It was an exciting weekend down at the bank and though we got started off a day late, we did get some sunshine for Opening Day on Friday. The pitching, however, took a few days to stabilize and after two straight Ls to the division rival Braves – numbers 11,260 and 11,261 of all time – the boys got into the win column on Sunday with a 5-4 comeback victory.

The Phils had two cracks to punch their ticket to the World Series entering the week needing to win just one out of two to move on and now they’ll be heading home. The top two pieces in the bullpen each watched a run come home, the biggest bats came up kinda small in the biggest spots and your 2023 Philadelphia Phillies failed to keep the vibes train on the rails. Surely, it wasn’t a totally lost season and it is near impossible to successfully run the gauntlet two years in a row...2023-10-2508 minPhils in FiveWho Wants to Win the National League?The Phillies high hopes of wrapping up the NL Crown on the Road in Arizona took a serious hit with a bullpen blowup Thursday and Friday’s encore implosion by Craig Kimbrel out an end to that talk. But the Phillies bounced back with a pair of blasts and another dazzling performance from their ace on Saturday to take back the lead in the NLCS and head home to Philly needing just one more win to earn a second straight trip to the World Series. Let’s Ring the Bell as the boys look to finally end the Snakes.

The Phils really just didn't have it, mustering just single run on offense as they fell to the Braves who emphatically clinched the NL East against the team that knocked em out of the playoffs 11 months ago. The boos rained down as the Braves danced all over the Phillies mound in jubilation and while we’ll tip our cap to the division champs and sound the sad trombone today, we’ll remain hopeful that perhaps, just like last season, a different team will be dancing on the mound come October.

Each team scored 15 runs in the twin bill on Monday as they split wins and while the Braves earned second win in on Tuesday, the relentless Phillies put the pressure on and again pushed it to extras after falling behind 6-1. Yeah so we picked up losses 11,252 and 11,253 of all time, but we're gonna Ring the Bell for one win a whole lot of home runs from the comeback kids.

2023-05-1905 minPhils in FiveThree DownThe Phillies took their Rockie Mountain High into San Francisco and so far, have gotten toasted. Monday, they had the heart to go down nice and early letting the east coaster tap out and get some sleep. Tuesday the team showed signs of life and even got it to a run in the ninth but ultimately some sloppy play in the field and inability to capitalize with runners in scoring set the team back twice in the first two game of the series, losses number 11,208 and 11,209 of all time.. We deserve this one today... WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP.
...2023-05-1706 minPhils in FiveThe Fighting PhilliesTempers flared, benches cleared and Bryce Harper tried to catch himself a bird as the Phillies took a frustrating loss on Sunday–number 11,207–but that didn’t stop the team from running their win streak to five with wins on Friday and Saturday to take the series in Colorado so lets Ring the Bell for a second straight series win.

I’m not going to entertain any of these nonsensical complaints after a string of completely pathetic games. This is the losingest franchise in the history of mankind... this is what we signed up for!

Two losses to the Marlins to close out the series, a loss to the Reds to open the next one, we’re up to 11,196 losses in franchise history 4-9 overall this season.. yuck..
