Phillies’ bats on fire

The toughest thing about the cross-country aspects of games like Sunday night’s 11-0 trouncing of the Los Angeles Dodgers by the Philadelphia Phillies isn’t just the long-distance travel, it’s the travel from the palm trees and balmy breezes of the West Coast to the deep freeze of the East.
