This is all I ever update about, but whatever.
Miraculously, the Phillies have climbed within 2.5 games of the Wild Card. When they traded Bobby and Lidle, I thought they were done. The hitting has been amazing. They're averaging nine runs a game in their past 10 games, or something like that. Chase's hitting streak has now hit 35 games, and their young pitching, Hamels especially, has improved significantly. I'm a little wary about it though, because they really don't deserve to be in the hunt at this point.
