The Phillies apparently are not ready to relinquish the sports pages to their neighbors across the street.
It happens every year, but there’s a difference this year to the friendly joust between the Phillies and Eagles to dominate the Back Page.
For the last few years the Phillies have been one of the best teams in baseball.
This year they are looking up at everyone else in the National League East.
But last night they showed they’re not dead yet. They did something they have not done all year.
They staged what at one time was a regular feature at Citizens Bank Park. They electrified another packed house with a ninth-inning comeback, rallying from three runs down to beat the Brewers, 7-6.
And they did it on another night when ace right-hander Roy Halladay was fairly pedestrian.Jack McCaffery has all the details here.
Football season will have to wait, at least for a few more days.
