Cooperstown is patiently waiting for Dave Dombrowski.

Friday’s Philadelphia Phillies’ 8–0 win at Citizens Bank Park was the start of a two-game winning streak for the National League East club. At the end of the evening, after all MLB games were in the books, the Phillies were nipping at the heels of the division-leading New York Mets. Any club presided over by Dombrowski, especially well before the mid-season All-Star break, is anything but out of contention for the postseason.
