One down with 11 to go

If the Phillies overtake the Trolley Dodgers for the wild card, I will never ask for another present from Santa Claus ever again.

Games remaining: One against Chicago, three against Florida, one against Houston, three at Washington, three at Florida.

I think they have to win two of three in each series, as well as both singleton games, to assure winning the spot. That'd be an 8-3 finish for a 86-76 record, and a hope that the Dodgers do no better than 7-4.

Ugh. But hey, I'm having fun.
