"You say to yourself, in a way, hey, we lost two out of three, but you know, we might have took three out of three from them and I think that's the confidence that this team has, and where we're at. We know we can play with people. We are confident in ourselves."
Sure, this team was hot in May, but they have fallen off since the sweep of the Braves. The Phils seem to have grown very complacent from their hot month of May.
Paul Hagen phrased it correctly in his column today. The Phils haven't won anything yet and if they want to make it for the 2nd straigh season, they better get things going. Losing 2 out 3 aint going to cut going foward. They're going to need to start picking up their game....soon.

I read it as a confidence thing. Not a cocky thing. Chill out, they're 10 games over .500 in mid June.

Not a single starter is hitting .300, the MVP missed 24 games, the prior MVP has sucked, the #1 starter is 3-8. Some would say we're fortunate to be where we are.
Now, we can't discount the positives, like the bullpen, bench, and health of the rotation.
There's a long way to go and probably a trade or two in the making, but I certainly believe we'll be on top of the EAST when its over.
Ryan Howard will hit, Utley is a .315 hitter, Rollins is a clutch player, etc etc.
One last one, I like Shane on this squad and hitting in the 2 hole. He runs everything down in CF, gets on base too. He can grow up to be a poor man's Johnny Damon.
i'm panicked.
