The
Phillies went 2-4 this week. They lost 2 of 3 to the
New York Mets and then lost 2 of 3 to the
Pittsburgh Pirates. They finished the season 71-91, which was 2 games below the BNN Preseason Prediction. After the injury to
Lance Parrish, I needed to bring up a catcher. With none on the 40 man roster, I had to add
Brian Harper to the that roster and bring him.
