But at least the Phillies are still alive and one game away from the World Series:
The Phillies dominated the Diamondbacks with pitching, offense, defense. They are coming home up 3 games to 2 with a chance to clinch another trip to the World Series tomorrow night https://t.co/Nzw4o4D7X1

Yeah, we shut out the Atlanta Braves in Game 1 of the playoffs, 3-0. What a game! Can’t wait to see them tonight.

My beloved Phillies beat the Marlins in two games to move on to the next round of the playoffs, this time against the Braves. After the win, the fans didn’t go home! They hung around for another hour, and I had trouble sleeping last night. “Eleven more, Topper!”

The @NLBMuseumKC joins the baseball world in mourning the passing of the great Brooks Robinson. I loved watching him play. He was a Hall of Famer on-and-off the field. We extend our condolences to the Robinson family, the @Orioles organization & his legion of fans! RIP!🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/aW68AruUfa

Here’s how it started, with a Reddit post that spread to local sports radio:

Somebody in this thread said, and I agree, "How can you not be romantic about baseball"? What a redemption arc for Turner this week❤️ #phillies #traeturner https://t.co/YGPwL6E2Qu

But I do!
Breaking: Bryce Harper has been cleared to play by the Phillies just 159 days after Tommy John surgery, sources tell @JeffPassan.

What a great game. So much fun to watch, especially Tyrese Maxey stealing the ball for a last minute trey. This should shut up all the people who say the Sixers can’t hustle. On the road, against the Celtics? Without Joel Embid? Damn.
By the way, the last time the Sixers won on the Celtics’ home turf was in 1981.
