For The Second Straight Year...

| Closer for the Phillies, Johnathan Papelbon. |
...the Philadelphia Phillies phailed to make the Playoffs or play well enough to post a record above .500. In 2012, they finished right at the mark going 81-81. This year they finished with a 73-89 record, good for 7th worst in the majors. Sunday September 29th, marked the last game for the Phillies, which they lost... sort of. On the field they did lose the game, off the field the organization got a small victory that day for the team's poor play over the last week over the season. That victory: drafting 7th overall in next year's draft. That player will not be playing in the MLB next year, and maybe not even the year after that, but the future will improve.
