MLB '24 Regular Season Thread

When the Phillies won in 1980, I was there and it was great. But I also remembered my family's next door neighbor when I was a little kid, Mr. Himes. There was a strip of land separating our two driveways. He grew flowers, my Dad grew vegetables. We'd meet when I had weeding duty and commiserate about the Phils (check the records from like 1956-1961 to see that misery was our company). Things happen, and I never found out, but I sure hope Mr. Himes made it to 1980. My suspicion is 1977 did him in.

 

Stupid Rally Monkey!

 

Yes, but look at the bright side...Mrs. Autry got to hoist the trophy, but the title came at a cosmic price so steep that it ensures Arte Moreno will never get to do the same.

 

Needs more Yakity Sax.

 

Will Tommy Pham find another clubhouse to infect?

 

Royals could use him:

Pasquantino has broken right thumb, out 6-8 weeks

 

My man Ryan Hockensmith nails it again with this longform on Paul Skenes and the Air Force Academy.

How the Air Force fueled the rise of Paul Skenes

 

Oh, man, that's a lot of production lost.

 

These Phillies uniforms are ass.

 

They are the worst. I am always perversely happy when they get smoked in them, as is happening tonight. It's like MLB has an anti-marketing department.

 

The Pirates bullpen is haunted.

 

Or is this a case of the Cards releasing him so he has a chance to hook on with a real contender?
