This incredible concert tonight took away the sting of Phillies suckitude

The half you don’t know won’t be here long

Matt Damon playing a 14th century French knight that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mullet. Beard. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and cigarette smoke.

Matt Damon while playing Odysseus who also looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Long, skinny beard. Smells like horseshit, pine tar, and perhaps Mediterranean herbs.

Matt Damon playing a 19th century cowboy that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mustache. Shaggy hair. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and definitely chewing tobacco.

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

Bump

At some point it’s not going to matter if the luck starts going the Phillies’ way

They literally have nothing to lose by challenging

Deep sigh

This Phillies game feels inevitable. And they desperately needed/need some to give them 7 innings

I literally cannot envision this Phillies team scoring

Let’s get some hits now Phillies and maybe if you string some together you’ll get that other thing I forget the word for

NFL will absolutely PPD regardless of crowd reax.

Paying them $10 billion or more as a bribe to reopen the strait and coming to some sort of mealy-mouthed statement about how Iran will keep its uranium but not further enrich it is probably best-case scenario. Multiple Middle East countries will hate that.

Once things get sorted a little, I wouldn't mind having the flexibility of both Kemp & Reyes on the bench, and no Moore. They can't afford a no-hit glove guy

It's the least bad for this summer and probably the rest of this year, but an Iran that's stronger and more confident than it was in January is just a powder keg that didn't need to be created. And I don't know how that eventually gets resolved.

I was honestly hoping they'd just give 3B to Moore today. Either he does something, or you start thinking harder about succession at that spot, too.

Obviously don't want escalation, but every time Trump backs off a line in the sand, he strengthens Iran's hand and confidence. At some point Trump with either need to walk away the loser, or .... gulp.
So in that isolated respect, little long-term good comes of the TACO maneuver.

Not overselling: This is fucking incredible

I think we're going to have one wild card from each of the three divisions. So the "ask" here is for the Phillies to finish second in the NL East to make the playoffs. I think that's very doable.

‘The Third Reich of Dreams’ Review: Nightmare of History As the Nazi regime took hold in Germany, a Jewish journalist in Berlin collected accounts of the dream lives of others—and smuggled them out of the country.

Has anyone been trying to collect accounts of dreams under Trump 2.0?

LMAO

Nope. It was an actual Black Swan event that the Phillies landed Harper. Pure alignment of the stars (with a sprinkle of Yankee stupidity).

If they get a little more depth/health in SP they're the only team I see scaring the Dodgers in October. Braves look good too, though, hats off. I think their pitching will eventually return to reality, but who knows!

Cursed would be losing games in weird ways.
Right now, it's just a huge percentage of the roster playing terrible baseball.

True. And they have Smith on a ridiculous lowball deal he signed through 2033.

Freddie Freeman's deal is up after 2027 and I wonder if Bryce has daydreamed about a trade that would have him become the Dodgers' first baseman starting in 2028, for the last 4 years of his contract.

If it's crossed my mind, it's crossed other minds.

We're nearing defibrillator time for the Phillies.

Starting to wonder who the Phillies' best-hitting pitchers are.

Marchan DFA, Stubbs up
Moore DFA, Kemp up
Bohm IL, De La Cruz up
Kemp's gonna have to play some 3B
