The Phillies are 34-14, tied with the 1993 and 1976 teams for the best start in the franchise’s 142-season history. Yes, they have played a soft schedule (only three of 48 games have been against teams above .500), but it’s the only schedule they’ve got. And they haven’t only beaten up the bad teams (sounds familiar). They’ve annihilated them, with a plus-80 run differential that tops all but the Dodgers (plus-85). I'm enjoying the ride, for now. Phils or the Cowboys have to win a championship. Somehow, I think the Phillies have a better shot than the 'Boys!
