So was having Trea bunt there supposed to be Rob Thomson taunting the fans?

IDK if it is but I'm going to take it that way

Anyway this guy is back

Great timing given we've learned the useful life of a large portion of the regional rail fleet which, from now until these cars meet the scrapper's torch, will need a lot more overhead to keep limping on until help arrives

This isn't the only TOC thing SEPTA is supposed to be working on, the Transformation Office is looking into the feasibility of a captive real estate company to free TOC proposals from normal procurement rules

That's code for Kerkering into Strahm once they pull Nola, btw

Matt Gelb @mattgelb.bsky.social · 2d

Aaron Nola is starting Game 3, Rob Thomson said. Ranger Suárez would pitch behind him.

"Good fight?" I wouldn't go that far

The Phillies put up a good fight Monday night in Game 2 of the NLDS. The game remained scoreless through the top of the 7th inning, when the Dodgers got the first run on a slowly hit ground ball.

Anyway the Phillies should have to take Greyhound back from the west coast when this is over

The Phillies as an organization thrives when the playoff performances of many of its supporting cast type players can be described as "unexpected!" or "surprising!" much to the confusion of beat writers and analysts all the while

Spooky Monorail Maoist @awildschild.bsky.social · 2d

The Phillies problem once again is that they are pretending this is a team that spiritually can ever be made up of complete players who can perform at the highest level

They need a stupid dickhead who can hit a ball no one thinks could get a productive hit and somehow get to 2nd

I think in one of the remix maps they put out over the years, this one needed like one fewer drivers than the actual fixed bus route

Apparently, SEPTA has started receiving the microtransit buses

The PA House passed version of a 2025-26 state capital plan had $25 million for nebulous West Chester Railroad and common carrier passenger service work. They're trying... at the very least WCRR gets better track conditions if this stays in

Is there a reason the TBS guys spent Alex Call's at-bat sucking him off?

There was also a proposal to give the Public Utilities Commission more oversight into the load forecasts the PA electric utilities send to PJM

What if we dealt with skill gaming machines by not addressing the main issues with them and used the money raised by taxing them in (just?) casinos to fund charter schools?

That being said, if any of the wild card series had a right a moral outcome it would've been Reds-Dodgers where the Reds had a chance of knee capping the Dodgers' new theory of actively ignoring the regular season.

Unfortunately that works best when the Reds pitching doesn't eat shit for two nights

The first example being a team that was at best mediocre all year and happened to take advantage of the team ahead of them collapsing, and the team that collapsed, is great

Anyway, the MLB still has the fewest number of team make it into the playoffs compared to the other American major leagues

Keith Olbermann @olbermann.bsky.social · 6d

Before this is decided: MLB has lost the plot

The SEASON used to determine which teams were BETTER. Now it decides...nothing? Guardians effect the greatest numerical comeback to beat the Tigers over 162, then have to beat them AGAIN over just 3?

Why even...HAVE a season?
