[BelmontShore]

Phillies clinch the division today.

Need to get Nola out now. He's starting his implosion here in the 6th.

[ScottishEagle]

Hi guys.

It’s been a long 13 years.

It’s so sweet.

[wrench248]

Ring that bell!

NL East Champions

[BelmontShore]

Division Clinched, bitches.

[Captain Obvious]

Happy they got the East.

Most likely getting the bye.

Man we got some issues gong into this though. This is going to be arguably the toughest hill for them to climb into the World Series.

[Skyjack]

The Phillies have swung at 39.2% of the balls pitched to them that we’re outside of the strike zone resulting in a 30.5 percent strike out rate over the last week or so. That is a ticket to defeat in the POs.
