@SportsRadioWIP@SpikeEskin Bryce should never be criticized by anybody in Philly. The Phillies were, and would still be, irrelevant before he signed here. He is the reason meaningful baseball came back to Philly. Not to mention he’s won an MVP, has incredible postseason stats, etc. etc. etc.
Since Roy Halladay’s debut in 1998, no pitcher has topped his 20 shutouts or come close to his 67 complete games.
The durable ace of the @BlueJays and @Phillies was born #OTD in 1977.
Pour one out for Rob Thomson.
He had a .568 winning percentage over five seasons as manager, the highest for a Phillies manager in franchise history.
You’d have to imagine that record will stand for a long time.
Today marks 15 years since Ellen Rae Greenberg was murdered in her Philadelphia apartment.
For 15 years, the City of Philadelphia has maintained that Ellen took her own life. Fifteen years later, that claim still defies common sense and the evidence itself.
Ellen was a 27 year old first grade teacher. She was engaged and actively planning a wedding. She had future plans, responsibilities, and people who loved her deeply.
She was found with more than 20 stab wounds, including roughly half to the back of her head and neck. Some pierced her spinal column and entered her brain stem. The knife was embedded in her chest.
Multiple experts have stated that injuries like these would have immediately compromised her ability to move, yet additional wounds were inflicted afterward.
Still, the manner of death was ruled a suicide.
Not by a jury.
Not after a trial.
Not through an adversarial process.
It was decided behind closed doors and has been protected ever since.
Over the years, Ellen’s parents have become investigators themselves. They’ve hired independent forensic pathologists, filed lawsuits, and forced evidence into the light that never should have been buried.
Renowned medical experts who have reviewed the autopsy have concluded her death was a homicide. Not ambiguous. Not questionable. A homicide.
Yet the City of Philadelphia continues to fight, not to find the truth, but to preserve an indefensible ruling.
This case isn’t just about Ellen. It’s about what happens when institutions choose liability over truth, when officials close ranks instead of reopening files, and when a family is told, year after year, to stop asking questions.
Fifteen years later, Ellen’s parents are still asking for one simple thing.
The truth.
Please share Ellen’s story.

@SportsRadioWIP@JackFritzWIP@SpikeEskin@Ike58Reese@AfternoonsWIP The Mets got worse. Alonso better than Bichette, Nimmo better than Robert, Semien is washed, Peralta is solid but not anywhere near worth the prospects they gave up. Don’t blame the Phillies for your irrational expectations for what we’d do this offseason
