There’s an old saying in sports that goes something like “ya can’t win ’em all”, and thankfully for the Phillies, the reverse is also true: you can’t lose ’em all. At least not in baseball, where over the course of 162 games, even the worst teams of all-time have won more than 1/3 of their games.
The 2015 Phillies may indeed prove to be one of the worst teams of all-time in Major League Baseball. And today the Baltimore Orioles found out that even those worst teams do indeed win, given enough chances. The Orioles won the first three games of the four-game home-and-home series, but the odds caught up with them today, and they have to settle for taking 3 of 4.
