At this point, we need that guy eating chicken behind the Walmart 24|7

MIDDLETON:OK now what? DOMBROWSKI: I have this boombox so I’m going to stand outside Alex’s window PRESTON MATTINGLY: I could ask my dad again DON MATTINGLY:C’mon dude MIDDLETON:Rob is still under contract right? ROB THOMSON (passing by on roller blades) Get bent, eh?

Make Dombrowski be the manager

So in addition to the Phillies podcast, I also have another show rat you should listen to. The worlds don’t often collide but when they do it, it’s quite jarring.

$700 million payroll on the Dodgers can’t get a net that functions? Block out!

DID YOU KNOW - the Phillies have only won a winner take all game once in franchise history. And if tonight is anything like that game in 1980, we are all going home in bags. 

I agree with the decision to start Nola and the decision to start drinking immediately

The Phillies playing a do or die game at a moving start time with an undetermined group of pitchers is SO Phillies

The Phillies were 18–7 in the postseason before they got on the plane to Arizona and 3–11 since I need Pablo Torre to find out what the hell happened on that flight

That was a great baseball game and I never wanna talk about it again

 And now the bullpen outs. See you all in hell.

I’ve had a weird relationship with this Phillies team for a while now, I still have major legitimate concerns about all of it. But as soon as Franzke opens the game with his essay and I see those stupid braves on the field I’ll be where I need to be, ready to be hurt again. That’s how this works

My main hope for the Phillies – Braves series is that at the end of it, blooper doesn’t get to say anything

Every talk show host in the city is rubbing their hands together, waiting to crush the Phillies for celebrating this game because of course

They should have made Donbrowski start, he’s why we’re here

You shouldn’t be allowed to celebrate with champagne if you back into the postseason. Should be eggnog or decaf coffee or that soda that’s not really soda
