Maybe the Phillies aren't dead yet.
Or maybe the Padres are just dreadful.
At any rate, there's nothing better than a walkoff homer to lift a team's spirits.
Backup player Reid Brignac provided the highlight reel moment last night as his three-run blast in the 9th lifted the Phils to their second straight win.
Dennis Deitch has the details.
And columnist Jack McCaffery notes there are lots of reasons for optimism for Phillies fans.
The huge question hanging over this team will continue to be whether they should be buyers or sellers as the trade deadline looms out there in the distance.
Will they hold on to veteran players such as Jimmy Rollins, who sits just three hits away from tying Mike Schmidt as the team's all-time hit king, and Chase Utley?
The guess here is that they will look to move them, unless they can somehow climb back into the race.
A third straight win today, in a 1 p.m. businessperson's special, would help.
