As the calendar turns from 2022, the city of Philadelphia will undoubtedly look back on the year’s unforgettable moments reminiscing a magical run in October. Baseball is back in a big way––the Phillies, who began the year 22-29, broke their decade-long playoff drought and came just two wins away from winning the World Series. The Bank was filled with 46,000 …
2022 After a thrilling playoff run, the Phillies fell just short, losing in the World Series. Like many in Philadelphia, I am still struggling with the loss. I have more feelings of what-ifs and sadness than disappointment. This team gave it everything they had, and unfortunately, they ran into a talented baseball club. There is no reason to be upset …
Well, Game 3 was fun. Games 4 and 5…not so much. The Phillies are down 3-2 in the World Series after losing the final two at Citizens Bank Park this week. With the series heading to Houston for its final stretch this weekend, the Phils certainly have their backs against the wall. The Astros, after winning 106 games this season, …

Yesterday afternoon, 45,538 fans packed into Citizens Bank Park anxiously anticipating the return of playoff baseball in South Philadelphia. It had been over a decade since the Phillies legendary PA announcer Dan Baker read the starting lineups before a postseason game. Over those long years, Baker announced lineup after lineup of no-name players––guys who came to Philly to resurrect what …
It almost seems impossible we’re here again. Another year, another September collapse. Regardless of how the season ends, whether the Phillies clinch a wild card spot or not, the past couple weeks have been alarming. This team and its $245 million payroll is too talented and too experienced to be playing this poorly––this lifeless––when it matters the most. A decade-long …
As we head full steam ahead to October, the Phillies are in a prime position to be one of the Wildcard teams from the National League. The 2022 season has been anything but a banner year for the team with several ups and downs. Early season struggles saw the Phils part way with former manager Joe Girardi, and then an …
The Phillies aren’t the only ones with a playoff drought on the line this September. Their second baseman, Jean Segura, has never played meaningful baseball in October in his 11 year big league career.
