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, […]
“I fucking hate this place.” After three errors a and a few sarcastic cheers later, Alec Bohm found himself disgruntled with his current situation as a Phillie.After he sparked an eight inning comeback and gave an emotional apology post-game, Bohm has never been more connected to Philly sports fans. You see, Alec Bohm isn’t the […]
Last week Bryce Harper posted on his Instagram a picture of himself photoshopped in a Yomiuri Giants uniform from Japan’s Nippon League.

Think about where you were on August 8, 2021. It was a beautiful summer day, the Phillies officially retired the number 34 in honor of the late great Roy Halladay. Zack Wheeler took the mound and honored Doc by throwing a complete game shutout against the Mets, his former team. It was the moment that […]
The Philadelphia Phillies are one game under .500 as I write this sentence here in mid-May. Chances are, the Phillies will hover around this mark all the way through the regular season’s conclusion in the first week of October. Since coming out of their “rebuild” in 2017, the Phillies have a record of 211-218 over […]
What a playoff level atmosphere on Sunday Night Baseball tonight with the Braves and the Phillies squaring off. Alec Bohm, who continues to be one of the most clutch humans alive, gets a lead off double in the top of the ninth. After Jean Segura got him to third, we had this chaotic tag […]
There’s no more optimistic time in sports than opening week of the baseball season. As the Phillies first take the field, March Madness is winding down and the weather gets warmer. And even if the Phillies have a bad night we can still watch the Flyers and the Soaring Sixers instead. And best of all […]
