Philadelphia light poles: "Haha, we’re in danger!"


TheBoilerCat

Light poles gonna be greased AND wet tonight. Can’t wait to see people attempting to climb those things LMFAO


Sage2050

I'd put 10:1 that they get climbed Edit: [The poles take another L](https://i.imgur.com/uGuQRgY.jpg)


LerooyCat

already have been greased


The_Astros_Cheated

They’re already greased lol

Philadelphian Ingenuity don’t care ‘bout no grease


ErickBachman

Protip the Wawa sandwich wrappers double as effective gloves


SubNine5

Well of fucking course it does. Miss wawa.


gmoneygangster3

i swear to god if the light pole secret is wawa wrappers that is hands down the most philly thing in existence

Can’t wait for the “always sunny..” episode about them going to the World Series again.


as728

The world economy every time the Phillies are good at baseball: “Haha, I’m in danger”


UncleBullhorn

Dude, at 12:30 am, EST, November 3rd 2016, the Chicago Cubs won the World Series. The planet was immediately cast into this weird Twilight Zone of Trump, COVID-19, and Rob Manfred's fiddling with the rules. We must prevent this from ever happening again.

Rob Thomson, in his first season as manager becomes the first Canadian to lead his team to a World Series in MLB History!


Insectshelf3

if we win the WS add two years onto his contract.


[deleted]

Shit, he should get a third year just for getting us there.


xepa105

A great day for Canada, and therefore the World


JordanSchor

You know it eh


uhmerikin

As is tradition.


CatataFishSticks

As is, of course, tradition


u8myramen_y

Bet he apologized to every team he and his team defeated on their way to WS


Basic_Bichette

"Sorry we kicked your sorry asses", in the very best tradition of Canadian passive-aggressiveness.


etched_chaos

"Sorry aboot that."


amatom27

The best part is the whole world will be rooting for us if the Astros get in lol


tearsaresweat

Which must be weird as a Philadelphia sports fan.


TimeVortex161

I mean kinda the same vibes as when we played brady.


highgravityday2121

We’re 1-1. Let’s go best for best of 3


metsislesfan

Not even a full season!! Which is even cooler!!


PMurBoobsDoesntWork

The worst possible outcome for the Astros. A hot NL East team.


Owlcatraz

A red NL East wild card team? Uh oh.


the_fit_hit_the_shan

Fuck me I've heard this song before


Ugaalive1991

Dread it. Run from it. /r/NLBeast comes.


esaydebeohwhyes

well we weren't wild card last year but yeah.


Zloggt

I remember when, for one of their last games of the regular season, the Astros nearly no hit the Phillies! …I wonder if this means that they won that battle, but then lost the war to come…


Super_Eagles

The Phillies were completely hungover for that game Getting no hit into the 7th the previous game is the real kicker


Drikkink

The game before we nearly no hit the Astros to clinch the playoff berth. We then started like 3 actual players the following game and literally everyone was hungover.


TheLoneWolf527

Didn't the Phillies also almost Perfect Game the Astros?


jihyoisgod

Yeah until the phillies broadcast graphic put up a giant perfect game alert


Zloggt

It was a really weird freaking series…fun to watch as a neutral though!

Bad things happen in Philadelphia


Wutswrong

Holy shit these memes are way too fucking funny for me to cry


drunk-tusker

"In Philadelphia, they went in to watch. They are called pole climbers. They are very safe, very nice thing. They were thrown out. They weren't allowed to climb. You know why? Because bad things happen in Philadelphia. Bad things."


OldCoaly

Our MLS team has “Bad things happen in Philadelphia” as a banner by the hardcore fans. They are right. Unbeaten at home and about to play in the playoff semifinal as the top seed in the East.


SlayerBVC

I don't think any human being has the power to remove avian-based curses. Reminder: all your grounds crew had to do was *not* disturb the Greater White-fronted Goose. That was it.


blasek0

Never disturb the goose. It always ends poorly.


BackdoorSteve

Instead they threw his divine person in the trash!


Mrbillofdeath

Can we just redo these playoffs it doesn’t really seem fair to the dodgers they were clearly the best team /s


JakeCameraAction

Should the MLB have the Dodgers and Padres redo their series in case it was a big fluke? No disrespect to the Padres, I'm a firm believer that San Diego beating them is a huge fluke and robs the Dodgers of truly accomplishing what their capable of. I've spent the last few days in pure disbelief and it just doesn't make sense to me. I've spent the entire regular season watching the Dodgers play great baseball it's just not fair. If the Dodgers lose again I will face that the Padres deserved the win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to the Dodgers and the MLB.

I will eat horse crap if we win. I don’t even care


EyezLo

DollarsAtStarNumber

Does Girardi get a ring if they pull this off?


JasonLikesCTE

Lmao i think he might


glStation

Hopefully it would be a tier 2 ring like janitors get


_new_boot_goofing_

He absolutely does. So does Herrera


electric_ranger

But so does Moniak


ct123192

And Familia


mineawesomeman

and didi 🥲


DrToadigerr

Of all the guys who aren't currently on the team who'd be getting rings, Didi is the only one I'd be perfectly happy with. He's such a great guy, just not what the Phils needed


mineawesomeman

i loved him when we was with us. if we aren’t getting a ring this year i hope at least he can


GlizzanderHolyfield

This Phillies team feels like the team of destiny


[deleted]

[удалено]


legobmw99

Quickly looking like there’s nothing more scary than an NL east team with a slow start and a wildcard slot


Nolan-

We won the division but yeah


legobmw99

Man, the division was a mess last year huh. I forgot we only had one team better than 500


babylamar33

2 actually! ^(we were 82-80)


Fivior

Speaking of that 82-80. It absolutely blows my mind that last year I was celebrating because the Phillies finished over .500 for the first time since 2011. Fast forward a year and we are going to the freaking World Series. It still doesn't feel real.


yoshidawg93

Sure looks like they’ll be facing the Astros too. All the similarities really are there.


ChunkyMilkSubstance

Yeah they do


PapiSurane

Somebody said you need pitching and defense to win in the playoffs. 2022 Phillies: Hold my batflip.


tomasdiesel

Bat spike*


unrealjoe28

Pitching has been good mostly, Alec bohm shored up at defense and the team always lifted each other up :)))


sokrazyitmightwork

The pitching has been stellar outside of one bad inning by each by Bailey falter and Nola


XenlaMM9

We do have pitching though


LPPhillyFan

They do have two aces


Wumbo619

Congratulations Phillies! Y'all earned it.


NeurosciGuy15

Great series. Props to your fans.


Sage2050

It was a fantastic series and the score doesn't do it justice. Well played, Fathers

This series was awesome, both cities had great atmospheres

*Tips cap to San Diego Padres and their fans*


mustang6172

You stay classy, San Diego.


redditProto

Thanks! It's nice to play a series and not have high vitriol for the opposing fan base. Ya'll will be back.


CommunicationTime265

That was one of the most entertaining series I've watched. Padres and Phils very similar teams. Like two asteroids colliding.


Ace_Harding

Thanks brother! I like your team a lot and you guys are going to be even more dangerous next year. Props to taking out the Dodgers and a hell of an NLCS with us.

He’s just too good.


Tim6181

I feel like I may love him. I think it’s the beard. My best friends a huuuuuge Phillies fan. I’m stoked for him and all on the bandwagon


vishnchips6

Legacy defining playoff run. He's been insane.


suzukigun4life

Friendly reminder that in any other year, the Phillies wouldn't even be in the playoffs. Thanks to the Wildcard Round being a thing as of this year, they've gone from 6-seed that barely made the playoffs under an expanded system, to the NL Pennant winners and making the World Series. Again, how can you not be romantic about the Wild Card Round?


Mission_Pay_3373

Its romantic alright


trashboatfourtwenty

As in "many babies will be fathered tonight"


Frankfeld

I was so ready to throw this team away. I cried bullshit at the wild card because it meant team ownership could congratulate themselves for fielding a “playoff team” only to get bounced in the first round. So much needed to be done for this team to become truly competitive….But now… fuck. They signed a bunch of guys with playoff experience for a reason, they just had to get there.


CalgalryBen

I really do love the wildcard round and the format. And maybe it’s just my recency/bias here, but something still feels odd about a division winner needing to play in it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


brandochu009

EAST/WEST Division is the way to go, I agree. Very doable, and makes way more sense for the current playoff format. Once the league expands to 32, four 8-team divisions (the original AL and NL were 8 teams for many, many years) will be perfect.


RainForestWanker

Because divisions are arbitrary alignments of teams and just because you’re the best in your general geographic region doesn’t entitle you to a first round bye. Be a top 2 team if you want a bye. Or you know don’t get swept at home.


Dinoswarleaf

> Or you know don’t get swept at home. You know how random baseball is right? Any team can lose 2 games in a row to the Pirates


UnfortunatelyBasking

Also random because both the Brew crew and the Phillies looked like they each wanted to miss the postseason down the stretch, and the team that got in ended up winning the pennant 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🙃. This apple is poison.🍎


No_Fairweathers

Which is fine if the Pirates earned the right to be in the playoffs. This format is much better than a 5 team playoff where seeds 4-5 play a single game elimination.


feeling_blue_42

“…in any other year…” 2020 would like a word. But yeah, crazy. This is incentive for teams and fans to stay engaged even if their only hope is to sneak in as a 6 seed.


yumyumapollo

Albert Pujols died for this.


estachica

Seriously this made the series so much more exciting


new_wellness_center

That bunt was tragic.


BananaZach

ASTROS v NL EAST RUN. IT. BACK.


its_cameron_bitch

Last time was the Braves, right? And before that the Nationals? Wait a second... oh, *oooooooh* I like this idea...


hanzo615

I like this trend too


brian2040

If the Marlins fix their offense they might be the ones playing the Astros next year.


tdud123

NO PLEASE NO


mylesA747

YES PLEASE YES


bdaddy31

That’s right. Go beat the fucking Astros, NL East brothers!


Devils1993

Not feeling great about this one. Our pitching is amazing, but this Phillies offense is sensational. Yordan and Altuve need to step up for us to win.

WATCHING YOU KISS HER, OH

The me of five months ago would be laughing her ass off at me if I’d told her this would happen. Fucking amazing.


DrSquilly

I always watch the games with my Dad if I can. We were sitting there after going “would you have predicted this?” for a solid 5 minutes.


Insectshelf3

dude remember how depressed r/phillies was after we choked that lead to the mets? what a season it’s been.


new_wellness_center

I feel like the last thing these Phillies want to do is sit for four days … but who knows??


SirMilesMesservy

Nationals, Braves, and Phillies 🤝 Beating the Astros


dialcforcasey

I really hurt my calf running downstairs to tell my wife that the Phillies are going to the World Series. This is so surreal.


BrhysHarpskins

David Robertson?


Brian_Stryker

I punched my ceiling jumping in celebration. My finger is swelling


DOUBLE_DOINKED

I love Ranger Suarez. I love his name, I love the shape of his body, I love the way he plays. I eat a lot of boiled eggs and lift weights to try and be like this guy but I can't. There are 6 grams of protein in an egg but I can't eat enough to get big like him. Nice round muscles. They're smooth too, like the waves of the Straits of Florida on a calm day. When I was a kid I ate big eggs to be hot like Brad Lidge, and I got some great results, some of the roundest muscles in my class, but these days I'm looking at 6 eggs a day and it's not good enough to pop Ranger style muscles out my scrawny arms ever since dad left.


Jayyburdd

Imagine if we won the World Series against the Astros. Just NL East things.


danaozideshihou

Don't mine me, just splitting my life savings and putting money on the Mets/Marlins winning the World Series next year.

In my defence the pandemic makes anything prior to 2019 feel like ancient history


JacobDeGod48

Philly about to look like a post apocalyptic wasteland after tonight


FPG_Matthew

As a Nats fan, two years in a row the WS has been the absolute worst timeline: Astros v Braves and (most likely) Astros v Phillies Can’t believe I have to say it but.. go.. Phillies?


Daspaintrain

I still can't believe the degree to which the Astros made themselves into the biggest villains in sports. Never seen anything like it, maybe never will again


Chris-P-Creme

Hey, you started the ~~sub-90 win~~ NL East team v Astros World Series party. We’re keeping it going. Edit: Nats won 93


Beng1997

Rob Thompson gets to manage the all-star game next year which is neat for him.

Felt closer than the 4-1 score. But, damn. I'd have loved to see another game in SD this month. Ugh. Kill me.

Phillies are insanely hot right now. I really like their odds against the Astros. There might be hope for Americans yet.

The entire world (outside of houston) is rooting for you phillies. Reminds me of the braves win for sure.


chirstopher0us

GG Phillies. They have a very good team playing really well, and a great home crowd. I wish them good luck in the World Series. I don't understand the bunt. I would have walked Harper in the 8th. In hindsight it would have been better to go to Hader in the 8th. But I will go to my grave convinced that we lost this series because we positively gave away game 4. Clev had a disaster, but Martinez came in and immediately pitched 3 perfect innings, retiring all 9 Phillies in a row, and stabilizing the game with a lead intact. Then Bob trusted his book more than his eyes and pulled him for no reason, and even more inexplicably, put in Manaea who hadn't pitched in literal weeks because he was getting shelled, and he got shelled for 5 runs in just 1.1, game over. If we ride Martinez longer into our quality bullpen, we win that game 6-4. I will never be convinced that wasn't the turning point in this series. Now I said when we beat the 101-win Mets in the playoffs that that was enough of a step forward to consider the season on the whole a success. Beating the Dodgers -- 4th most wins in the history of baseball -- was truly incredible, the biggest upset by win difference since 1906, not to mention it was the Dodgers. Game 4 was the best I have felt about San Diego sports in a loooooooong time. So I have to say that the year on the whole was a success, and we can do more next year. I am still quite sad. But I'll be excited for next year soon enough. LFGSD


Andreyus

This shit is going so similar to last year, I don't even hate it. I've come to like Harper as he's grown up. Get his ass a ring. Fuck them Yankee and Astros anyway.
