Even worse, the teams above 90 wins went 1-13.

Just crazy stats. Several pundits are saying the format has to change…the layoff left teams rusty. But, that doesn’t explain the Brewers and Rays losing.
Tubby: 3 national titles, one won on the field, all D2
Keeler: 3 national titles, all won on the field, one as a player, two as a coach, 1 D2, 2 FCS
Carty: 2 on-field national titles, one as a player, one as an OC, both FCS

Carty - get an FBS bowl win!

Oh, and J-Roll on the studio show for TBS is great - actually found a way to tweet a great tweet in just after the game and before they got back on air, and even includes the hastag #everybodyhitswhoohoo! - the guy is a Philly treasure.
I've heard that guy for years! How Cool.
That was a fun group. The Who’s Your Daddy gig was hilarious…especially the picture. :lol:

And the post game interview with Castellanos…

- “There’s no question.”

“Thank you for coming.” :lol: :lol:

They should open the playoffs to every team. That would give the Red Sox fans something to cheer about.

I so thoroughly enjoy and am grateful for the Phillies the last two seasons. I immensely enjoy going as my son calls it “Play Off Dad is back” while watching them. That is the way I used to watch Hens’ football too. It’s part of who I am and everybody knows it. I missed that feeling (other than the Eagles SB win) for a decade as the Phillies and Hens were mostly lousy. The Phillies are providing the opportunity for me, and millions of other fans to really get into it. I hope the Hens do to. Now take it home for a WS! And glad the Hens are moving in the right direction on the field and behind the scenes. Hopefully, good things are ahead.

I was just going to post about that. So cool. Gotta love Casty, he certainly doesn't waste energy on words. Super high b-Ball IQ, but maybe not a regular IQ. :lol:

Great game last night…happy/surprised to see Houston shut out. Not sure who to root for in that series.


Iggles lost…can the Phils keep rolling?

Phils a half inning away from going up 2-0. Took care of business here, now need to handle business out west.

That was what intimidation looks like at CBP last night. A 10-0 beat down in front of another insane crowd. Been there for both games and I definitely need a day of rest. Bring it home in AZ and get the pitching lined up for the WS and above all stay hot.

Still two down and two to go. Hope last nights power outage was a one time thing. A lot of bad swings on pitches way out of the strike zone.

Still very high on the Phils!!!!

Don't want to miss either so I am making the trek to WC for the Friday nite game.

There are 2 big screens but 1 does not offer a good view. Get there early and get my seat!!! OOOPS :oops: :oops:

As any decent game would, we draw for both table and seat #. But the game will be on!!!!

HUGE game 4 - you don’t want to be 2-2 going up against Gallen on the road for Game 5. Still confident Phils win in 5 or 6
