GDT 8/21/19 Philadelphia Phillies (Smyly) @ Boston Red Sox (Porcello)

That was an incredibly satisfying game to watch. Great clutch hitting from Dickerson to produce those insurance runs. A very strong performance by our Motley Crew bullpen. Really solid baseball. I liked it.

A really fun game to be at. Lots of Phillies fans there. And the weather held up for the most part.

The Phillies and Sox have essentially the same record, but the Sox season is ovah.

Did you hear "Escalator of Life" on the organ?

Philadelphia's own. That would be like the Phillies playing The Cars when the Red Sox were in town.

Feels like it's been a long time since I looked at a Phillies boxscore and saw five Phillies relievers with ERA's under 4.00.

Notwithstanding the last two Padres games, this team has played good baseball of late.

I have trouble sometimes identifying sings played on very different instrumentation from the original, but now that you mention it, I think I do remember hearing it. Before the game, I heard a sing that sounded familiar, but it took me a few minutes to recognize it as "Come On Eileen." I guess the organist liked the early 1980s.

He's very diverse.

Sharkey's Day by Laurie Anderson - not what I would expect to hear at a ball game. That would blow me away!
