OK. We're clearly not in the Braves' league (Atlanta-Texas World Series??).

But I would like to at least clobber the Mets the weekend. Maybe help stick the dagger deeper in their $364 million payroll season.

Please do not lose this series. Cannot stand all the Mets “owning the Phillies” talking on WFAN.

Will the Phillies play tonight? Team’s forecast calls for steady rain until 7 or 8, then scattered stuff after. There is a call soon between the teams and league to talk. Big crowd expected. Do they want to make everyone wait again?

I really hate when they brag about the participation trophies that they got for dominating the Phils during the 2022 season. So jealous of the season that they had last year......

Don't know about tonight's game, but it's been announced that the Phillies will play the Mets in LONDON on June 8-9, 2024

Walker has really been great of late. Nice to see Marsh hitting again

Meanwhile - Reds score 11 vs the Braves....

Man oh man. Walker has become an out and out beast. The starting pitching is now the strength of the team now that Walker and Suarez are so dialed in. The defense remains their greatest weakness with the inconsistent and poor batting approach as the reasons for struggles.

The Phillies were Phillies-esque tonight, but the Mets out-Phillied the Phillies. They are a dead team walking right and let's just not wake them up this weekend.

All the Phillies can do is keep winning as much as possible.
Can't control the Reds, Marlins, Giants, etc.

Well, the Reds could win the division - so that would put the Brewers in the WC mix

Just amazing how quickly they turned it around
