The Eagles have scored as many points (0) so far tonight as the Phillies and Flyers . . .

Sadly, the latter two have actually been playing for a while . . .

My understanding is that if the Phillies win tonight, many MLB teams will combine with the their NFL counterparts tomorrow and decide to ban both the Tush Push and the Phillies Powder Blue uniforms . . .

Agreed.

Bob Vetrone Jr. @boopstats.bsky.social · 6h

Yes. They are 0-3 since:

1981 Expos
2011 Cards
2023 Dbacks

The Phillies scored more runs Wednesday (8) than they had (6) in their previous five postseason games when facing elimination (0-5) --

Tip of the BoopStats Hat to . . .

@ClownBoat for pointing out that all three Philadelphia sports contests Thursday night will involve that league's DEFENDING CHAMPION . . .

For those interested . . .

There have only been FIVE seasons in which the PHILLIES & SIXERS overlapped in the summer/fall:

> 1980 Oct. 10-21
> 2008 Oct. 29*
> 2009 Oct. 28-Nov. 4
> 2020 Aug. 1-23
> 2022 Oct. 18-Nov. 5

*Technically. (Officially WS ended Oct. 27.)

Nope . . .

Bob Vetrone Jr. @boopstats.bsky.social · 9h

Most years, the NBA starts late October (some years a little earlier, some times in November), so a Phillies/Sixers fall crossover is rare . . .

Here's hoping that we can be adding another line to this list late Thursday evening --

It would take a couple of upsets, but THURSDAY could yield three Philadelphia ROAD wins on the same day for the SECOND time this year and just the FOURTH time ever . . .

Thursday will now mark the EIGHTH Phillies/Eagles/Flyers tripleheader in Philadelphia sports history . . .

(No, there has NEVER been a day when all four Philly teams played regular season/postseason games!)
