The Flyers cllimbed back into the playoffs with a spirited win over Buffalo, tonight, while across the street, the Phillies were out slugging Colorado, 9-5; however, the Flyers had 19,984 in the Wachovia Center while the Phils drew only 19,182....

The Phillies crowds are sinking to Vet-like numbers. Futility seeks its own attendance level.

2nd place means nothing to a fan when the team is below .500

Yeah, but they won in regulation so this does not bode well.

I agree, but you must have missed my post on the other thread where I pointed out that the two times the Flyers have come back from an 0-2 hole they won games 3 and 4 in OT. :eyebrow:

The Phils are playing decent baseball right now. Gordon has been a pleasant surprise and Meyers is starting to look like a legit #1 starter. If the Phillies can get some consistency out of the rest of their staff, they have a chance to be competitive.

I saw it, but at this point, as a Canes fan myself, both of us will take a win, no matter how it comes

ofcourse, if you are superstitous, then u might need to worry nowxlolx xlolx

In '92, when Camden Yards opened, Bill Giles mentioned that he thought the Phils needed a new stadium to draw fans. A high-school dropout co-worker of mind had a better plan for drawing fans:
"Field a competitive team you jacka$$es!"

I meant this as a sort of tounge in cheek comment...other than the Mets...the Phils are the best of the mediocre in the NL East right now...there, of course, is a long way to go.
