Lately those are not much better than WIP.

Ha. I've read enough of your posts to know that one, my friend.

And I'm not trying to re-create the fall finals at Chasterly Hill here, but I do find it interesting to hear the rationale behind certain viewpoints on occasion. (Viewpoints themselves seem to be in abundance these days. :slight_smile: )

Hadn't thought about the fact that it is now October. Phillies finish September 11-14, their second losing month (they were 11-11 in April and 11-18 in May).

4-2 in October should do it. 5-1 obviously clinches it. 3-3 means that they need two Brewers losses which I think is reasonable. But they really blew their best chance to make the last series largely moot, and the weather may not help in that regard either.

whoa, game day was still showing the Brewers game as not over with men on base. awesome! playoff game tomorrow.

Or a Brewers loss to the Diamondbacks. As we’ve seen, the snakes are not pushovers.

Its been a frustrating weekend at times. I was sure they had blown it yesterday. I can imagine what Brewers fans are feeling right now because losing 3 of 4 at home to Miami is terrible.

Yeah I'd be a lot happier if they were playing the Cubs even if the Cubs stunk (rivalry and all). But things look pretty solid now regardless.

I've only followed the Phillies since 2006 and I was spoiled in those early years. I feel like the last 11 years have really given me a bit of an understanding for what following this team has been like for most of the last 150 years.

ha, yeah but I just meant 2018-2021, even. Feels like this is the first year the Marlins didn't routinely hurt us.
