[Edgy MD]

If everybody want to pay me a few bucks, I'll procure a testing sample from the guy. I'm a truth-teller.

Low juice night.

[Edgy MD]

LOL

[Frayed Knot]

Phils have been on the short end of several B/S calls tonight.

Still 1 - Zip Phils, batting in bottom 8th

[Willets Point]

The Phillies just need three more outs to deliver us a happy outcome.

[Willets Point]

And the F-ing Yankees f-ing tie the Red Sox in the 8th.

[Edgy MD]

I have no nostalgia for the Phils' baby blues, but they can rock that maroon primary color forever, as far as I'm concerned.



Let's go, Phillie bullpen!

[Edgy MD]

Ex-Met Guillermo Heredia enters the game as the tying run on first.

[Willets Point]

Phillies win!!!

[Edgy MD]

A win of great importance.

[Frayed Knot]

Odorizzi vs Nola 2night

[Benjamin Grimm]

Phillies up 2-0 in the second.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Still batting, first and third one out, Shwarber at the plate.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Shwarber struck out but Hoskins doubled. 4-0 Phils, bottom 2.

[bmfc1]

6-0 Phillies in the 4th. Opportunity is knocking, Mets.

[kcmets]

8-sniffle through four. Generous triple scored on what I thought was an

E-8 to plate the 7th run.

[Frayed Knot]

Braves announcers as the game started: 'OK, let'ssee if we can put up a good score before the Met game starts'

Me: You have.





OK so the game's not over and we shouldn't get cocky here.

But 8 - 0 beats the hell out of 0 - 8

[kcmets]

9-sniffle through six. If things go south from here, everything is going south...

[Frayed Knot]

Well it's not like we haven't seen the Phils blow large, late leads before ... this year.



9 - 1 mid-7th

6 out for the Phils pen to navigate.

[Fman99]

Go Phillies



Goes and washes hands

[Frayed Knot]

Braves are retired in the 8th, down 9 - 1

[Frayed Knot]

It's over in Philly, and we've got a new state to explore.

[Willets Point]

Let's make our sojourn to Virginia short before heading to New Hampshire.

[Willets Point]

699 for Pujols. Also, it's against the Dodgers so it helps us.

[Willets Point]

700 for Pujols! 5-0 Cardinals.

[Frayed Knot]

What's really impressive about those two HRs is that he apparently hit them only 8 minutes apart!

[bmfc1]

Spencer Strider to the IL. A big blow to ATL or was it just bad luck?

[Edgy MD]

Sounds like the "abundance of precaution that the Mets did with Max Scherzer. Keepin' 'em fresh for the post-season.

[Frayed Knot]

Bryce Harper decides to finally join the series with a 2R HR and knocks Kyle Wright out of the game in the process.

6 - 2 Braves, Phils batting in bottom 6th



I think that's only Harper's second hit in what is now the 6th game played between those two teams over the last week.

[bmfc1]

Per Ken Rosenthal and others: "Miami Herald reporting that Mattingly and the Marlins have reached a mutual agreement on this being his final season as the team's manager."



May the Marlins be so devastated that they can barely take the field on Tuesday and Wednesday but recover so they do everything they can to give Mattingly three wins against ATL in his final three games as their manager.
