This Phillies team has been more disappointing than a rainy day at the beach. The 2022 Phillies have been downright embarrassing. Whether it be their dumbfounding defensive miscues, inopportune cold streaks at the plate, or the bullpen serving up their best batch of an Italian grandmother’s meatballs in big situations, this squad has been intolerably […]

This MLB season will go down in history as the shortest of all time. The 2019 season has lasted exactly one day and the Phillies finished with a perfect record and have been crowned World Series champions. What a ride it was, my friends. The ups of a McCutchen leadoff home run, Maikel with a […]
