That's how the Reds won the '72 NLCS against the Pirates. Bob Moose (great name) fired one to the backstop, allowing George Foster to score the game-winner in the bottom of the 9th in Game 5.
Kinda early, but I'm already wondering what the Phillies are going to do with their roster next season. Going to have more 1B awkwardness with Joseph and Hoskins, Crawford has to challenge Galvis for SS next year and of course a glut of young pitchers who at best might be 3rd starters. And will...
I've been out full time since 2012, I may not be freelancing for my local paper this year and I do have some anxiety because as much as I hate what journalism has become, I honestly already miss game day, gamer stories and just the overall feeling of being a sports writer.
But what I don't miss...
Summer Slam would be the time to turn Sasha heel (could've said the same thing about Mania), but it's going to be hard to turn her when she's so over on and off TV.
I was 11 turning 12 when the Phils took Southeastern PA/South Jersey/Delaware on that crazy ride to the World Series and Dutch was the undisputed heart and soul of that team. His knees were starting to give him trouble but he still caught about 90 percent of the games that year, hit cleanup and...
The bright spot in the current Phillie Phloundering is that Aaron Altherr might just be the Jayson Werth replacement they've been looking for. Short of that, Franco needs a day or two off and Jesus Christ, they need a competent pitching coach/bullpen.
I'm afraid Cesar Hernandez is juicing.
I'm afraid neither Neris or Benoit is the long-term answer at closer.
I'm afraid Mackanin's really gonna keep Altherr on the bench when Saunders has been a flop.
I'm afraid Maikel Franco is having his 2003 Pat Burrell year and people are gonna say dump...
I'm glad I didn't take any action on the Sixers winning 30 because of course they decide to tank after going 28-46. Good times.
And I haven't been on here in forever, greetings comrades.
Reigns has to be heel now. There's no chance in heck *hi-hat, cymbal crash* that he can come back and have the support of the fans, especially with Ambrose's star rising finally.
