Francoeur Sums Up Phillies Season In a Nutshell in One Play

The Phillies are having an atrocious season. There is no denying that. On Sunday, they became the first team in the MLB to reach 50 losses when they dropped game one of a doubleheader against the Nationals, 3-2.

In a play that pretty much summed up the Phillies' futility this season, Jeff Francoeur did this in the fifth (video after the jump):

In Francoeur's defense, he did drive in both of the Phillies' runs in the game, hitting a solo home run in the second and an RBI single in the sixth.

So, Good Francoeur and Bad Francoeur both showed up for game one of the doubleheader. Unfortunately, only the bad version of the rest of the team showed up on the Phillies' way to loss number 50.
