At the halfway point of the season--not the All-Star Break, the games-played-based halfway mark--I unveiled the (to my knowledge) inaugural The Good Phight Game Recap Standings and analysis. The idea behind this was to recognize, if not reward, the long hours each of us spent and will have spent watching the worst team in baseball play baseball games. I was hopeful, though not optimistic, that this study might uncover some special secret that could turn around the Phillies season and transform the team into playoff contenders.
We, unfortunately, didn't learn much aside from the fact that some of our writers were blessed by the fortunes of small-sample variance to receive stellar 1-0 records in their first-half recaps.
