In fairness to the Phillies, how many other pro sports teams have been around as long as the Phillies, and play nearly as many games in a season as a major league baseball team does? The only real "competition" is from other old school baseball franchises.
As far the Yankees go, I think they are too far behind the Red Sox to catch them, and they are almost as far behind for the wild card. But if they run off a couple of big winning streaks, you never know. It only took a half a season for the Sox and the Indians to get that far ahead of them, why couldn't a team make that back up in a half a season?
