Phillies fall to Braves in front of record-low crowd

If a tree falls in a forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? If two bad baseball teams get together on a holiday evening for a game, does anyone care?

If the Phillies have a game scheduled at the same time as the Eagles season opener, will anyone show up?

These are the questions you find yourself pondering while the Phillies dropped their 85th loss of the season on Labor Day to the equally awful Atlanta Braves.

Freddie Freeman launched Aaron Harang’s 10th pitch of the night over the left field fence for a home run to help fuel Atlanta to a 7-2 victory over the Phillies on Monday.
