If September call-ups were still what they used to be the lineup would look A LOT different lol. Back then you could have everyone on your 40-man active roster with the MLB team if you wanted. Now it's expanded to I think 28 players. (so an additional 2 players can be added in September)

2008 Phillies the day after they clinched the NL East.

So Taguchi-LF
Eric Bruntlett-SS
Tadahito Iguchi-2B
Geoff Jenkins-RF
Chris Coste-1B
Mike Cervenak-3B
Greg Golson-CF
Lou Mason-C

The redemption homer

Never knew that was a Robyn song. That's a blast from the past.

Coming back to this because I'm a music nerd and think it deserves clearing up. It's also some magnitude of interesting.

Calum Scott covered Dancing On My Own like 5 years after the initial international splash the original made. He just did it on YouTube on his personal channel when he was a teen. It garnered some interest (nothing world breaking) but it eventually led him to audition on Britain's Got Talent a year or 2 later where he performed it live. This time it got major exposure and after signing a record deal later on after the show, he released it as his first single. Then the record label released a few EDM remixes of it, including Tiesto's. And here we are. Calum Scott ended up turning into a pretty popular artist

Interesting story. I remember Robyn from Q102 in the 90's. They played a ton of that club/house type of music back then.

Aretha Franklin's most iconic hit was also (ironically) a cover.

Respect? That's Otis Redding - great line from Live at Monterey Pop:

"This is a song that a girl took away from me," Otis told the crowd. "But I'm still going to do it anyway."

My mom just said Nola is "pacing himself" in our group chat. I will choose to believe this

Hopefully it doesn’t start a curse with the Phillies like it did with Cubs.

 

[Rebels57]

Lol this team is even more hungover than I expected

 

[Jack Straw]

Ho-hum. Johan with another gem in CF.

 

[Magua]

That was for you @DancingPanther . He’s not just a bunt machine.

 

[Jack Straw]

Stubbs bomb

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Can Middleton buy Comcast? Such a stark difference between 2 of the 4 big teams in Philly.

Also, Stubbs haters can suck it. Plan the damn parade!

 

[Rebels57]

Lmfao Stubbs gets hammered last night then hits his first homer of the season tonight
