Grading the Phillies Moves At The Trade Deadline


Dave Dombrowski was asleep for about a week, up until approximately 3:30 on Tuesday afternoon. As the rest of the baseball world was reacting to the shockwaves of the Nationals being a poverty organization, rest assured Dombrowski wasn’t missing his daily cat nap.   Then, out of seemingly nowhere, the Phillies made two trades in […]

Will the Phillies Finally Sustain Any Sort of Momentum?


Philadelphia sports are the real life embodiment of Michael Corleone from The Godfather: Part III, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.” The Eagles have resembled that quote pretty much every year since 2017, the Sixers have been that way since they decided to start trying to win basketball games, […]
