To much rest for the Phillies

The other article I read this weekend was called "To Much Rest for the Phillies?" It is talking about how to much rest might be bad. It says that rest can be good in increments, but to much at one time will get your head out of the game. In the article it talks about how in the past, teams that have gone a week or almost a week before the World Series have gotten absolutely dominated. It happened last year to the Rockies when they had an eight-day resting period while the Redsox beat the Indians in game seven. Boston went into the World Series and swept the Rockies. It also happened to the Detroit Tigers in the 2005-2006 season. They had a seven-day resting period, and then lost in five games. This article goes to show you that rest can be good, but too much of it can be bad.
