As much as I would love to be playing the Mets in the LCS....this is much better to watch. Sometimes I don't know if I want the Phillies to win or Mets lose more.

Watching that power hour video and the first 5 minutes the Padres upped their lead to 7-0. Obviously needs to be updated with the 2017 Eagles and some Embiid. Also should have shoutouts to all the Big 5. Still so awesome.

....like your 3 team national champs from the Main Line, Johnny? Hey oh!


Yeah watching the Mets get crushed was great. The expressions on the fans faces mean everything to me.

He actually did an updated one but not as good as the OG:

Clutch pitching by Dominguez!

3 more outs to go 😀

Johnny Abruzzo

Yeah Nova would have extra time for sure. It is what it is.

Fuck the Cards.  Fuck Yadi.  (Big time)

This.  Yea baby.  Awesome by Wheeler and Nola,  bring it the Braves 

eeriepadave

Beating the Braves will be difficult, but they have a shot (I think they were about .500 against them). 

Is this a 5 game series?

Jearlpam0925

I'd rather play the Dodgers. Feels like the Mets and Braves have just owned us this season, at least in the 2nd half for sure.

BUT, yes, 5 game series, so anything can happen. You get Wheeler for Game 2 on regular rest and Nola in game 3 on extended rest. I mean I would love to take both in Atlanta, but hoping to pick off just one and bring it back here. FINALLY, at least one home playoff game. 

pjhawks

Playing playoff baseball games at 1:00 on Tuesday afternoon is fucking stupid.  Do they really think they are getting better ratings by having games start on a non-Friday at that time to keep from having games go against each other?  

Go Phil’s

They suck at hitting so they have the umpire feeling up the pitcher's ears. What a pathetic franchise. The Mets and my highly overused gif.



Go Phils! Happy Columbus/Indigenous People Day and screw you tomahawk chop.

Yeah that fucking annoyed me when showalter did that. I’m so glad that musgrove and the Pads shut them up.

Two-year extention for Thomson. Good move.

I told you guys in May firing Girardi wouldn't make any difference. So, I'm a really smart guy. Make sure you listen to all my advice!

I still believe they would have done the same had he stayed. Not that I'm a big Girardi guy. I thought he was overrated when he was with the Yankees. But he wasn't bad

Don't be so hard on yourself. Like all sports, the players play the game not the coaches. I think it was a move that had to happened but I don't believe it's the reason they played well. I do like Thomson, though, if for no other reason than he's Canadian and is completely milquetoast. I want my baseball managers to not be the attention or center of anything going on in the game.

I took a shot at outlining an update to that Power Hour video. Not that I know how to make those videos or have anywhere near that amount of time.

ATLANTA — Well before the Phillies christened Rob Thomson as their permanent manager with a two-year contract and a formal news conference Monday, less than 24 hours before the start of the National League Division Series, Bryson Stott had a question. This was even before Thomson became the interim manager. It was spring training. Thomson was the bench coach, the man tasked with all of the logistics of the team’s exhibition games.

Stott had three hits one afternoon. A bunch of the starters were told to exit the game. The rookie thought he heard Thomson say something to him.

“So,” Stott said, “I go up and ask him, ‘Hey, Tomper. Am I still in the game?’”

Thomson looked at the infielder with a serious stare.

“You’re in the game,” he said, “until I f—ing tell you’re in the game.”

Stott panicked. “Oh my gosh,” he said to himself. “I just messed up.” He didn’t know what to do. Two minutes later, the inning was still going, and Stott returned to Thomson.

“Were you being serious?” he asked.

Thomson couldn’t maintain the bit any longer.

“He just starts dying laughing,” Stott said. “He was just trying to mess with me. He says this stuff with the most serious face, but he’s actually really funny. He is hilarious. His one-liners are pretty good.”

Bummer they pulled all of these from existence. I miss the one where the Phanatic takes a shotgun to Mr Met then does a dance.

If Girardi was still here Didi would still be playing shortstop, Bohm would be mentally f'd up and the young guys would be buried still. Thomson has gotten the most out of the young guys because he trusted them and they responded.  No way they make the playoffs if Girardi was still here.

nova is not a city team, fuck them and keep them out just because i hate them.  if you must insist on the nova fuckers being in there have to include Scottie Reynold's mad dash buzzer beater to get them to the Final 4 and maybe a line of coke for Gary McLain (sorry had to).  kobe wasn't a city guy, keep him out.   if you are going back as far as the Penn 1979 team have to include the Hawks upsetting #1 DePaul in the 1981 NCAA Tourney.  and Mascots you have to include the greatest college mascot The Hawk.

Yeah a StJ guy would be better at figuring out what highlights would be in this "will never exist" video but the whole point is to have the entire Big 5 represented as we are the only city with anything like it and why would you get so upset about this? I saw a video with two It's Always Sunny clips and a friggin' Manute Bol clip and thought maybe it could be improved. Jeez.

Also I'd add about a minute of random Harry & Whitey clips.

haha not upset just having fun.  i'd prefer not to acknowledge nova if I didn't have to.  my hate for them keeps me from being rational about them.  i'm working on my hatred but just can't bring myself to change. doesn't help that the one nova guy here acts like a typical nova fan either. it's all in fun though.
