After what seems like an eternity, the Phillies are finally facing a team that's not the Mets. Thank God.
Of course now they're facing another NL East team, the Washington Nationals. With this series, the Phillies could inch closer to fourth place, a position the Nats now inhabit. Or they could create a much larger gap between them and the Nationals and set up long term residence in fifth place.
It's the beginning of the series. A blank slate. Anything could happen!
