The Phillies are 2.5 games out of first place in the East.

You read it right, Two and a Half games out of first.  Here are the up to the second NL East standings:

2005 National League East Standings
TEAMWLGBRSRA
Florida2823-228196
Atlanta2924-249203
NY Mets28261.5241225
Washington28261.5217235
Philadelphia27272.5250259

Who'd of thunk it?   Oh wait, some of us actually thought they'd be good this year.   I'm being cautiously optimistic, but if Thome can keep the fire burning and the pitching staff can keep pitching like this, there's no reason why the Phils can't leap frog the Mets and Nats.

I can't believe Florida is actually leading the league. Okay, with Atlanta, but I guess I can forgive that.

Sorry for interrupting.

Good and competitive division.  We could see a fun race going down the stretch.

Well, with so much season left to go and the closeness of the teams, who knows?   I'd love to see them move past the Braves....(old issues).

Boooo on the Braves.  I'd rather see the Mets win than the Braves (eek!)

I agree....my boys were hot today, we trounced SD   .385 now for Derek Lee, that man is having a great at bat lately.  I am so happy he is on our side...lol.

I never lost my faith in the Phillies... im a die hard.. i was second guessing some management... *cough* charlie manuel *cough*  but i still thought its early enough in the season that they could come back.. and woo they did ...

Re: Can you repeat that?
It's not even about losing faith, it's just about being frustrated when you know for a fact that the players can play better and they're flat out not.  Combine that with some early poor moves by the manager and they deserved all the boos they got.

People said I was nuts when I said the team was going to do well, but now they're playing like we knew they could.

Yeah but i heard alot of people bashing them also like radio personalities.. i mean they were 6.5 games back.. you can bounce back from 6.5 games like nothing... like they did...i mean why isnt anyone bashing colorado they 'are/were' 16.5 games back.. wouldnt you be saying more about them...not the tightest race in all of the NL.

They were on the spiral to being that far back, but they turned it around in the clubhouse.  You get to a point that when people are bashing you, you either sit there and take it, or you act like a pro on the field and get the job done.
