"Decent" opening day win against an inferior team. Phillies gave the Nationals too many chances to win this game, not a good sign. However the Phillies hung in there to win the game in extra innings, which is what better teams should do.
Philly has a beautiful Super Bowl win under its belt. Sure would be nice to follow that with a World Series win.

Playoff's ?..... Playoff's !.
Yo Blue ? .....Ya gotta say the words.
(Blue) "PLAY BALL " !

NL East:
Marlins in first place at 3-1
Braves in last place at 0-4
That's a weirdy.
Braves were the MLB 2nd favorite odds to win the World Series. Now at 0-5 they sure have dug themselves an early hole.
Phillies now in NL East first place at 3-1.
Its still early and the Braves have been decimated by injuries, I wouldnt count them out. They literally have basically a minor league outfield right now with Acuna out and crappy Profar getting a PED suspension. Its never a good sign when Profar was going to be your 2nd best OFer though

Phillies with another good win.
Braves now at 0-7 losing tonight from a walk-off home run by Shohei Ohtani.
Dodgers now at 8-0. The way they are playing, all the other teams in the NL may only be playing this season for second place.
Big three game series at home, starting tonight against the Dodgers.
I'd gladly take winning two out of three.
I think Philly beats the Dodgers today
Win or lose, I'm voting this Post of the Day.
If the Phillies win, I'm elevating this to Post of the Month.
Good call. 👍
Frankly, I thought the Dodgers were going to win this game. The Dodgers have been red hot. I would have been fine winning one out of three for the series. Now I'm thinking sweep. LOL
But I'll be fine winning two out of three against this tough team, that is a strong favorite to repeat as WS champs.
It would have been nice had I bet on my post of the day lol
You've got a chance to do it today around 4:05 pm. Bookies have it as a dead even coin flip, at -110 each. If anything, I think the Phillies might be a tad over-bet.
I'm not calling the game, way too tough in my view. But I'd love to see the Phillies take two straight from the Dodgers. Would be some early season enjoyment.
Very good sign with the Phillies taking two out of three from the Dodgers.
Should bode well for a good season...I hope. 😊
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Ugly series against the Mets. Phillies can't seem to get a timely hit to save their life.
Long way to go, but they need to start playing better or this season may get away from them.
Phillies have been playing erratically, but only 4 games out, so I can't complain too much.
However they do need to tighten things up a bit.
Phillies now only 2.5 games back.
Still not playing great baseball.
PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies suffered a major blow to their bullpen on Sunday, when Major League Baseball suspended José Alvarado 80 games without pay following a positive test for a performance-enhancing substance.
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Yea, it was going too good. I knew the sports gods wouldn't allow Philly to win a Super Bowl, and then a World Series, back to back. 😒
Eh! But too early in the season to worry just yet! Things could be worse - you could be a Guardians fan
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
I liked the game the kid Abel pitched yesterday.
Good stats but it was against the Pirates though!
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Nice to see the Phillies in first place over the Mets.
Still a lot of season left, and in no way, shape, or form am I counting out the Braves yet.
Pasted:
Bryce Harper (elbow) has X-rays return negative
Bryce Harper had X-rays come back negative for any fractures on his elbow injury.
Harper was diagnosed with a right elbow contusion. He appears to have avoided a serious injury and is day-to-day for now.
Phillies in a bit of a tailspin.
Need to snap out of it quickly.
Phillies have righted the ship and now playing some better baseball.
Braves have almost dropped out of it.
Still a long way to go.
Good to see the Phillies take 2 outa 3 from the Mets. Phillies regain the lead in the NL East.
Looks like it's gonna be a dogfight the rest of the season. The Braves have been slowly inching up, although still 10 games back.
Long way to go.
Mets in a bit of a tailspin at 2-8 in their last 10 games.
Lot of crazy chit going on in New York City with the upcoming mayor race, which of course we won't discuss here. Suffice to say, right now on Polymarket, the favorite at 75%, pledges to dramatically increase taxes on the rich. Which may hinder the ability of the Mets and Yankees to sign future players.
Phillies holding on to the NL East lead at 1.5 games.
Marlins just passed the Braves for third place in the NL East. Who woulda thunk that midway thru the season?

Almost unbelievable how the Braves were the preseason favorite to win the NL East, and are now a 1000-1 hopeless long shot.
If you desire betting $10 on the Braves to win the World Series. I would suggest tying a $10 bill to a pigeon's leg and watching it fly off. 💸
Phils up by a half game over the pesky Mets. I wish the Mets would soon revert back to their 1962 season.
The dogfight for the NL East continues.
Phillies have jumped out to a decent 2.5 game lead.
Mets are in a bit of a tailspin with a 3-7 record in their last ten games. Is Jerry Koosman available?
Now at + 3.5 games.
Braves now 18 games out and obviously headed to oblivion.
Still hard to believe.
Mets are 1-9 in their last 10 starts.
If only Marv Throneberry was still available.
Excuse me, Phillies now up by 4.5 games.
Mets are asking if Casey Stengel has a great grandson who might be interested in managing their team.
The Braves are like the Cowboys, contender talk until they actually play the games lol
I'm sorry, it's 5.5 games.
The Mets front office now in touch with Darryl Strawberry.
I would count it as 2.5 as the Phils still have another 3 games in Milwaukee. Mets are 0-6 this season and Phils are 0-3 so far. Good luck.

Brewers playing some dam good ball right now, that's for sure. 9 straight wins, and getting more love from the bookies.
Mets had a good game yesterday.
They didn't play.
Hopefully, Wheeler's clot issue can be resolved non-surgically. If they have to do a catheter, that's six weeks plus rehab.
Nola had a rough first start back.
Gotta turn Red October into Red November (if necessary).
Phils catching some bad breaks at the wrong time. But Wheeler's condition is too dangerous to fool around with. Those covid vaccine induced blood clots, if it was that, can kill you. One of my first cousins, healthy as a clam, didn't drink or smoke, never did drugs, always in good shape, star pitcher in college, 58 years old, suddenly dropped dead of a heart attack. His wife, including me, are convinced it was from the covid vaccine.
from AI: Bottom Line
Vaccines (particularly adenovirus-based) may very rarely cause a clotting disorder (TTS/VITT), but this risk is extremely low—on the order of 1 in a million.
In contrast, COVID-19 infection carries a much higher risk of clots and other severe complications.
For mRNA vaccines (e.g., Pfizer, Moderna), there is no evidence of increased clotting risk.
The overwhelming medical consensus remains that vaccination is far safer than risking COVID-19, and any concerns should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
I think you should share how you came to that conclusion to the world. The concept of just forming an opinion and then assuming it's true is applicable to so many different problems.
I apologize for not mentioning that I am sorry to hear about what happened to your cousin. Whether he was a statistic or a by-product or it was something completely unrelated I have no idea.
Go pollute some other thread with your BS as you too often seem to enjoy doing, okay? Thank you.
If you wanna talk smack here about the Phillies, that's fine.
Thank you for that, and I do not intend to discuss this further.
Well I merely looked it up and that’s what AI said. It’s not my BS. If you have information about vaccines that the world doesn’t have you shouldn’t keep that life-saving information to yourself. That’s unconscionable.
My point is that your argument isn’t with me. It’s with the world. I’m not a vaccine expert but I can read.
