Candidates for next Phillies manager. Go!

Tape it. If they win, I’ll enjoy it well rested. If they lose, I plan to show it to my grandkids, so they understand why I act the way I do.

Hey, this current crop of Phillies are killing me and you are bringing up bad memories?

tomg18.bsky.social @tomg18.bsky.social · 17h

A boondoggle. Should have shut this down permanently, redeveloped it, and moved everything, including the Preakness, to Laurel, which has much better access and space.

As in, “that shitshow is going to ruin my personal life.”

Grew up in the 70s when the Phillies won consecutive NL East titles from 1976-1978, including two 100-win seasons. But the manager, Danny Ozark, never got them to the title and was gone. Thomson has to go, barring a miracle comeback.

Second round of playoffs. Then Embiid gets hurt next year, George sulks, and we miss playoffs. Rinse, repeat.

My 75 year old husband just saw Lindsey Graham and said to me - at least we know he isn’t in the Epstein Files. I spit my coffee out

Every morning I wake up and wonder how those poor souls in Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Potomac, and Cabin John are surviving. The burdens they face. 🙄

I don’t think Jerry was flipping the bird. Pretty sure he was saying “I’ll trade Dak to you for a first.”

They can’t hit. The bullpen gives up runs. And Thomson makes questionable decisions. When they do this time after time, it makes perfect sense. You guys brushed it off too quickly on the first pod. Frustrating.

Please don’t give us #Phillies fans a reason to watch Wednesday’s 9 p.m. game.

Where is Steve Sax when you need him? #Phillies #Dodgers

Roberts must have picked up Thomson’s bullpen handling guide by mistake. #Phillies

The reason why Trump can’t simply say “no” when asked if he will pardon Ghislaine Maxwell is he needs her to continue to cover for him. Giving her hope for a pardon guarantees she will keep her mouth shut about what she knows.

Fire the person who did that, and Thomson.

The topic of Tuesday’s show?

tomg18.bsky.social @tomg18.bsky.social · 2d

Look how the Dodgers manager pulls Hernandez, one of his best hitters, late in the game for defense. Thomson thinks Castellanos is the Pope and can’t be removed.

tomg18.bsky.social @tomg18.bsky.social · 2d

And the guy defected! Not a bad idea. #Phillies

The Phillies are watching the Dodgers drive in runs wondering how LA gets their sticks to work.

The Sixers, too.

Not on the pitchers tonight.

tomg18.bsky.social @tomg18.bsky.social · 2d

I miss the days when catchers could block the plate. Yes, careers were ruined, but my team won, dammit. #Phillies

I’ll never argue with a cat lover.
