SAN DIEGO - Maybe this West Coast trip was a wake-up call for the Phillies.
They left Philadelphia last Sunday with a two-game lead over the New York Mets in the National League East. The Phillies entered last night's series finale against the San Diego Padres 21/2 games behind the Mets, needing a victory to avoid their first 1-6 road trip since May 2002.
They have 38 games to play.

What's this about a broken lamp and pizza stain on the wall?
