The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Texas Rangers 11-4 on Wednesday night to give them the best 50-game start in baseball since the Seattle Mariners in 2001.
\"What\'d they do?\" manager Rob Thomson asked when he was told about Philadelphia\'s feat.
Thomson asked the rhetorical question because he knew exactly the fate of those Mariners who started 38-12 and went on to tie an MLB record with 116 wins.
The Mariners failed to win the World Series.
\"That\'s right,\" Thomson said. \"So you\'ve got to keep going. You\'ve got to keep grinding, keep pushing all the way through.\"
