April Losses Don't Bring Pennants

"I think you can lose pennants in April," said O'Dowd. "I don't think you can win them, but you can definitely lose them. Go back historically and look at teams that got nine games back in April and still [finished first]. You won't find many."

 

Yep, just ask the Phillies of the past few years. And by the way, congrats to the Phightin’s for finishing April with a winning record…for a change.
