Close your eyes and remember a time when this team gave you goosebumps. If you’re a little older maybe it was 1980 or ’93. If you’re like me, it’s probably 2007-2011. I feel it again. The Phillies are fun to watch. They’re in first place once again in the east and have […]
By: Mike Chisdock I was at Aaron Nola’s major league debut in July of 2015 against the Rays. Like any Phillies ace before him, run support would be hard to find. He lost the game 1-0 by giving up a homerun to the opposing pitcher, some guy whose name I can’t even remember, but I […]
Okay, I’m absolutely all in with the Phillies. You know when you can’t think of a word and how frustrated you get when it’s on the tip of your tongue? Well winning is on the tip of the Phillies’ tongue. You can see it when they play, they’re almost there. The bats flash, the […]
One of the worst feelings in the world is that of being inferior. It makes you feel hopeless when you are the lesser opponent. For the Phillies and the sports fans in the city of Philadelphia, that’s what we were this week. The Yankees came in and beat our team while their fans came in […]
I know we’re busy arguing about whether the Phillies are actually good or if Gabe Kapler is a legitimate manager but we need to take some time to focus on the real pressing issue: I don’t want to laugh at someone else’s pain but that article literally made me laugh out loud. At first, I […]
Alright, the Phillies hung on to win yesterday, 10-9 over the Brewers. After taking 2 out of 3 in the series, the Phillies now sit at 37-32 on the year. Now, let’s stop pretending we care and get to the real eye grabbing highlight from yesterday’s affair: This blog post is not to make fun […]
By: Vince Scian & Aidan Powers If you remember, Chase Utley slid a bitttt hard into second base during the 2015 MLB Playoffs, breaking the leg of Mets second baseman Reuben Tejada. Some say it was dirty. Others say it was a good, hard slide of a gritty player (this is the correct take). Either […]
Before I get my engine going, I’ll quickly explain what you’re about to experience. I’m going to start doing this as sort of a “column” whenever I have to rant about the stupid shit our beloved teams do. Please feel free to comment with your emotions as well because it’s important we let it all […]
Another Brewers series, another series of watching a decaying Ryan Braun rout the Phils. In game one he hit 2 bombs, quickly adding to his impressive career numbers against the Phils. These numbers are absolutely absurd. 69 games .381/.423 24 homeruns 69 RBI These numbers are significantly better than his overall […]
As Philadelphians, we have seen many coaches come and go. Some have brought odd techniques that were supposed to redefine how the game was played(*shoots middle finger in Chip Kelly’s direction*). Others were scrutinized early for being player coaches that eventually found success. Then there is Gabe Kapler. Gabe was advertised as an even […]
