The Phillies have had to play through a lot of injuries this year and I give them credit for grinding it out the way they have.

If you wanted to cripple the Phillies playoff chances and could only remove one player from their roster to do so, it would seem the dart hit the bullseye. First Utley and now Cole. The baseball gods really hate the Phillies and they've been consistent in that regard since the club's inception.
