Are the Phillies standing on the edge of doom?

I know what you’re going to say before you even say it. Doom? Really, Stolnis? Doom, you say?

Look, I don’t want to be overly dramatic here, but it’s entirely possible the Phillies have spent their last and only day in first place this season, and things could get pretty rough around here for the next little while.

Despite having jumped into first place last Saturday for a glorious, if brief, 20 hours, and despite winning a huge series against the Atlanta Braves at home last week, the Phils suddenly find themselves in third place in the division and in a precarious spot.
