The Philadelphia Phillies are like Lucy with the football, and we’re all a bunch of Charlie Browns, always believing this time will be different.
Unable to complete a sweep of the Mets this weekend, they now take on the Baltimore Orioles, who continue to barely be a baseball team. If this was European soccer, they’d have been relegated years ago.
The Phillies have struggled to beat bad teams like the Cubs and Rockies, but neither are as bad as the O’s, who are 47-102, a whopping 44 1/2 games out of first in the AL East.
