3 games back after a horrible loss tonight. 

That was painful 

Hopefully that 3-game series at the end of September is actually meaningful.

Gonna come down to the last couple weeks. 

very frustrating past few weeks.  Hopefully starts getting better tonight.

They won this afternoon 

oh didn't know they played in the afternoon, well least they won.

Haha
I feel like you’re thrown off by these afternoon games frequently 

well i'm usually at work during the weekdays so that doesn't help.

Semi-related to the Phils: Here to announce another endorsement for "cutting the cord" and getting PS Vue - while in Montana I was able to watch the Phils on NBC Sports Philly. Apparently if you go anywhere in the country outside of your home market you'll also get said location's local channels and your home sports channels. Pretty cool.

I've has PS vue for a little over a year.  I like it.

Alright, now this is a dumb fucking move. Now they're getting desperate. You're just clogging up the outfield even further. Bautista isn't needed. Play out the season with the roster as it's currently constructed - if you get to the playoffs, hey, great. If not, that's fine as well.

Probably has more to do with Bour's injury more than anything else right? A little pop off the bench

I guess? Just stashing guys that aren't really good off the bench though is just clogging up the roster. Just play with house money and win, or lose (which they're doing a hell of a job of, btw!), with the guys you have. I don't care if they give up pennies for the guy. I'd rather play Hoskins at 1st and open up the OF and put Santana as a pinch bat then. 

hoskins in LF makes pat burrell look like rickey henderson.  he cannot play out there.  this franchise loves ruining their young guys.  the fact that kingery is being blocked by ceasar hernandez, crawford is blocked by asdrubel cabrera (he's gotta be the fattest SS ever), hoskins is playing LF because of the asinine carlos santana signing, etc, etc, etc.  Then you have all of their wasted first round picks of the last decade (early reports are that Bohm looks awful -- not promising for a college guy in short season ball). 

They are a horrible franchise, plain and simple

Anyone else's first show 20 years ago today?

My only PJ regret is not seeing them with the Mighty Jack Irons. 

yeah, mine was.  Still remember telling my friends that the sweet home alabama was a dig at skynyrd in support of their relationship with neil young.  

I've come full circle as this is the first tour since 2008 that I have chosen to skip.  They need to focus on making songs that don't suck (can't deny me is awful) and spend less time promoting political propoganda and their latest $40 t-shirt of the week.  Also, stadium concerts are highly overrated.  I've really been off PJ since Vedder's stupid rant about not drinking too much at the beginning of the fenway show 2 in 2016.  

tons of bands out there making great music that I'd rather see live

You're not really wrong about any of this but man, you just seem like a miserable, miserable person. You periodically crawl out of your hole to whine and complain on a message board about a baseball team. Even when they were consistently winning their division you were complaining. You're not like this in real life are you? For the sake of those who actually know you, I hope not.

nah, the phillies just piss me off as they're my favorite team in all sports.  I hate rooting for stupidity, which is what defines this team

I regret not going to these shows at all. Summer job and Crew kept me from doing many things that year.

Hot take: I miss shows in Camden.

Just saw sturgill simpson and the war on drugs in camden a few weeks ago.  War on Drugs are solid, but Sturgill Simpson is a fucking beast.  That guy should never open for anyone ever
