THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES……WHO DID NOT DIE

This team will just always find the absolute weirdest fucking way to win.

Mario Kart 64, NHL '99, and probably Super Smash Bros. I had a ton of fun watching others play Ocarina of Time but I didn't have the patience to play it myself.

I have defended Dombrowski for so long but HOW do you let your team get to the postseason with this sort of pitching and depth problems?

Don Mattingly is a bad manager and makes bad decisions and it’s weird that teams keep hiring him.

The moment when an HBO Sunday night show crosses the threshold from "watch the week it airs" to "watch it on Sunday night when it drops" is such a fun time. Lanterns is just great.

An older man called into Sonny Hill & compared the Phillies to the movie “Titanic” bc “at first they’re young & dancing & drinking having fun & having sex but then in ends in horror and tragedy.” I’m gonna need someone to hire this man as an analyst.

So the best-case scenario today is that rain significantly delays the start of the game and the Dbacks lose fast, right? Then they can just cancel game 162 and Wheeler starts game one? (I'd like to be clear that in this scenario I think this lifeless bunch of stiffs still gets dogwalked in Atlanta)

In a game the Phillies won 3-0 and their starting pitcher threw 7 shutout innings, Don Mattingly used three relievers and warmed up two others that never came in

I swear any of the national idiots who mention Mattingly in the Manager of the Year conversation should have their eyeballs stapled open and be forced to watch the last few innings of this game on loop

If only the manager allowed him to come in after warming up instead of also warming up and using the guy who’s been on fumes for weeks who then got hurt

"Not just an American Dream, Also an Irish Dream, A European Dream, An African Dream, Israeli Dream, And also...a Palestinian Dream! In the name of love..." A short, loud Irishman spoke and sang those words in front of the Lincoln Memorial 17 years ago.

Initially I was frustrated with the rise of self-checkout but I appreciated how stores passed the savings on to me rather than pocket the money, fire armies of workers & make me do a job I suck at. It’s also why I’m optimistic about AI! I have been kicked in the head by several horses.

The Cardinals, in response to home-plate umpire Doug Eddings telling rookie Hancel Rincon to fix his hat last night, all wore tipped caps in their dugout tonight. The Rockies did, as well, after Eddings claimed Hunter Goodman asked for Rincon to fix his hat, something Goodman strongly denied.

All things considered I don't HATE being a linguistic Delawarian. It's close enough to Philly, and since I developed language skills before moving to God's Country it makes sense that I don't match it perfectly.

I think it's bad that the Democrats' House leader is having secret chummy meetings with a guy doing a domestic ethnic cleansing operation and funding a genocide abroad, then spending his entire week going on cable news to complain about a lefty Twitch streamer who nobody knows. Sorry for offending.
