We all thought this series was going to mean something. We figured that the Phillies would still be in contention - possibly even leading the division - when this series began. We figured that their chances of making the playoffs was going to hinge upon beating the Marlins. And we figured that like just about every other time they’ve visited Miami over the past few years, they would utterly crap the bed.
But we were wrong! The Phillies got all the bed crapping out of the way before they went to Miami. And because of that, this series will not be what kills the Phillies’ season.
