I saw Jason Kelce in person today and didn’t say anything because he was with his mom and I didn’t want to bother him but if you see this Kelce I love you
Phillies lottery is bringing out the worst in a lot of people. Need to correct the vibes by saying this: be happy for your brothers and sisters with the opportunity of a lifetime. Stay away from gatekeeping. It sucks, but we have one common goal: no ticket needed for a parade.
Villanova is officially not a Philly school. It’s a disgrace the social media account is clearly rooting for the knicks and against the 76ers. It’s so so so weird. Like okay cool you have so Nova guys on NY, but never claim to be a Philly school again.
Bruce Springsteen is in the middle of doing the best show he’s done in nearly a decade. Jungleland, Two Hearts, Something In The Night, Detroit Medley and he’s still going. So happy for those there.
9am on a Sunday morning and “Born in the USA” and Lee Greenwood’s “Proud to be an American” blaring outside the hospital where the president is being treated for covid.
The Topper story is funny. We were leaving Chickies and I had to go to the bathroom, as I’m walking in he’s walking out. I say “topper?” He goes “yeah that’s me” with a big smile. Asked for a picture and he couldn’t have been more gracious and kind. I told him to win it all. 👍🏻
“Sign Garrett Stubbs for the vibes,” say the people who don’t realize he completely ruined the vibes of the NLCS by declaring victory after Game 2.
Don’t care if he gets non-tendered. He was horrendous on the field this season, too.
Just drove by Citizens Bank Park: I saw Patrick Corbin, Manny Machado, Bryce Harper & Craig Kimbrel playing catch with Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Mike Schimdt while sipping on 24 oz WaWa coffees singing the Eagles fight song.
I was at Phillies games when John Mayberry Jr and Ty Wiggington were starting every day and Roberto Hernandez or Aaron Harang were on the mound. Fans like me deserve this Harper thing
This Phillies roster is undeniably the best Opening Day squad they've fielded since the last run. No Odubel Herrera, no Laynce Nix, no Ty Wiggington or Michael Martinez. Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber, JT Realmuto. Get excited if you're not already.
I'm going to Xfinity to watch a 76ers playoff game, then walking across the street to watch my 12-7 Phillies, then I'm preparing for the Flyers to make this a 7 game series all the while the Eagles are World Fuckin Champions. What a time to be alive.
Aaron Nola facing the Phillies at CBP as a Brave opening week would literally be the worst thing that’s ever happened to me. Don’t let that happen. Lock him up, Dave.
Trash player who runs into some dingers can’t play first, goes on cold streaks for months at a time. Had his Phillies iconic moment but it’s time to say goodbye
I love Roman Catholic High School so much, but the statement they made about that horrible murder by one of their students rubbed me the wrong way a bit. That kid doesn’t deserve any sympathy. The innocent girl he murdered deserves ALL the sympathy and ALL the prayers
This Game 4 of the NLDS is going to go down as a Phillies classic. Of course Game 3 had its story lines and was more epic, but don’t sleep on the clincher. Masterclass by the manager and Nick Castellanos. Also, Ranger SHOVED
I need to explain myself. Why is a 26 year old obsessed with the music of Bruce Springsteen you may ask? Good question. His music has been in my life since I was a young child. A favourite of my parents, I fell in love with the words, the rhythm, the power of his music.
I want to thank Chase Utley for providing me with memories that will last a life time. His work ethic and the way he went about his business made a young Phillies fan become a baseball lifer. He played the game the absolute right way- a consummate pro. Always The Man.
WIP is a ratings machine. The vast majority of people love it. It’s the babies on social media that cry about how horrible it is, but still definitely listen anyway. It’s laughable
I love how Joel Embiid is a total leader in every sense of the word. He always takes responsibility for himself and his teammates. “We need to be better” in certain areas after a phenomenal victory on the road to start the season is the honesty we need. He’s Always spot on.
Let’s just imagine the 2019 Opening Day Roster in South Philly consist of:
- Bryce Harper
- Manny Machado
- Patrick Corbin
- Dallas Keuchel
John Middleton has to back up his big talk by doing THAT.
Want bold? That’d be pretty freakin bold.
Go Phillies.
Whoever went to Jeremy Giambi’s Wikipedia and wrote in this as his cause of death when the man just passed away today, you’re a piece of shit and you’re going to hell
If I told you the Phillies would be 14 games over .500 and in 1st place in the NL East after the opening series in Atlanta you would have said I’m crazy. Don’t @ me
Some 76ers fans don’t even realize how great Embiid is. An almost guaranteed 40 every single night is NOT normal. This is OUR normal. But we need to do a better job at appreciating his greatness instead of nit picking all the time.
Happy birthday
@TMacPhils
! When I was in grade school I was in charge of organizing assemblies as a class rep. I emailed Tom, my idol, he replied with a Phone call and agreed to speak to my classmates and pass around the World Series ring. A hero of mine forever, and friend.
As a mummer myself, I have to condemn what is going on today in south philly. I love the tradition more than anyone, but let’s think about our vulnerable friends and family who could contract covid and not be as fortunate as a lot of us healthy people who have fought it off.
Reading a lot of Phillies fans reactions to the Hoskins and Castellanos reports and it just reminds me that this fan base isn’t used to quick changes when they are needed. We kept the ‘07-‘11 core together for far too long and it was a disaster. Dombrowski is being proactive. 👍🏻
I lost my Aunt Bernadette today. The Queen of South Philly. She was married to the love of her life for 67 years. She was called home on her wedding anniversary. I’m forever grateful for her constant presence in my life. If there’s a reunion up there, she’s with my mom now
I love country music, but going to a country music concert seems to not be the vibes. Pretty violent crowd at the Luke Combs concert last night it seems. When I saw Zach Bryan it was constant let’s go Brandon chants and fuck Joe Biden chants lol it’s a concert not a trump rally
Waiting for everyone on the right who claimed Bob Saget died from the covid vaccine (Candace Owens included) to apologize for spreading misinformation now that the results from his medical exam are in and finalized
This early fall morning there’s a chill in the air. It’s an autumn chill Philly hasn’t felt since 2009. The leaves are falling, the dog days of summer are over. But the boys of summer are in the final dance and it all starts tonight. Take it all in, we’re in the World Series.
I have no clue why Brian Snitker, who choked for the second straight season in the playoffs as the favorite, is a finalist for Manager of the Year while Rob Thomson beat his team twice in a row and is left off the list. Very strange
Love him or not, what Angelo Cataldi has done at
@SportsRadioWIP
is nothing short of remarkable. Angelo has been a constant. Always there literally since I was a little kid. He’s going to be missed ! Cheers on an incredible run.
Why are the Phillies like relentlessly pushing people to vote to send Harper to the All Star Game? First of all, Idek if he’s all star worthy this year, second of all I think the man needs some time off if anything
BREAKING: According to multiple sources within the
#Phillies
organization free agent mega star Bryce Harper is signing with one of the 30 major league clubs and will be in a uniform for one of those clubs on opening day.
I’m gonna vent (AKA TALK TO MYSELF!!) but.. the Phillies have meant so much to me since I was a little boy. Win or lose I always had a special relationship with this franchise. Even in times of trouble, the Phillies gave me joy on a less frequent occurrence throughout the summer
Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band wrap up their 2023 European tour today in Monza, Italy.
You can stream the entire leg of the tour with a free 30 day trial here:
The band heads back home to the US and picks again on August 9 in Chicago.
My dream my entire life was to be involved in sports journalism. Today I did my first podcast and I know my Mom would be so proud of me. This is all for Her because believe me there's times when I felt like giving up on my dreams b/c I wanted her to see them unfold. I'm back tho
It’s a disgrace what’s going on with the Athletics. I feel for the fans and the history of baseball in the city of Oakland. The franchise deserves better. New leadership is needed for Mark Kotsay to get that team to the playoffs during his reign.
#SellTheTeam
Rob Manfred said the A's need clarity "in the next few months" as to where they're playing after this year and prior to their move to Las Vegas. "It’s clearly going to be some place in the west."
Manfred declined to specify how many/which locations remain in consideration.
7 years ago today, my heart was ripped away from me when my Mom passed away. It doesn’t get easier with time like they say. I miss her.
The worst day of your life is when you lose your mom.
We all love Garrett Stubbs. He’s the vibes man. At the same time, if you’re not a fraud you’ll admit that what he said was completely idiotic. You don’t learn not to make shit like that public after Arcia? Phillies are now giving the snakes bulletin board material. It’s working.
