Slimmin' Phillies
Both Brett Myers and Ryan Howard lost weight over the off season. There seems to be no resting on their laurels for the Phillies this year.
The last eight World Champions failed to defend their title. That's starting to approach the longest streaks. From 1979 to 1992 no team successfully defended a title, 14 seasons. There was a ten year streak from 1963 to 1972, an eight year streak from 1954 to 1961 (it only seemed like the Yankees won every year) and a ten year streak from 1940 to 1949. If the Phillies fail to repeat this season, we'll be tied for the third longest streak since the modern World Series was instituted in 1903.
