karen said...: It's time for us to make our big move!! The Dog Days are starting early this year. We all know how jazzed I am that we got Max Scherzer but I am so excited about Trea Turner. Whenever he's at bat or making a defensive play I feel like anything can happen just like with Mookie last season. And as soon as Mook is healthy again he'll be back to his amazing self.; 8/10/2021 5:15 AM

karen said...: IL Update...Kershaw put on 60 day IL. Mookie a late scratch and Doc says there may be another
stay on IL. Joe Kelly placed on 10 day IL, Doc didn't say why. JT probably out for a few days, should be in lineup Friday. THIS SUCKS!

Phillies the hottest team in the league, should be a tough series.; 8/10/2021 3:28 PM

karen said...: Possibility of another rain delay tonight. Philly staff is good at getting the field covered quickly Orel says so as long as the rain eventually stops, they'll get the game in.; 8/11/2021 4:10 PM
karen said...: Tre Turner made the greatest slide at home last night. It's all over the internet and JHair called it a little bit criminal and a little bit Michael Jackson.; 8/11/2021 4:15 PM
karen said...: Muncy and TT collide going after a foul off first and the ball drops but both guys are alright and Price gets the batter out on the next pitch.

Sky looking extremely nasty in Philly.; 8/11/2021 4:34 PM

karen said...: AJ Pollock brings in MVP to bring the lead to 6-2.; 8/11/2021 7:53 PM
karen said...: @Q7...If you see this, I just got a gander at Kevin Quackenbush whom the Dodgers recently signed. I kind of remember him pitching for the Royals about a lifetime ago. Please ask Mrs. Q7 if I am being overly judgmental or if that crazy Civil War beard is as horrible as I think it is.; 8/11/2021 7:58 PM
karen said...: Belli hits his second homer of the night to bring it to 8-2 LA in T9.; 8/11/2021 8:34 PM

Mitch White RHP; 8/12/2021 9:18 AM
karen said...: GOOD MORNING SoSG NATION!! A morning game which means time for Breakfast Burritos, right Dusty? Saxy is right...We are still 4 games back but we can take some heart because the friars are now 8 games back. It was mentioned last night that if the Boys were in the Eastern Division, where the Phillies are in first, the Dodgers would be in first by 9 games. Damn giants.; 8/12/2021 9:23 AM
karen said...: Excessive heat warning in Philly today with high humidity. All of the sudden I don't feel so bitchy about our heat wave.

Cole Hamels not expected to pitch until September. JT should be in the lineup this weekend.; 8/12/2021 9:37 AM
karen said...: Doc says the plan is to keep White as hydrated as possible and have him go as long as he can. I remember back in the day when there was turf in St. Louis and on really hot days Vin would say the infield would get up to 120 degrees and pitchers would lose 10-15 pounds.; 8/12/2021 10:23 AM
karen said...: Mitch White gives up a solo homer to Bryce Harper in the first. 1-0 Phils.; 8/12/2021 10:24 AM
karen said...: Through 4 -- 103 degrees in Philly. Phils up 2-0. Mitch White struggled some in fourth but has been nails through 3. Starting to look a little fatigued in the heat.; 8/12/2021 11:29 AM
karen said...: Trea Turner comes up repping the go ahead run with 1 out T5.; 8/12/2021 11:38 AM
karen said...: TT gets a RBI ground out to score Barnes. 2-1 Phillies.; 8/12/2021 11:43 AM
karen said...: Turner was called out at first on that grounder but Doc challenged and replays show first baseman clearly pulling his foot off the bag but New York called him out. Really bad call.

Vesia coming in to pick up for White in fifth. 2-1 Phillies.; 8/12/2021 11:47 AM
karen said...: KJ in to pitch bottom of the eighth, 2-1 Phillies.; 8/12/2021 12:53 PM
karen said...: Kenley sits 'em down in order. Time to harness the famous SoSG juju, LA going to the ninth down by 1.; 8/12/2021 1:00 PM
karen said...: Home Ump walks Corey on obvious strike 3 pitch. MVP repping tying run with 2 out in ninth.; 8/12/2021 1:06 PM
karen said...: Belli up AND HE TOO IS WALKED ON A STRIKE 3 PITCH. Girardi is tossed for expressing his displeasure. Fresh Prince up. 2 on 2 out.......; 8/12/2021 1:12 PM
karen said...: Fresh Prince hit by pitch. Bases loaded, Billy McKinney up......; 8/12/2021 1:17 PM
