Note: Phillies are in First, Wright is still Confident
The Phillies defeated the Braves tonight, meaning the Phillies now lead the Mets by one win for first place in the NL East, though both teams are tied in the loss column.
David Wright, following tonight’s loss to the Nationals, said:
“This is what makes it fun…This is what you work hard for. This is what you prepare for…This is a bump in the road. It doesn’t matter what Philadelphia does. It only matters what the guys in this clubhouse do and we plan on getting the job done. Like I said, we’re gonna see what we’re made of. This is a little bump in the road, and I’m excited moving forward because I think we’ve got a room full of guys who will not allow us to fail.”
Jose Reyes, speaking to reporters, said:
“We’re still in a good position. We just have to start again…It’s not going to be easy. So, we just need to win.”
There are 12 games left in the 2008 season.
