The Royals have been really good over the last few seasons. The Phillies have been very bad in those same few years. The Royals are the world champions. The Phillies haven’t been at that level in five years. And yet, this three game weekend series at Citizens Bank Park could still prove a good one.
You would be pardoned if fans of the team are snickering at that statement. The last time that our favorite ball club was seen in South Philly, they were being swept over six games by Toronto and Arizona as part of a nine-game losing streak.
