text: what do you think about the philadelphia phillies now? does anybody else think they're the hottest and on of the most surprising teams in baseball right now? several other answerers said they "would stuggle around .500, between 3rd or 4th place" or "gordon is not a true closer". (gordon is currently tied for 1st place in saves with 13 and 1.53 era.)the phillies have also won their past 5 series after losing their 4 out of 8. the mets may have spent, spent, spent but as of may 14 after day games, the phightin phils are only 1 game back. the under-.500 braves look like their streak of division wins (and playoff trips) will end soon.  what do other phillie and non-phillie phans think, though? honestly i think right now they are the hottest team but they have a tendency to do the same thing every year then fade dowqn the stretch.  i hope it doesnt happen this year but i think it will.  also i think the mets are over rated.  every year the braves start off bad and every one writes them off and then they end up blowing up in the second half and win it by like 15 games.  so until it doesnt happen i still think they are the team to beat.  i do think the braves are going to have a tougher time with out mazzone as their pitching coach.
