@RayMoffo For me it's being up 2-1 in the 2022 WS staring at 2 home games to win it all and going out and getting no-hit in Game 4. Kerkering's error just accelerated what was going to be a lost series and maybe even a lost game since the best they could hope for was extra innings anyway.

the previous Red October era ended when Ryan Howard collapsed after making the final out in the 2011 NLDS This most recent era will be remembered as ending with Orion Kerkering's throwing error

@epawawx This is a guy who doesn't participate in mound visits so it's not so much of a surprise to hear this.

What he says isn't wrong, but at the same time, it's a horrible look for a guy that is making $330M and is the expected leader of this team. "Help" should be coming from within, but there's no accountability from your "leaders". A leader doesn't blame someone or something else.

@RAJr_20 Aging players do OK for awhile after breaks such as the off season and the AS break but eventually the day in, day out grind of the 162 game schedule exposes their diminishing stamina. What you saw first-hand with Rollins, Utley and Howard is now with this group. It's over.

Harp doing his thing. Will it help move things along? Something needs to happen internally or externally get things back on track. Give it a listen

@priyaee @emilysavesusa @PrettyPolMedia OMG. Influence me. Tell me how to feel. Tell me who to vote for. Please.

Your favorite Pretty Political girls 💕

@TMacBlows As pathetic as it may have been, McCarthy has nothing on obese man-toddler Trump at the correspondents dinner the other night.

Is there anything more pathetic than our obese man-toddler announcer calling Sosa “Edmundo” during his entire at bat? He’s like a twelve year old girl with a crush. Horrible baseball called by the worst announcer in professional baseball.

@KatieZacharia @LeaderJohnThune I hate to break this to you but the people who live in the principalities where elections are held decide who their elected officials are. But I realize there's big money to be made by people such as yourself going on a national platform in full makeup and trying to scare people.

🚨 Lack of dissent from establishment Democrats on the Democrat Communists of America’s platform—outlined by Megan Romer—proves that the Big Tent fully owns this unconstitutional & lethal ideology. @LeaderJohnThune has the antidote, but refuses to nuke the filibuster to SAVE America. Coming to a theater near you: Ending the Electoral College; Packing the Supreme Court, Abolishing the Senate; Replacing the presidency & SCOTUS with Congress-controlled versions; Full amnesty + voting rights for illegal aliens; Defunding the military; 32-hour workweek; Medicare for All; and Cancel all student debt.

@LydiaMoynihan Trump has already abolished private property by making home purchasing something that only the wealthiest can afford and by letting them buy it all up to rent out.

Democrats can criticize trump all they want but the problem is the alternative they are offering — Abolishing private property — Pushing socialism — Candidates that wont condemn the ayatollah for fear of alienating their base isn't exactly a winning proposition.

@KatieZacharia @realDonaldTrump @POTUS And we all wish he wasn't because all that he produces is a bunch of BS.

🚨 @realDonaldTrump is the most available, transparent, and visible @POTUS in history. Truth Social and our First Amendment ensure it!

@MattGelb Matt Gelb is to the team what Fox News is to the President.

Both Zack Wheeler and Don Mattingly expressed no concern after Wheeler's shortened outing with diminished velocity. "One of those days," Wheeler said. "You have a bad day every once in a while I'm sure, right?" Yes.

It looks like Zack Wheeler is going to be done after three innings. Something was affecting him all night. He threw a 91 mph sinker in the third. Phillies brass, after huddling in dugout, made the call.

@SpeakerJohnson The intention of Mike Johnson couldn't be clearer. Vote for the people that HE wants, not who YOU want. THAT'S COMMUNISM.

The contrast could not be clearer: Republicans are for COMMON SENSE, and Democrats are for COMMUNISM. We MUST protect the greatest country in the history of the world from Mini Mamdanis.

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS He really believes his own BS doesn't he?

.@POTUS on Iran: "We've pretty much destroyed their military. They want to meet, and we're meeting. We'll see what happens. There's a chance we could make a deal. Without what we did, they wouldn't even be talking to us."

@ToddZolecki To undo their mega contracts. But nobody wants them.

What do the Phillies need most?

@LesBowen His only objective is to fill the seats. Free Agency is his supply chain.

I would love to know how Middleton accepts having a farm system that hasn’t produced a really good major league position player in nearly two decades. How do you field a true contender that way?

@RealGlenMacnow I agree. There's nothing more noble for any of us to live for than the rich getting richer via overpriced merchandise and tickets through ticket brokers. I have no idea what all of the fuss is about.

For the life of me, I don’t get how anyone could not be excited to see LeBron as a 76er. After decades of disappointment & identity as losers, this team gets a fresh start with an alltime winner and superstar.

@greta You left out the part where this year the main detriment was that the President happened to be a blowhard cry baby.

I didn’t go Fri (opted out) but it is White House Correspondents Association’s fault the dinner has been bad for yrs (I have gone because a work obligation.) Years ago WHCA began setting the ugly tone by hiring mean spirited ‘comedians’ to “entertain” who said horrible things that the room of journalists laughed at but were not funny but cruel.. against whoever the president was and people in the room mediaite.com/media/top-nyt-…

@JClarkNBCS They aren't going to win anything of significance. Time and money are precious. Spend them wisely.

The Phillies have lost 4 straight games for the first time in 3 months. They are 2-6 at home since the All Star break and have scored 1 run or less 5 times. They have scored 1 run or less 25 times this season. Tied for the most in the majors with the A’s 😱

@KatieZacharia Has the blowhard stopped talking yet about all of his personal grievances while families lose loved ones?

🚨 President Trump, the known Roaster-in-Chief, was much nicer to the press at the WHCD than I had expected! He gave his political opposition some good jabs, however.

@nufced In the matter of a relative minute the fan base of this market has transformed itself from one that wouldn't accept shit from anybody to one that will willingly buy into anything that the wealthy teams put in front of them. Can only imagine yesterday's ticket broker frenzy.

Absolutely love LeBron James coming to Philly, but I will never understand fans so excited about the sudden rise in ticket prices to see a game. Hard to figure out which is more stupid - the actual prices, or fans thinking it’s a badge of honor.

@TarynNHatcher @CecilyTynan It's the Kool Aid that I stay away from. I recommend it.

@MLKisMyHero @CecilyTynan Gary, crack a cold Diet Coke and settle down.

An icon among Philadelphia icons. What a career. Enjoy your retirement @CecilyTynan 💕

@destiny_lugardo And how did last year turn out?

Through 103 games last year, the Phillies were 59-44, 0.5 game back in the NL East and 5.5 games clear of a wild card spot. Through 103 games this year, the Phillies are 56-47, 4.5 games back in the NL East and 3.0 games clear of a wild card spot.
