@StephLuvsSports Dang @StephLuvsSports. I was at the game, too. And enjoyed watching deGrom pitch, and secure a milestone win, even though the Birds lost. His fastball seemed lively from my cheap seat in the loge.
@cardscookie I paid good money to see them twice many years ago (once in Busch II), and now the sound of Kevin Cronin’s voice is like a dagger in my ears.
@AugieNash My aunt was a flight attendant for Ozark. We donated quite a bit of her memorabilia to the TWA museum in KC.
Saved a deck of Ozark playing cards.
The end of the @Phillies and @Dodgers game yesterday was hard to watch obviously because of how it ended. I woke up this morning still devastated for Orion Kerkering. But I’ll tell you what I did see: In a moment of total disbelief and heartbreak that their season ended so abruptly, catcher JT Realmuto consoling Orion. Nick Castellanos running in from right field to put his arms around Orion. Manager Rob Thomson waiting at the top step for his pitcher to hug him and remind him that he was loved. Sometimes we think so much about outcomes and performances that we forget that these are just people. With real emotions. And in that moment Orion had his team loving all over him because when you play with somebody for 162, plus spring training, plus playoffs… you become family.
Were they sad they lost? Of course. But their heartbreak for Orion and support for him was clear and great to witness. In a moment of defeat and total shock , the Phillies showed true class and support for their young player who made a mistake.
Well done Phillies.
And congrats Dodgers.
