Losers
No matter how much money they spend, no matter how much hope they engender, no matter how many MVP's they have on the team, the Fightin' Phils will always be -- absent any kind of overwhelming evidence -- losers.
When you have runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs and can't get a runner home, you are a loser. When you first-pitch swing against a guy who just walked the pitcher on four pitches, you are a loser. When you have a 3-2 lead, two outs, and an 0-2 count in the eighth, and think it would be a great idea to throw a pitch straight down the middle of the plate to give up a game-tying home run, you are a loser.
Same old crap. Just enough to lose.
Or as Conlin the sage sez: Don't ever count on this team.
