As we head into the final few weeks of the season, the Phillies remain red hot. They are hitting the ball, getting good pitching, and they are winning games while the Braves continue to lose. After completing the sweep against the Marlins, the Phils currently have a 3 game lead over the Atlanta Braves, who seem to be folding under the pressure of the division race. It was so important for the Phils to sweep the Marlins and finish the road trip strong because now they have a crucial home stand where they will face the Nationals, Braves, and Mets. With just 15 games remaining, the Phils can finally see the finish line. After a frustrating and inconsistent season, the Phils have really put it together during the month of September, and have put themselves in a very good position to not only make the playoffs, but also go deep into October. Roy Oswalt will get the start tomorrow night in the first game of a very important stretch of games. Now is the time for the Phillies to really put some pressure on the Braves, and increase their lead in the N.L. East race. The Phillies have battled hard all season, and now they need to buckle down and get ready for another exciting October.
