Home-field advantage?

Well, I suppose we should all take comfort in the knowledge that if the Phillies make the World Series, they will have home-field advantage?

Uh, not exactly.

The NL again hammered the American League in last night’s All-Star soiree in Kansas City. Ryan Lawrence has it all covered.

And yes, in case you were wondering, they still use this otherwise meaningless piece of Mid-Summer fluff as the basis for home-field advantage in the Fall Classic.

Why do I get the feeling that the Phillies aren’t likely to still be playing in October?

If they are to have any chance, something that will happen tomorrow in Clearwater will figure very big in the comeback.

Roy Halladay is expected to make a rehab start. He could join the team on the West Coast next week. Read about it here.

In the meantime, get ready to start the countdown to Eagles training camp at Lehigh.

Go ahead, Phils, prove me wrong. Turn this city on its ear by coming out of the blocks for the second half of the season on fire. Rip off six or seven straight wins.

Otherwise, we’ll peg our hopes on the Birds.
