Phils in Five: Episode 94 – The End

Posted By: on November 7, 2022

Well if you told me I would spend a 75 degree evening watching the Phillies bullpen blow a game, I would expect it to be a fine way to spend a night in May, but we’re doing this in NOVEMBER? Thats right, the Phillies brought us full circle with a vintage choke job to turn a one run lead into a 4-1 loss handing the World Series Championship to the Houston Astros as the Phillies drop another winnable game. The losingest franchise in the history of mankind may not have piled up the MOST losses in 2022, but they did manage to earn the last loss of 2022. One more sad trombone before we go.

In this Episode:

  • Wheeler rested and ready
  • Yordan’s Joe Carter moment
  • Thanks Phillies

Phils in Five: Epsiode 93 – Backs Against the Wall

Posted By: on November 4, 2022

Wednesday night the Phillies couldn’t get a hit and Thursday they simply failed to get the big hit. It all adds up to two straight losses in the final two games at Citizens Bank Park and a 3-2 World Series deficit. We’ll hit the Sad Trombone for a rough couple of nights down in South Philly, BUT I am still confident it’s gonna be the last one we hit all year… Whom Whomp Whomp!
