No Pressure

Just kidding...the local papers and the official site are talking about how important this six-game series (oops, make that Road Trip) is to the team.

The streaks go beyond Moyer's 10-game streak against the Marlins. Besides the 'day off' streak in the previous post, the Phillies are on a 5-game Tuesday win streak, while the Fish have lost 7 of their last 9 Tuesday games. The Phillies are 7-1 in their last 8 games. On the other side of the coin the Marlins have won every game that Josh Johnson started this year. And on August 5 games the Marlins have won 6 of their last 7, and 10 of their last 12.

After the next game the Fish will be either 1.5 games back or 3.5 games back. Start summoning the friendly spirits.
