The bad news first: The worst team in baseball is about to get worse.
That probably seems unfair and impossible for a ball club that already has sunk to the equivalent of an ocean's Sea Monster Graveyard. But the Phillies are well known for being really good at being really bad and their final destination for 2015 appears to be baseball's version of the Mariana Trench, the deepest and darkest known place on the planet.
To the masochists still following this voyage to the bottom of the baseball sea, it should come as no surprise that a more pronounced level of awfulness is on the way.
