Corey is eyeballing another series MVP.

Smoked right at Adolis.

Dunning should be interesting.

The game has been fun so far. Arizona is doing their thing and hanging around.

The 40 years ago today thread made me realize that I somehow had zero recollection of the actual games in ‘83. It must be because I was whacked out if my gourd with transferred vengeance!

I had to watch game 7 of the ‘79 series with my Gettysburg cousins. They were die hard Philly fans and gleefully rooted for the Pirates simply to twist the knife. Ever since, I have gone Carrie on the Phillies.

The snakeskin series! Bust out your bolo ties!

The proverbially important first out…

Arizona has managed to never quite go away all season.

Rodrigo Lopez is doing color on the Diamondbacks Spanish language feed.

Wheeler escapes the sin of the leadoff walk…in the first inning…after your guys staked you to a two run lead…in game five of the NLCS.

That’s the kind of play Turner was (not) making last year that made the Dodgers say goodbye.

Trea ends the game with a K…or perhaps a trey.

Brandon Marsh is the only guy on the Phillies that I like.

The Diamondbacks take the lead. They seem to have finally realized that they are playing the Phillies.

Kimbrel is a bonfire. I was amazed he did as well as he did this year.

Until the ALCS.

Lol.

Manfred probably called down and demanded some drama.

The Diamondbacks live! Kimbrel was worse than Arizona’s base running in the 9th.

Ok, the series potential is shriveling.

For some reason I have zero memory of the actual games of that series. But I have convinced myself that I vividly remember my mom taking me (a few months before) to the sports card store in the Aspen Hill shopping center to buy me the Topps team set for my birthday. I have the cards, so it must have happened!

‘Zona is trying to get off the mat in the 4th. This series has potential.

They seem to have put the band back together. They might be on a mission from God.

The Texas defense has been the star of the playoffs so far.
