Maybe this is the best way to sum up the National League playoff race. Consider the Philadelphia Phillies, with big expectations after a winter of big deals. Here's what's happened:
• Six of the relievers on the Opening Day roster -- and eight overall -- are currently on the injured list.
• Andrew McCutchen played 59 games and went down for the season with a torn ACL.
• Bryce Harper has been good but hardly great, and his 19 home runs in the season of the juiced ball while playing in a homer-friendly home park feel absurdly low.
