That's when everyone will take notice. Seven of the nine teams the Phillies have played this season have winning records. And one of those losing teams is the Braves. The Phillies gave Greg Maddux and Curt Schilling their first losses. That fact is as big a trend-breaker as anything the Phillies have done this season.
Person remembers how it used to be.
I used to even feel cocky against the Phillies. Person vividly remembers the stretch in September 1999 when the Phillies went 3-22. Seventeen of the losses came against teams with winning records, four of them playoff teams. Now we're going in and winning the series. So a win like the one Friday night against Curt Schilling isn't just beating an ex-teammate.
