Most of us probably figured that the Phillies were due to lose tonight. That magical homestand against the Angels was a ton of fun, but surely they were going to come crashing down to earth sooner or later. After all, the Milwaukee Brewers are in first place and the Halos were in the midst of a no-good, very bad 12-game skid, and just because Joe Girardi was fired does not mean that the roster suddenly has reflexes. The holes are still here. They couldn’t pull this off again.
Right?
Somehow, some way, the Fightin’s pulled off another improbable victory against Milwaukee.
