Should I Be This Relaxed?

I hope the Phillies don't blow the division lead over the next 5 games. If they do, I can only blame myself. I sent the following text message to my buddy Dan today:

"So, we're going to win the division. How about that? I
have tix for Friday so I hope they clinch it then."

Followed by this:

"Now that I said that they will lose 5 straight and the
Mets and Milwaukee will pass them."

Dan's Response:

"Yea, if that happens, I'm gonna have to forward these
text messages to W.I.P."

Nothing like throwing me to the wolves.

On a serious note though, something seems extremely weird about the way the last two weeks of the season have played out so far. Here's a brief rundown of the questions racing through my head:

Aren't we usually the team chasing?

How did we end up out front?

And why aren't we clinging on for dear life?

We actually have a magic number?

Quality starting pitching?

Timely hitting...from Pedro Feliz?!!?!?!?

You mean we may have to watch the final regular season game this Sunday with sweaty palms and a knot in our stomachs?

This is craziness. My head is spinning. I need a drink.
