Mets shutting down Wheeler, he was scheduled to pitch this weekend in DC.
Phiiiies up 1-0 on Mets going to Bot 3rd
Braves(10 games remaining) win moves them up 6 games on Phiiiies pending tonight's outcome vs Mets. Phiiiies have 11 games remaining after tonight.
Nats on verge of being eliminated as they are 7 games back, 10 to play. MN=4
3-0 phillies now, looks like they'll win tonight
I wouldn't call being swept in an embarrassing manner gravy, but I can kind of see your point.
Don't count the Mets out...Phillies bullpen has been pretty bad lately.
4-0 philly now still batting two runners in scoring position.
If the Braves can just split this series coming up, they’ll be in great shape. Phillies have to win the series.
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Since Ronald Rump closed the thread, just gonna say, if I lose the zito award then everything is rigged. I'm calling the on the Phillies to hack the voting and give me the edge.

Honestly, the Phillies have to sweep. You have to expect that we will probably take 1 or 2 vs. New York and Philly will lost a couple in Colorado. At that point Philly would basically have to win all 7 against us to make the comeback. Its possible, but I just don't see it happening.
They really need a sweep. If braves take just 1, the magic number would be 4. They have to go to the Rockies and we play the Mets. Gotta figure they lose at least one, and the braves win at least 1. That would put the magic number at 2. The Phillies would have to sweep the final series, and that's if the braves only beat Mets once and they only lose to Rockies once. They pretty much have to sweep this weekend to have a shot
Ha... thinking same way
I closed it so early nominations dont influence other voters. Has to be what you think not swayed by arguments. Maybe I'll make a thread for it.

Yea, even if they hold on tonight they must sweep us to have a real shot. We could win one and they'd still be 3 and a half back going into our off day where they face Colorado, lose that game after winning three of four against us and they are still 4 back with only 6 games to play.
Need Gausman to have a great outing tomorrow and get the win. Don't have a lot of confidence in Julio or Newcomb. Hopefully Folty can outduel Nola. Obviously would love to wrap this up this weekend so we can rest guys and try to figure out who's going to make the playoff roster.

Oh God, now I'm wrong!
Phiiiies beat Mets. Still 5.5 games back with MN of 6
Gausman gave up a season high 12 hits in a loss to Philly on July 12th while still a member of the O's. Hopefully he does much better vs them this time. Personally, this is one series I miss McCarthy as he owned Philly for us early this year. I also rather have Sanchez pitch in this series than most anyone pitching in it as his crafty style is the most likely to give Philly trouble IMO. I have the most confidence in Teheran this series just so long as he's on his game. I trust Newcomb the least as usual.
Braves take game 1 vs Phiiiies 8-3 cutting MN to 4 on Phiiiies, and at most 3 on Nats.
Mets win!
Get off my lawn!
