Was pretty amazing Lance Parrish managed to hang around as long as he did after the Phillies traded him

Many years ago, I found the program from my baptism lying around my grandparents’ house. I evidently was baptized on that same exact day. You’d think I would’ve turned out to be more religious…

Probably the worst I’ve felt about a Temple football loss since the 2016 Military Bowl (the one right after Matt Rhule left for Baylor). The Phillies and Eagles performances this week probably contributed to that, but I suppose it’s a sign that they’re finally headed back in a positive direction

The two games in Denver were excruciating, but the Phils won both. Game 4 was “Get me to the plate, boys”

Game 3 was originally scheduled for Saturday but was snowed out

Shit, I still thought that after the Kepler ball got away from Pages and Turner drove him in

Ranger seems alright after taking a baseball in the groin. No sense leaving him out there though

I’m good with Alec Bohm getting a first inning RBI every night

The Phillies have won three 1-0 games in a season for the first time since they won that many in 2011. Last season with more was 2010, when they won six games by that score

The top NL seed is all but officially out of the question, but the Phillies do have a magic number of 1 to wrap up homefield advantage in the World Series should they get there

But eventually people start to notice and finally a guy just yells out “Hey Bernie!” Sure enough, he turns around, gives a thumbs up and says “Ehhhhh, let’s go Flyers!”

It absolutely was Bernie Parent. In more ways than one. RIP Bernie

In 2008, I was at the Phillies home opener with my dad. We were in section 313. There was a guy a few rows in front of us who looked just like Bernie Parent. But we figured it wasn’t him, because why the hell would Bernie Parent be sitting up there?

Johnny Podres if you want to count coaches

Jack Redfern @jrphilly80.bsky.social · Sep 12

So obviously there’s Tug McGraw and Brad Lidge, but how many other pitchers have the Phillies had that recorded the last out of the World Series at some point during their career?

Can think of Kent Tekulve, Walker Buehler, and Jonathan Papelbon off the top of my head. Others?

This time last year, the Phillies had the Aramis Garcia Game and the Cal Stevenson Game.

Will we have a Donovan Walton Game on this homestand?

Jack Redfern @jrphilly80.bsky.social · Sep 5

Will they show Phillies Clubhouse during the weather delay?

My favorite was when I was on vacation in Scotland last month. I got a Go Birds from a local (was wearing my Super Bowl Champions hoodie) literally within ten minutes of stepping out of the hotel after checking in

This is like the Phillies in Miami in 2003/04 all over again
