How do you think the Phillies will end up this year? Playoffs? Wild Card? NL champs?

Question

Will someone please tell me that the Phillies are good. All I hear is the mets, mets, mets. They did that they signed him, They won this game and that game. As a diehard Phillies fan will someone rid me of these thoughts of the Mets being Better than the Phillies

Answer 1

The Phillies have consistently been a slow-starting ballclub the last few years and have fought their way back to .500 again this year WITHOUT their MVP Ryan Howard who is on the disabled list. Their pitching staff is much better than the last couple of seasons so expect to see them playing in October for the first time since '93. With a solid, young core group of players in Howard, Chase Utley, and Jimmy Rollins, the Phils will be a threat for the next several years.

Answer 2

Well the Mets are in first place, and the Phillies suck this year. Howard is struggling, they dont have any good pitching, they are making sloppy plays. Look this team doesnt have a chance making the playoffs cause the Mets are kings in that division, and the Braves seem to be back to the Braves they used to be before last season. The Mets will win the division, the Braves will win the wild card, and the Phillies will finish in 4th in the East.

Answer 3

loL well sorry im a mets fan but i have to say itll be tough for the phillies to make the playoffs with the mets solid as last season leading the division and the braves as solid as the mets on their tail. Phillies have some woes first howard is in the DL and than their bullpen...which isnt that good so i see the phillies finishing in 3rd.

Answer 4

Personally I hope the Phillies can get somewhere. I have no care for the Mets. (The main reason for this is because of Moyer. He used to be on the Mariners. I like the Mariners.)
I think that they can pull off the Wild Card at LEAST. The Phillies are a good team, its just that the Mets are covering it up.

Answer 5

Sorry to tell you this...but they are third best team in that division. Not only are the Mets better, but the Braves are as well. I like the Phillies and they have some good players, but will be on the outside looking in this year. Unless they can figure out a way to fix that horrible bullpen it'll happen to them again next year too...

Answer 6

It would be funny for the team to miss the playoffs on the last day of the season and have Charlie meltdown on a reporter again. They are playing better, but they aren't jumping over the Mets and the Braves. And even if they finish second in the division, the WC may then come out of the West. I just don't see the Phils making the playoffs or finishing higher than third.

Answer 7

All other things being equal, if Ryan Howard starts hitting like he did last year, then the Phillies have a good shot at making the playoffs, even winning the division. If he doesn't-then no, they wont have enough to win the division, and the wild card will be a long shot.

Answer 8

Sry bud i hate the mets being a cards fan but the mets and atlanta are better than the phillies.........no play offs for phils this year.

Answer 9

Damn Blue Jays can't even score with bases loaded with one out. Don't get excited for winning against a subpar AA level team.

Anything is better than the Blue Jays and Ted Rogers needs to clean up the Blue Jays organization or we're damned to finish last.

Answer 10

The more you expect from the Phillies the more you will be disappointed.
The Phillies just don't have the killer instinct. loads of talent, yes, but the killer instinct, no.
