to wrap up their 5th straight National League East title.
An interesting aside from last night. The Phillies enjoyed their 199th straight regular season sellout and 212th overall, including the postseason.
Which is exactly where this Phillies team is headed again. This team is not about clinching a playoff spot. Or ever an NL crown.
Instead this team was built to go deep into the playoffs, to the World Series, and hopefully win it.
That’s why they enjoyed another home sellout at the same time the Eagles were on national TV. There was a time when that would have been unthinkable.
Not anymore.
Red October, here we come.
