Another Slow Start

Glad to see the Phillies are off to their typically torrid April start. Hopefully they’ll have at least one win and 4 runs scored by the time of Monday’s game when I go see them for the Nationals’ home opener.

 

My friend did some quickie research on the recent Awful Aprils of the last 6 seasons. The best start they have had is '03, when they went 15-12. Otherwise, 1 time in the last 5 seasons they were above .500 for the month of April. Here are the last 5 Aprils:

'04: 10-11
'05: 13-17
'06: 10-14
'07: 11-14*
'08: 15-13

* -- In April '07, they started 2-8 and, remember, Charlie almost lost his job.
