The Phillies are Lucy with the football and we are Charlie Brown.
After their 13-6 drubbing of the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night, the Phillies had won four games in a row, evened their record at 9-9 and scored 31 runs in those four contests. After getting swept by the Baltimore Orioles at home, they had swept their division rival New York Mets and went into Fenway Park swinging the bats beautifully. Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler were dealing and everyone up and down the lineup was hitting.
