Phillies series is going to be fun

[Sports Guy]

Great pitching matchups..sell out crowds.

Should be great viewing.

2 of the 3 best teams and arguably the leading contenders for CY in each league but is that the Sunday ESPn national game?  Nah..we got Boston vs NY!

That’s because ESPN cares about the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, Cardinals/Cubs series and then depending on how much time is left the rest of MLB gets a few crumbs of coverage.

Great to see on the broadcast that Friday and Saturday are sold out.

To be fair, the ratings are what they are.

We can't ask for more.  Our 3 best pitchers all lined up.

ESPN has not gotten over the Boston, NY rivalry, They think fans are interested seeing the Red Sox 13 games out!

According to the team website, Sunday is sold out as well. Standing room only tickets were going for close to $35 a pop.

Call me greedy, but I’ll ask for a sweep too.

I’m a bit more hyped for NY. I’ve never really noticed the Phillies, but by golly, I hope we clean their clock.

And I hope we make a mammoth trade in the next 15 hours or so, too.

Fixed that for you.

By the way, they are a business. They should care about money.

When those two rivals go at it, you can THROW their RECORDS RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW!  

Not really. Every year there's a pennant race and we need either the Red Sox or Yankees to beat the other, I tell myself that but it never happens. Yankees are probably going to roll them. They don't even have to face Houck.

Eh, we'll likely be throwing Suarez, Povich and Irvin against the Yankees so not exactly our best.

Wheeler-Burnes is really nice - for an over from the NL mercenary, dueling Wheeler maybe as engaging as any miscellaneous Yankee game.

Phillies without Trea and Realmuto are a little bit like Braves without Acuna and Strider.
