Don't look now but the Phillies are in trouble. They don't hurt. Several members of their staff don't pitch, and now they're getting hurt. Ben Revere in the leadoff spot hasn't worked, and Ryan Howard continues to wait for warm weather before he heats up. This team needs a shakeup before it's too late.
