The Mets are in a free fall and unlike the Marlins and the Astros, they don’t seem to have a plan either.

How much can be blamed on Las Vegas?

That is a question asked on today’s Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Eric Stults, Gregor Blanco, Justin Masterson and Billy Butler all owned baseball on June 14, 2013.

Sunday, June.16, 2013

It took the Philles 77 years to win their first World Series in 1980, however since that time, they have been to 4 more World Series in 1983, 1993, 2008 and 2009 and took home the Trophy in 2008.  The Phillies have finished .500+ or better for every year since 2002.  However 2012 saw their streak of 5 straight NL East Division Titles come to an end.  Now that they have started slow at 33 - 36 - can they come back to make the playoffs and a have a shot at a World Series  in 2013?

Phillies 2013 Win-Loss Chart

I hate roller coasters. I really do. Can’t ride them and won’t miss them if they ever went away. Maybe it’s the lack of control or just too many movies I’ve seen where the ride goes straight through the railing when it’s supposed to turn. Either way, I’m happy to hold your purses, jackets, hats and any other items while sitting on a bench planted firmly on the ground. Go ahead and enjoy the ride while I take inventory of all the other manly things I can do in this world.

Enter the 2013 Philadelphia Phillies. Lately, I get that same, uneasy feeling watching our fightin’ Phils rise and fall as they bring us all from agony to ecstasy, mostly in streaky stretches leaving us to believe they’re anything from world-beaters to bottom-feeders. Yet, here I sit again, watching the ride go up and down day in, day out while I cling on to what the team leaves me to hold: hope.
