Championship Series - Philadelphia Phillies v Arizona Diamondbacks - Game Seven

I just don’t want to talk about it right now.

On to the links.

Phillies news:

This loss is going to linger on with the fans and with the players for a long, long time.
The season is over, so now it’s time to turn thoughts to 2024. That means wondering what will happen with Rhys Hoskins.
The adjective “disgusting” is used in this headline and yeah, I can see that.
Nearly three quarters of a billion dollars in the Phillies lineup just vanished when the team needed them the most.

MLB news:

Honestly, hats off to the Diamondbacks. They made the adjustments and deserved to win this pennant. They could be a problem for a while.
The Giants may have a new manager in Bob Melvin, but until they get more talent, they’ll still be third or fourth fiddle in that division.
Don’t worry folks. The long national nightmare about who will head up the Red Sox is finally over with Craig Breslow accepting the job.
