OK Tom - they might make it, as right now they are in the playoffs. Nola should be good to go - IF Painter has learned enough to pitch effectively.

Walk-off HR by Schwarber, and the Fightins score 6 in the bottom of the 9th to win 6-4!!!

Wow, they looked terrible at the plate today, until the 9th

Are you kidding?!
Checked the score before leaving the grocery store and it was 4-0 with 2 outs in the ninth. Got home and 6-4!!!!

yeah, I almost turned it off, as I have several things to do. But, I decided to hang in there a few more minutes, and pure amazement as it unfolded.

Marmol is going to get blistered for not making the pitching change. Fun fact - Marmol managed the State College Spikes back when they were a Cardinals affiliate.

I gave up on the Phils just before they started this hot streak.

You're welcome.

Nothing like a good old fashion pennant race in September.

Time to come to a decision - Painter is only a Minor League pitcher and that is all - time to move on.

This isn’t aging well and it’s only a week old

After Sunday's (8/23) heroics:

In the East:
- 3 back of the Braves
- 6 up on the Marlins

In the Wild Card:
- 2nd of 3 teams
- 2 back of the Cubs
- 2 up on the Padres
--------------------
- 4 up on the Diamondbacks
- 6 up on the Marlins
- 7 1/2 up on the Cardinals
- 10 1/2 up on the Pirates

Note a lot of movement, as the Braves, Marlins, Cubs, and Diamondbacks won on Sunday. The Cardinals (obviously) and the Pirates lost

Ranger Suarez last 6 starts. Could be just a bad run, but didn't he have late-season issues with the Phillies?

We’ve got a Zack Wheeler problem. Hopefully just a tired arm, but he’s not been looking good for several starts
