So the Phillies suck, granted. But I'm watching this game tonight and this kid his making his major league debut on the mound, and he's probably not ever gonna be very good and he got beat up pretty good (didn't make it out of the 3rd), but there's this...I dunno how to describe it, the way the team huddled around him when he got pulled, the way the younger guys play with piss and vinegar and seem to ignite some of the vets.
I know it's early in the season and once you get 15 games under .500 or whatever some of that energy dissipates, but even though the world knows they just aren't a good team, and I'm sure they realize they aren't a good team and they aren't winning anything this year, they still try their damnedest and really seem to care about putting out the maximum effort, and that's fun to watch.
