Tonight the Phillies take on the Angels at Citizen's Bank Park, the Phillies homestand. I dare not attempt to make a prediction of the outcome. I just hope the Phils regrouped on their day off yesterday.
After playing against some of the toughest teams in the MLB, the Phils seemed to respond with a new trend. Instead of winning the series against the opponent, they are losing 2 games to 1. And they come out strong in the first game winning, but tucker out the next two. This is some switch after consistently winning series after series for some time. The offense had gotten weak and far from playing their best ball. Chase Utley was in the worst batting slump I ever saw him in, and made a huge error the last game they played against the Red Sox. I may be wrong here, but did I see the prospective all-star second baseman drop a simple little-league play ball that just popped out of his glove on what would have been the third out. I like Utley, but damn. What was up with that?
For the sake of Phillies fans everywhere on the East, get it together guys.
