GDT 10/6/24 New York Mets (Severino, L) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Sánchez, C)

The Mets are a good team, playing at the moment with a lot of confidence and do-or-die purpose. It'd be great if the Phillies steamrolled them, but we can't be surprised if it's a tough series.

With Senga on the mound in game 1, I felt like the Phils had an opportunity to ambush him and the Mets by knocking him out before the inning even ended. Schwarber's leadoff HR was a perfect start, but the Phils didn't manage to follow up. Had they done so, they might have taken the wind out of NY's sails and this would be a different series. I give credit to Senga for retaining his composure. They're a good team. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I didn't watch the game. Went for a bike ride instead

Probably a good decision, as I imagine your emotions would have been boiling over during parts of tonight’s improbable 7-6 victory. Sometimes we need a reset to remember that it’s not a life or death situation as to whether the Phillies win or lose. I hope the break today did you good, my friend.

It did, thank you. Attended evening Sunday mass with my wife which I do almost every Sunday as well. And, I am very glad that I checked back in to see a win!
