Air quality in Chicago is horrific fromCanadian wildfires .Like NYC 2 weeks ago

Tonight’s game in jeopardy

[Christopher]

Man, interest in this team continues to dwindle.
Big game for Marsh tonight with the two home runs. If they win (not counting chickens yet), will he pour of cup of water on himself?

Suarez looking great, too. The pitching is really coming together, which is all the MORE reason to get a real fifth starter. Let pitching be our strength in the second half.

Suarez has been looking more like he did in 2021. Has just been great this year

Marsh has his OPS back up to .835

[bigel57]

Junior Valentine has surpassed CB Buckner as worst all time ball/strike umpire he is brutal

[FolesMVP09]

Sadly, the Giants & Marlins keep rolling - but Phils just need to keep winning series and hopefully things will balance out

[Christopher]

Right now some outs from Soto would be nice.

From your lips to Soto's arm....

The shine is really off Kody Clemens, huh?

So much hinges on whether Harper can play 1B. The Phillies are correctly playing their cards close to their vest on that.

[FolesMVP09]

Clemens and Sosa

They need to send down Clemens and give Hall a shot
