Phillies need 2-3 more minimum to win this game. Way too many outs needed from Suarez/bullpen with a 1 run lead

Tie game.

I will never like him but Crappallanos doing all that he can to win tonight following up on his big game yesterday

Need more than 1 to win though

With most of these relievers, especially Kimbrel, it is like Russian Roulette

Really could use 2 more runs.

This team takes years off of my life as holding a lead is so stressful

Big win though

Cubs were down 4, but the Pirates are blowing it; 1 run and need 4 more outs

A win is a win.

Pirates get three in the 9th to go up 8-4

Edit: Cubs just hit two run homer to cut lead to 8-6 in bottom of 9th. Still no outs.

Pirates hold on

Which means that the Phils magic # will drop if either the Marlins or Cubs lose tomorrow

Both the Phils/Mets are off Monday

Based on the current forecast - Saturday looks iffy, Sunday looks like a big problem

Could be 1 or 2 games Monday

From the Phillies standpoint - if they can get Saturday's game in, moving Sunday's game to Monday won't be a big deal

However, if they have a DH Monday, it would create a mess with pitching if they don't clinch top seed by Friday

When Alvarado is locked in and throwing strikes, he is a handful.Is he now the closer or was Kimbrel unavailable?
