Phillies come up big
Friday, April 4, 2008
Down by 5-0 after an embarrassing first inning, and facing a season-opening sweep in their home ballpark, the Phillies did something remarkable yesterday. They created a desperate situation for themselves and then, without their usual weapons, chipped and chipped and chipped away until they had escaped.
There aren't any must-win baseball games in April. This wasn't going to make or break the Phillies' chances of repeating as National League East champions. But it was still the difference between being 1-2 and 0-3, between thoroughly dousing their fans' enthusiasm and giving the crowd something to cling to.
