After demolishing the Milwaukee Brewers on Labor Day, the mood amongst most Phillies fans was cautiously pessimistic. While we enjoyed seeing the Phillies administer a butt-kicking to a first place team, many fans fully expected the team to follow it up by falling flat on their faces.
You're not a real Phillies fan unless your first reaction after seeing they are winning 12-0 is "they are getting shut out tomorrow"

Sometimes you can predict baseball. One day after they did just about everything right, the Phillies’ pitching sucked, the defense sucked, and a day after putting up 12 runs, the offense put a grand total of zero runs on the scoreboard.
