If I've learned one thing from the past few years of #RedOctober, it's that "shadows" only ever affect the #Phillies hitters. Our opponents are always immune to shadows.

These TBS announcers mentioned McGwire but don't even know about the Matt Stairs HR? #NLDS

Tanner Banks should've been pitching instead of Kerkering & Strahm #Phillies

Starting to wish the #Phillies had tried harder for that #1 seed...

Friendly reminder that Marvin Gaye's version of "I Heard it through the Grapevine" is a COVER, not the original. #xpncountdown

So awful! Are they also looking for the woman who was dropped off at the pizza shop? I'm sure she knows who was driving.

The Phillies have hit a franchise-record eight home runs tonight. Edmundo Sosa has three of them.

Forever incapable of listening to "The Dead Heart" by #MidnightOil - especially the last verse - without thinking of #CitizensUnited. Amazing that this fantastic song was written almost 25 years earlier. Thanks a lot, #SCOTUS!

Just saw that Tim Alberta clip and had a similar reaction. Plus that recent #KarenBallsnatcher incident was at the Marlins stadium in Miami, not in Philly @realtimers.bsky.social

There also will be significantly more undetected physical & sexual child abuse, b/c abusive parents won't be forced to take kids to pediatricians on a regular basis anymore.
