Philly

Although the Phillies have been losing against the Atlanta Braves, it’s giving me hope. The Braves are the best team in a long time, and the Phillies are holding their own.

We went to another Phillies game yesterday with a friend. We walked around more than last time, when it was ridiculously hot and humid. While wandering around, we wound up out beyond the outfield, and when we were in Ashburn Alley, I predicted Kyle Schwarber’s leadoff home run.

That Phillies game was hard to watch on TV today. There was no reason for the actual game to be on a small portion of the screen.

The Phillies game last night was one of the best I can remember watching that didn’t occur in the playoffs. I wish I could have been at that game.

This year, my girlfriend got us Phillies tickets for my birthday. I got the train tickets. It was her first game and my first one since the 1990s.

I happened to see a link to an old recording of Action News from Philly. It brought back plenty of memories. My mom always turned on the news in the morning and evening.

This season has been fun while it lasted as a Phillies fan, starting near the middle of the season. Sadly, but as expected, they lost the world series, but it was a good run.

The Phillies are going to be in the World Series again. It’s not something that I’ve gotten to see of ten as fan but they’re going this year!

One of those things that I always found interesting was how you really never hear the Philly accent on TV or even in movies for that matter. If it is ever attempted, it is almost always totally butchered.

The NWS in Philadelphia has confirmed 7 tornadoes that came from Ida. It was just a few weeks ago they confirmed ten if I am remembering correctly.

With the remnants of what was Hurricane Ida approaching the and passing the area, it brought all sorts of extreme weather for this area and the entire region, really. Flooding all over the place and some tornadoes were the main features.

This Eagles season has sucked. The offense has been a steaming pile of shit. There’s one more game though and I will watch it.

The story of the 2020 Eagles is that they suck. At least something is giving me that impression of that being the case.

There are two things that I miss from breakfast around here that you just don’t really see that often. Back in Andalusia I wold often get a pork roll and cheese sandwich. You also don’t see Scrapple around here as much on menus.

It was a nice surprise to see the Flyers win in overtime last night against the Islanders. I didn’t expect much from them after so many years of seeing that team under perform.

The Flyers have been pretty fun to watch again recently. Now they’re going to the second round of the Playoffs. Hope there’s a cup in the near future!

I could eat a legit cheese steak right now. I mean a good Philly type one, not one that you typically can find around here that’s called a Philly Cheese steak, but it’s all wrong.

The Flyers have been fun to watch again. I’ve finally had a chance to watch some hockey and have enjoyed it.

I could eat some potato chips with cream cheese right now. Molly thinks it’s weird, but I really enjoy it.

Every once in a while I see a post that reminds me of old school ECW that was based in Philly. I really enjoyed watching that from the time I stumbled on it on some TV channel in the middle of the night.

Last Sunday’s game was fun to watch. That missed field goal though! I never saw the timeout thing work as the kicker is about to kick but it seemed to there.

One of the things that I miss about growing up in the Philly area is how readily available soft pretzels were. Everyplace sold them. Shit, in the city they were sold on some corners.

Every time I go through Amtrak’s 30th street station it reminds me just how cool of a building it is.

A couple of years ago, I started getting interested in watching the Phillies again. Now I am enjoying it even more since they’re doing well.

Philly sports seem right now. The Eagles lost.

I haven’t watched baseball nearly as much as I did back in the day I do still enjoy it. The fact that they’re hard to find on TV doesn’t help matters. The Phillies will be in the World series and I’m looking forward to watching it!

Molly had jury duty earlier this week in Philly. We were going to get a hotel in center city but ended up staying at my parents’ house. She ended up not being needed but still had the day off so we wandered around Philly caching after taking the train from Bensalem. I was really surprised that there was a cache hidden on Jewelers Row.

The Phillies have been around for long time. They even got their ten thousandth loss! Thta’s such a Philly sports thing to do!

Well the Eagles lost last night to the Saints. It didn’t surprise me at all because Philly teams are cursed to lose. It was a close game and fun to watch.

Here it is now October and the Phillies are still playing. The Eagles have yet to lose a regular season game. Such a strange year for Philly sports.
