Now that it’s official that Phillies superstar Bryce Harper is going to miss a good chunk of time, President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski has some decisions to make. Do the Phillies, who are currently 1.5 games out of a playoff spot, trust what they have on the roster now and wait for Harper to […]
I’m not going to sugarcoat this. I will not try to convince anyone of anything good. If you came here looking for any sort of hope for the Phillies this summer, you’ve come to the wrong place. On today, June 26, with the Phillies three games above .500 and 2.5 games back of the last […]
The Phillies have lost heartbreakers before, hell they’ve even done it this year. Who could forget the absolute meltdown by the Phils in the ninth inning of a 7-1 lead against the Mets? While Tuesday night may not have been as bad as that, it was still an absolute catastrophe. One thing we’ve learned […]
Right now, I feel exactly like Patrick Star in that scene from Spongebob where he returns home to his rock and doesn’t know any of the people in his house. When it comes to the Phillies of the past week, I don’t know who any of these people are. 5 straight wins?! 9th inning […]
Tuesday night’s win was one of the most non-Phillies, Phillies win my eyes have ever seen. That’s truly saying a lot given I said the exact same thing just three days ago about Sunday’s win. The sudden turn around of the Phils and the recent wave of doing the exact opposite of what they […]
When the Phillies signed Bryce Harper to a mega 13-year, $330 million contract in March of 2019, they expected him to step up in the clutch moments like he did on Sunday afternoon. When the Phillies drafted Bryson Stott, they will say that they eventually expected the same thing from Stott that they did from […]
An absolute bombshell was dropped in the Philly sports world while I was at the gym this morning (I workout sometimes). Joe Girardi is out as Phillies manager. Rob Thomson interim — Jim Salisbury (@JSalisburyNBCS) June 3, 2022 After writing a mere three days ago about the pros and cons of firing Joe […]
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 […]
Here is my pitch for a city-wide slogan regarding the Philadelphia sports teams: Philly sports, where the hope is plentiful, but the pain and suffering is endless. That’s the kind of Tuesday it was in the Delaware Valley. The day had every bit of predictable frustration you could possibly imagine. The Phillies played way […]
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, […]
