    3 game losing streaks suck but when you log onto twitter it's as if the sky is falling, again. 2nd best record over last 3 months or something. They'll right the ship. Go Phils. 
    I just hate how this offense disappears at random. They don't have any safety valve for when the ball stops going out of the ballpark. I am absolutely sure they really miss Brandon Marsh as well.

    The pitching's there, basically everyone in the lineup is underperforming. I take that as, of course, a bad thing and a good thing. No better time to get hot than in September. Tread water and hold onto that #1 WC spot. Their "weak" schedule the rest of the way is a little misleading, though that's mainly due to having 7 games left against Atlanta. But for sure some bad teams in there to beat up on. Can't wait for this SF series, going to 2 of the 3 games.

    Yeah this Giants series will be a lot of fun. I think they win tonight and take 2 of 3 from the stupid Nats leading up to it...

    Cubs and Reds are the sneaky teams in this WC hunt imo, especially the Cubs. They both have better/easier schedules the rest of the way, and I think the Marlins have been playing over their heads & will choke.

    33 years ago yesterday. Remember watching it in my bedroom as a young buck.  THESE jerseys (specifically this version with the stitches in the "P" and the Independence Hall logo on the sleeve) should replace the powder blues. I actually saw someone rocking a Von Hayes one of these last week--I'd totally rock that if I can find it somewhere


    Wish this wasn't the Giants broadcast though:

    That should've been a perfecto - Charlie Hayes error, and erased by a double play.

    First for me, too.

    That's funny - when I went out to SF in June the dude I was sitting next to at the Giants game was like, "I like Philly. I was out there in the 90s and actually saw a no-hitter against the Giants." I responded, "Oh yeah? You were at Mulholland's no-hitter? Awesome." Guy ended up telling me he played/pitched against both Bonds and Randy Johnson in high school, which I thought was very cool.

    Last night was hitting night fortunately. That would make tonight… not hitting night?

    The Schwarber homer was a bomb and it was cool and all....but is it too much to ask of your leadoff hitter to get the average up to the god damn mendoza line at some point?

    Honestly, I'm more bothered right now that Stott keeps hitting in the bottom 1/3 of the lineup.

    I think the lineup needs to look this way as we get closer to September:

    1. Turner
    2. Stott
    3. Harper
    4. Nick
    5. Schwarber
    6. Bohm
    7. JT
    8/9: Marsh/Rojas/Cave/Sosa

    And I really don't know how Dylan Covey keeps getting work.

    Yeah I feel like it's safe to get Trea back in the leadoff spot he was signed for. Stott is probably the best hitter right now and that's the guy who is supposed to hit #2 in major league baseball. I think you're pretty close there JP.

    Can't believe someone(s) other than Covey were sent down to the minors. Dude is brutal. Phillies fans put that "nice guys" schtick way to the side for him.

    Still don't understand why Schwarber is our lead-off guy. That's like having Dave Kingman, Adam Dunn, Gorman Thomas, etc... as a lead-off player. Pearl-Jam-Smileys
