Don't think this team is a fluke. Since their slow start they have been playing as well as any team in the Majors. They fleeced teams left and right in trading for prospects. Houston still crying over Giles deal. Hamels has pitched well for Texas so they aren't complaining about the boatload they gave to the Phillies.
I'm a Phillies fan. Unfortunately I think you guys are dreaming. The team is still terrible. Their record after 25 games means next to nothing, just like every other team this early. Looks like they have a couple of decent young arms but still a below average rotation. They have a dreadful lineup. They have a unproven bullpen which will most likely be sub-par. It would take a miracle for them to finish .500 this year.
The good start is fun though, at least you can dream.. But they have about the same chance as the Sixers did two years ago. You know when they started 3-1, beat the Heat and Lebron, MCW looked like a future superstar, everyone sudddenly thought they had a shot until reality set in.

I said many many times before the season started that the reds would be a complete disaster, including when they started off hot. In no way it is a jab at me to say they suck.
I also said this Phillies team playing well early was nothing but a fassad and that's why I made the comment on their losing streak.
Most everybody knows they have some ways to go but they have some good young talent and plenty of young talent still to come up from the minors.
I mean, they swept the Cubs at Wrigley last year and they were the worst team in baseball. But reasons to be encouraged if you're a phillies fan.
