A seven game losing streak has quickly erased any ideas that this team might be not-quite-awful.
If the season were to end today, the Phillies would have the 2nd overall pick in the 2016 draft. For all of their losing, they haven't been able to overtake the Brewers for the top spot -- at least Milwaukee finally snapped a seven-game losing streak of their own yesterday.

The Phillies are off today (to participate in the ALS Phillies Phestival), and will continue their nine-game homestand when the Reds come to town tomorrow.
