after 4 innings of major league baseball under his belt, I am declaring Weston Wilson the right handed bat we needed at the deadline. we were outsmarted by Dave again.
SCENE: A maintenance shed owned by the City of Philadelphia.
With glistening tears, a maintenance worker puts a jar of Crisco back on the shelf.
“Maybe next year,” he says, patting the jar lovingly. “Maybe next year.”
The poles remain climbable. But no one wants to climb.
Can’t believe the Phillies really took a ride to the World Series and gave the best team in baseball their only 2 losses of the playoffs. So many moments to be proud of, the city was fucking electric from October into November. That was one hell of a season from the Fightins.
An incredible, improbable, unforgettable season draws to a close.
The 2022 Phillies were a hell of a ride. Be happy, be sad. Grieve or celebrate.
It was a pretty awesome run while it lasted.
