00:00I felt like I wanted to die as a Phillies fan this weekend, that's for sure.

00:04I wanted to go an hour without them.

00:07Ay-yi-yi!

00:08They turned us into tiny American pigmy shrews this weekend.

00:13Alright, so let's get into it.

00:14A lot to get into.

00:15Obviously, the Eagles played a game on Friday.

00:18Not everyone played, we'll get to that.

00:19Let's start with the Phillies.

00:21Obviously we came in on Friday after the win against the Diamondbacks, the first game of

00:27the series.

00:28Coming off the actually winning a series against the Dodgers, the hopes were, we're back!

00:34We were feeling good about the team.

00:36And since then, just about as bad a weekend as you could possibly have.

00:41The Friday night walk-off first pitch from Jeff Hoffman, the frickin' backup catcher.

00:47First home run of his frickin' career, of course, lose that way.

00:52And then just, then the weekend was over.

00:54Then they just get trounced.

00:55They give up 23 runs over the next two games, John.

01:00And it was bad.

01:01It was ugly.

01:02And it looked disgusting.

01:03It was ugly.

01:04It was ugly.

01:05The baseball was gross.

01:06And, you know, there's no change in that.

01:11We know that these guys just were not focused the way they needed to be.

01:17The West Coast swings, historically, we know they're tough on a team.

01:22But man, I truly did imagine that we were emerging from the other side of something.

01:30And I thought that this had started out well, the way we played against the Dodgers.

01:35Even the way we played out the gates against Arizona.

01:39You know, it felt like, phew, they're a tough team, but we're, you know, neck and neck.

01:45And we're showing we got some resiliency.

01:47And then, holy cow, we did not show any resiliency whatsoever.

01:52It was, maybe it was the way that we lost, wasn't it?

01:55It was the Hoffman, unlikely Homer, walk-off Homer last Friday.

02:02It just, you know, holy cow, that's Jeff Hoffman.

02:05That doesn't happen to Jeff Hoffman.

02:06It just, it felt like a blip that we could just say, oh, it's a passing pain.

02:14Never happened again.

02:16But then it did.

02:18And then it got worse.

02:19And then the bats went quieter and it didn't matter how good anyone pitched because we

02:25were asleep at the plate and our approach got worse.

02:30And we started once again, pressing and the leaders got frustrated and story of the, you

02:36know, recent season, we're watching our team look like just a pale facsimile of the team

02:45we thought we had just a, I don't know, a month ago, just before the all-star break.

02:50This team, holy cow, all eight cylinders.

02:54Now we got, we got one left maybe.

02:57And I, I hope, I hope, I, I don't think this is our team.
