Phillies now officially 'Marlins' bad

The Miami Marlins knew, heading into this season, that they were probably going to finish last. Regardless of every other team's paltry goals, they could tell themselves, hey, at least we're not the Marlins.

The Phillies, losers of 21 of their last 25 (playing the Dodgers tonight, winners of 42 of their last 50), are finally starting to scratch that elusive threshold of "Not just bad... Marlins bad."

#Phillies have now fallen behind #Marlins for 2nd-worst run differential in MLB (-105). Last time they finished a season that low: 1997.

The Phillies have also not scored a run in their last 18 innings. Also Michael Martinez is leading off today.

Today's #Phillies lineup is the reason we can't have nice things.
