Well, this time I honestly don't have a fantastic excuse as to why I haven't posted. Like usual, I've really just been stressed and down in the dumps. Life really is crazy and relentless at times. Ugh.

The Phillies completed their three game series against the Athletics on Sunday. It was really quite the series and as a fan of both teams, that was a satisfying watch! The Phillies won the series, but their nine game winning streak was snapped Sunday. Again, as a fan of both teams, it was at least cool on a personal level to see the A's snap the Phils streak. Better than any other team. Every single game of the series was highly competitive! Two of the three games were decided just by one run, and the one game that wasn't went to extra innings! The total score of the series was 17-14 in favor of the Phillies. A real treat! I could honestly go back and watch that series someday with joy. Quite a unique scenario for me in that regard.

The Phillies enter tonight's contest with the second best record in baseball. The Braves will be in town, and while the Phillies are comfortably ahead of the Braves in the NL East, with as much baseball there is left in the season, there is more than enough time for anything to happen. Also of course, this is the Braves, one of the Phillies' biggest rivals of all time. Can't allow them to have any hope whatsoever.

Ranger Suárez takes the mound for the Phillies to begin this big series. Citizens Bank Park will be ROCKING.

The Phillies are pretty much a third of the way through their 2025 campaign and looking pretty strong. It is a long season but, they can't get lulled to sleep by that notion! They're currently 34-19. Dominant teams are supposed to bury fringe teams like the Braves NOW so they are less likely to be in the race in September.

Let's go!
