No doubt the Phils were monsters 2008-2011. Unfortunately, we really sold the farm to put together those teams in the 2009-2011 seasons. Ironically, it was only the more organic 2008 team that managed to win the World Series. That was before we ditched Pat Burrell and picked up Ibanez; before we acquired Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee. Anyway, the whole team is aging and our farm system is pretty thin so I don't expect great things in the next couple years, but who knows.
