Larry Bowa and Charlie Manuel know a thing or two about the importance of having momentum going into the postseason.
Entering the middle innings on a postcard-perfect afternoon, the Mets had just grabbed an early lead over the Phillies. This did not sit well with two baseball lifers who were sitting in the back of the press box at Citizens Bank Park.
Still, the issue of finishing strong is one the Phillies will grapple with in the final two weeks of the regular season. That, of course, is the difference. When Bowa and Manuel were managing, having the two best records among the three division winners didn’t result in a bye in the wild card round. That only strengthened their conviction that pedal-to-the-medal is the way to go under the current playoff structure.
