Trust me. I know the risk of writing a headline like that and the repercussions I will face on Twitter if the Phillies lay an egg in the month of May but at this point, I fully expect this team to handle business against bad baseball teams.  The month of May is shaping up to be a ‘cake walk’ for the Phillies, with only one team on the schedule that holds a winning record – the Texas Rangers at 17-15. Phillies Schedule in the Month of May: 4 Games – San Francisco Giants – Home 2 Games – Toronto Blue Jays – Home 4 Games – Miami Marlins – Road 4 Games – New York Mets – Road 3 Games – Washin ..read more

The Fightins are now 21-11 o ..read more
