If you had told me that five weeks into the season the Philadelphia Phillies would have a better record than the New York Yankees, I would have recommended you seek psychiatric help. If your prediction had come true, I’d be telling everyone who’d listen (and even those that wouldn’t) about how the perennially underachieving Phillies were finally going to meet their lofty expectations.
Somehow, the Phillies do have a better record than the Yankees…yet I remain silent.
