I just had a feeling earlier in the week that we'd lose yesterday. Just a very weird game, another one of those things where it just seemed like everything that could go wrong did.

It happens, and I didn't think we'd sweep. At the end of the day, if we win just one out there, the series is over. Get to them tonight, and what happened yesterday doesn't matter. We can hit their BP, we've done it before. And even in a winning effort, Arizona had to scratch and claw for everything while we sputtered a bit.

I still like our chances.

I knew we were going to lose when I heard Brian Anderson say, without irony, “the mighty Phillies”. Uh uh. No. We can’t be having that kind of talk about our sports teams.

Is Wheeler going tonight?

Nope, it's Christopher Sanchez for the Phillies and a bullpen game for the Diamondbacks. Sanchez pitches similar to Ranger Suarez and the majority of their bullpen doesn't worry me, so I like our chances.

The City had to be knocked down a few pegs. People were just being ridiculous.

Yep, I didn't like a lot of the things I saw and read after Game 2. Buying tickets so Arizona fans can't, talking about celebrating in their pool, the team posting a picture with the Phanatic alluding to a sweep, talking about the next opponent already. Don't tempt the Baseball Gods.

Hubris...a dangerous thing.

I’ve been going to the Phillies Reddit just to see what people are saying, and damn if some of the fan base isn’t completely unlikeable. I got the impression some were fair weather fans who become rabid, pompous, hardcore fans when things are going good. I don’t want to say the loss was a good thing but it’s nice to see some dial it back a little. Plus I want as little break as possible

Yeah I think we see a slugfest tonight. Someone is winning like 7-6 or 8-7.
