    Went to cancel my Athletic subscription after the recent layoffs and trend towards less local writers....but then they offered 1 year for 24 bucks. lol. Tough to pass up $2 a month for one more go round....

    Losing Hoffman on Sixers coverage really really sucks though. He's great. 
    Yeah and sucks that it was a small amount of layoffs and he was one of them. Blows, hopefully he links up with Bodner.

    Was hoping Miami and Atlanta would start losing but as long as we are winning that's all that matters. Keep it up!

    Been dealing with a guy at work with the last name of Metts today. Calling him "Mr. Metts" over and over again has been the highlight of my Monday thus far. Each time it's been a battle not to completely bust out laughing my ass off.

    I am fascinated by this. And I am certain we will continue to hear all about this during Shapiro's run for the presidency in 4 years. I know there's a lot of people involved, but his leadership has been great here. Imagine depending on Mastriano's help?

    I wonder if that dude would have even showed up in Philadelphia.

    Back on that material. You have to wonder what else we can do with it. Can we rescue cities that are getting swallowed by the sea? Really interesting.

    I mean I don't think it's recent (from end of January), but just a not-so-thinly-veiled viewpoint from ol' Doug re: whether he would've showed up.

    It would've been the city's fault that a truck driver lost control of his fuel tanker. Doug is truly one of the planet's worst people.

    He would somehow use this as a way to punish the city for being a sanctuary city or something. Thank god he's not running for senate.

    Is this car on 95 to do donuts?

    Edit: apparently the truck is a NASCAR road dryer jawn. Still not sure why the car is there.

    Really cannot make my feelings for Tom McCarthy known enough. My god, I'm working and I hear his inflection and volume RISE. Of course it's because the Braves scored.

    Well that was a frustrating game to watch especially the 10th. Schwarber should have been charged with an error. Least we don't have to play the Braves for awhile now and we are still in the wild card race :neutral:

    People bash Kate Scott all the time (who's really not that bad), yet now have no problems with this absolute hack. I don't get it. He remains as awful as he was 15 years ago.

    WAIT A MINUTE. Have you actually warmed up to Kate? I think I would have considered you in the pro-bashing column not that long ago. Granted I think this was last year when she started, or whenever that was now.

    Kate Scott rules. Her f-bomb machinegunning on the Ricky live show was hilarious.

    I honestly have had very few local announcers that I haven't liked. Basically Wheeler & McCarthy.

    Yeah I've warmed up a little...however my warming up seems amplified to me because of the outright vocal hatred she gets from a lot of people. I don't find her to be a great announcer or anything. She's just okay. But she's not nearly as bad as so many people make her out to be. 

    Wheeler was a lot better than McCarthy in my view. But this is because he was paired with HK for so long. Part of my hatred for McCarthy is just that the Phils automatically gave him the full 9 innings right from jump while they always made Harry move to the radio booth for the middle innings.
