Some Quick Thought On Philadelphia Fans

Full disclosure: I didn’t see the mayhem that occurred last night at the Flyers game when fans began throwing the gift bracelets onto the ice.  I didn’t see it because I was frustrated at the team’s play after the Capitals fourth goal and turned on the Phillies to calm down.  Surely the only time this season anyone has turned on the Phillies to avoid frustration.  But I didn’t have to watch this particular instance to know exactly what happened.  I’ve seen this display before.  Hell, I’ve probably even participated in a similar exposition at one time or another.

Up All Night to Watch the Pen Blow the Lead

Phillies @ Cincinnati Reds

Well so far in this 2016 season the Phillies are nothing if not consistent.  In both games against the Reds the Phillies got seven men on base in about thirty-three plate appearances and scored two runs.  They got outstanding efforts by their starting pitching only to see it washed away by abysmal relief pitching.  It’s almost like the majority of this team doesn’t have major league talent.  Who would have guessed?!
