Unless the Phillies make the playoffs, it’s the Eagle’s time to own the sports landscape in Philadelphia. And they won’t give it back until January (hopefully February).

If there is one thing that Disney knows, besides animation, it’s the inspirational sports movie. My library is littered with them; some fictional but most based on true stories.

So, once again, the Phillies continue to play tug of war with our emotions. Whenever we think they’re done and finished, they go on a little tear. And whenever we think they are on easy street toward their first playoff birth since 1993, they lose a few games, having all of their weaknesses exposed in the process.
