@JeffPassan If the Phillies play .500 ball the rest of the way, the Mets would need to finish 27-13 to win the division.

Since starting 45-24, the New York Mets are 19-34. The only team with a worse record in that timespan is Washington at 19-35.

@DrHelenFry Who is Felkin?

‘There have never been so many guests. All the cells are full,’ wrote interrogator Matthew Sullivan. ‘Fifty German names have been chalked on the blackboard in the main office with their units, interrogators and report editors.’ Felkin and the interrogators uncovered details of another unnamed operation by German night fighters: ‘Carmichael’, the blonde ATS driver, was dispatched to Bomber Command with urgent papers. Felkin called a meeting to summarise Operation Bodenplatte and said it had been ‘a brave show, well-planned, but poorly executed because of the inexperience of the German pilots’. (continued)

Operation Bodenplatte was the Luftwaffe’s bold and desperate attempt to shatter Allied air dominance in the Low Countries during World War Two. However, a defiant Nazi Group Commodore was outwitted by MI19’s cunning interrogation tactics at Latimer House: (🧵)

@phishead942 Ugliest park in baseball.

My man in the peach colored shirt behind home plate hasn’t watched a single pitch all game. Go Phillies Texas rangers fans apparently suck at watching. The whole VIP suite behind home plate is wild. Nice candy bowl though

@NFL Dude’s lucky Coughlin didn’t give him the Matt Dodge treatment.

The ending of this 2000 preseason game was absolutely bananas 🍌

Mark Wahlberg in The Departed (2006) didn’t just hold his own among a stacked cast, he stole every scene he was in.

@JomboyMedia My employer in 1988 sponsored the U.S. Olympic Baseball team’s exhibition tour in the U.S., facing foes like Cuba and S. Korea in minor league stadiums around the country. Ben McDonald and Jim Abbott were your #1 & 2 starters. Great dudes, amazing pitchers… great team.

@AdamSchefter And just like that, Eagles’ fans were able to forgive Howie for drafting Reagor over Jefferson. The man has been rolling ever since.

@TigerDetective @historyinmemes Okay, but who’s the dame?

It weighs 45.52 carats – That's about 9.104 grams, roughly the weight of a walnut. It glows red in the dark – After exposure to ultraviolet light, the diamond emits a red phosphorescence. It originated in India – Mined in the 17th century from the Kollur Mine in Guntur, it came from the famous Golconda region.

The Hope Diamond, initially purchased by King Louis XIV in 1668, was stolen during the French Revolution in 1792. It reappeared in London in 1812, changed hands among royalty and the affluent, and gained notoriety for its stunning beauty and alleged curse.

@HuntAuctions @ScottLauber @kschwarb12 @Phillies These guys:

@ScottLauber Please help us get in touch with those fans. We represent @kschwarb12 in his memorabilia and would love to extend our thanks for their @Phillies passion with a few surprises!

So, this sums it up: A Phillies fan caught Kyle Schwarber's 1,000th hit. The fan and two friends gave the ball to Schwarber after the game. When Schwarber traded it for two signed baseballs, he asked if they wanted a third. They said they just want him to re-sign w/ the Phillies.

@ScottLauber It was these dudes:

@TimKellySports It’s them, for sure.

@TimKellySports It’s gotta be these dudes, right?

A trio of Phillies fans caught Kyle Schwarber’s 1,000th hit. He only brought out two signed balls. Schwarber said he would go get a third. One of the fans told him he didn’t care about the ball, just wants him to re-sign with the Phillies. Schwarber laughed and got another one.

@PhilliesNation @TyDaubert It’s got to be these dudes, right?

A group of three Phillies fans had Kyle Schwarber’s 1,000th-hit HR ball. The slugger only brought out two baseballs for them in exchange, so he wanted to go get a third. The fans told him they just wanted him to re-sign in Philly. (via @TyDaubert)

@MadBomberHat @DavidPaternostr He does. But shout out to Stephen Root for doing same.

@JomboyMedia It’s amazing how she looks almost exactly like him, and yet she’s really kinda cute.

@ProFootballTalk Met Life Stadium hosted a Supe in 2014. No dome in Philly, ever. The Linc’s atmosphere is already perfect for playoff football.

Eagles survey season-ticket holders regarding a possible new stadium. They may be hoping to host a Super Bowl, which would mean building a dome. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…
