The 2007 season
Month by month, the streaks, and the record in the games that are argued about.
They finished first in the NL East, 1 game clear. They spent 5 of 183 days in first place, led by as many as 1 game on September 28 and were as far as 8.5 games back on May 31. Their best month was Sept/Oct at 17-11, their worst March/April at 11-14. The longest runs were a 6-game winning streak from August 26 to August 31 and a 4-game losing streak from May 28 to June 1. They were 47-34 at home and 42-39 on the road, 14-23 in one-run games and 43-42 against clubs that finished .500 or better. The most lopsided win was 15-3 at the Dodgers on July 17; the heaviest defeat, 13-0 against the Giants on June 1.

The players whose season belongs to this club, by position and then by dbWAR. A player traded mid-season is listed with the club he played most of his games for, so a deadline arrival may appear on his other club’s page instead.
Each rectangle is a player, sized by his share of the team's hits; darker means a larger share. Top 30 contributors. Select a different statistic above, or click a player for his page.
Day and night divide the home schedule, and so do weekend and weekday. The road line is a different question.

Announced gate — tickets distributed, which is the figure every reference publishes and is not the same as people through the turnstile. A game the feed reports no gate for is left out rather than counted as empty. Seasons before attendance was carried into the lake are absent from the trend rather than shown as zero.

By season
Regulation games only, in minutes. 178 minutes this season.
Elapsed time from first pitch to final out. The feed does not itemise delays, so a rain delay is inside these numbers with no way to subtract it. Games called early are excluded — five innings in ninety-three minutes is not a short game — but they still count in attendance, because the crowd turned up.
Record versus run differential
Philadelphia Phillies are 89-73, a .549 win rate, while their +71 run differential implies .538. That is essentially in line — the record reflects the run scoring.
