by the way disappointed at how little the Mets fans have come after us tonight. I was anticipating it and we deserve it lol

Stephen @7forwardgears.bsky.social · 2h

reading the comments under the Phillies insta tonight and damnit the Dodgers have a class fanbase. majority of comments complimenting the series, the team, but most importantly offering sympathies for Kerkering. MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DISLIKE YOU! That's not fun!

jfc might have to root for them

I'm keeping the last, just changing the first, but one has to do so much administrative crap [and post it in the papers - because archaic rules]. It's not too expensive though.

Stephen @7forwardgears.bsky.social · 3h

I'm actually starting the process of changing mine!

It's a little harder in the US, but can be done

As tough as tonight was, I'm prob the only Philadelphian who suffered the endings combo of tonight's game, the Joe Carter HR, and Ryan Howard collapse

&

the don't hand it to Marshawn Lynch on the 1 for back to back SB wins

[never met another hardcore Phillies & Seahawks fan combo - I'm it!]

If you’ve been injured by Philadelphia Sports on October 9th, 2025, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

I know what it's like to have my brain lock up and make a mistake in real time. I refuse to blame him and I'll leave it at that

I'm just sad

Orion is a kid, he's still new-ish, and was in a high stress situation he'd never encountered before. Anyone going after him abusively should chill the f out & get help

We lost, as you said, bc of the $ offense that has plenty of experience & didn't show

Also, the Dodgers are good!

Stephen @7forwardgears.bsky.social · 3h

Flyers lost

Not a good sports day for me!

Stephen @7forwardgears.bsky.social · 3h

He's gonna win by having a 27 point lead over Max and a 1 point lead over Lando going into the final race, turning off the team radio on lap 1, and taking Lando and himself out.

And I'm gonna enjoy it.

And now the tears. Made it about 15 minutes. This is the 1st stage at the end of a season for an obsessed hardcore lifelong Philadelphia Phillies fan.

There are no other stages.

Sports are stupid. But they are a great escape & a real bond with others for some of us [for me it's Phillies w/my Dad].

I didn't blame Mitch Williams either. I blamed Fregosi for not realizing Williams was toast by the World Series and being bullheaded about it. Let's not knock the last guy who held the ball. There's usually other factors.

I feel very very sorry for Kerkering and I don't hang this loss on him. I hope he's ok mentally. I hope everyone goes easy on him.

There are 709.5 million reasons we didn't win this game. Look at batters #1 #2 and #3.

Yeah I'm sick. Utterly sick. That was one of the worst ways to lose.

Season over. I'll be angry in a few hours, but right now I'm just fucking numb.

This core can't come back. They're not good enough.

Big sexy energy coming to the plate!

Harrrrison Baaaaader!!

Stephen @7forwardgears.bsky.social · 4h

Bohm has been so close so many times 😕

He's had a good game at the plate tonight

Stephen @7forwardgears.bsky.social · 5h

Can our starters - and starters turned relievers - hit too? They're the only Phillies who understand the assignment. Luzardo was awesome.

Stephen @7forwardgears.bsky.social · 5h

I have one game one the TV, one on the laptop, one on the phone. What a time to be alive!

[Phillies -> Eagles -> Flyers]

Stephen @7forwardgears.bsky.social · 5h

Strahm!! I believed in you. Mostly.

Extra innings. Every at bat matters more than any other previous at bat this season. Make good choices, gents.

I was 52 when this game started. I'm 94 now.
