Phillies are worse than anyone could have imagined

AT THE MIDWAY point, these Phillies are historically bad, 100-loss bad.

So much would have had to have gone right for them to approach the respectability of even 80 wins that a .500 season almost defied possibility. Still, 100 losses are a lot different from even 90, or 95.

This isn't a baseball team, it's a reality TV show.

One with a really bad script.

It starts with the producers.

Their front office is leaderless; the manager defected; and the clubhouse is poised for deadline destruction by July 31.

This is beyond bizarre.
