  1. I just got covid for the first time and have been sleeping all day. I’m not sure if staying up for this game is going to make me feel better or worse .

  2. Starting lineup the last time the Phillies won in Arizona (August 5, 2019)

    * Cesar Hernandez 2B
    * Rhys Hoskins 1B
    * Bryce Harper RF
    * JT Realmuto C
    * Jean Segura SS
    * Scott Kingery 3B
    * Adam Haseley LF
    * Vince Velasquez P
    * Roman Quinn CF

  3. Even with the rough last few games, got a good feeling about tonight. The boys are resilient, I believe in Topper steering the ship and stopper Falter. Let’s beat those snakes tonight

  4. I hope after this series it doesn’t mean the Giants beat us after being swept by the Pads. However, we need to keep the Brewers off our asses.

  5. If anyone wants some positive sport news before this game. The union are bout to clinch a playoff spot

  6. I have a little dilemma. I’m a huge fan of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, which is called “the Met.” I bought a Met Museum t-shirt, but whenever I say “my Met shirt” it sounds dirty. I need to overemphasize the T, like it’s pronounced “Mett.” Anyone I mention it to is kind of taken aback, thinking that I had switched sides or something. I’d never do that. I’d never buy Mets anything. Met, singular, on the other hand is fine.
