Outside of Wheeler's leftover recovery time from last year (and I guess whatever's going on with Aidan Miller), Phillies have been kinda crazy lucky this year health-wise. If Brad Keller and Adolis Garcia are our necessary sacrifices on that front that seems reasonable enough.

more like manuel gött'em

lol can't believe I missed Manuel Göttsching giving LCD Soundsystem such a bitchy You Know Nothing of My Work reading back in the day for '45:33'

The culture dearly misses the Best Pop Performance by a Duo or a Group With Vocal Grammy. Nowhere else in award show history will you find Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" and MGMT's "Kids" losing to two different Black Eyed Peas songs.

I very much enjoyed reading this. Personally I have accepted and do not hugely mind the idea of people talking about me behind my back, but I am terrified of one day accidentally hearing what they are saying.

ok put duran in for the save

"Michael Irvin, Santa Claus, and Jordan Walker of the St. Louis Cardinals..."

I love how there's so many Phillies in this it looks like it almost has to be AI

a klezmer sax man's dream parody

The Phillies are 54-43. When Cristopher Sanchez, Zack Wheeler, and Jesus Luzardo start the Phillies are 40-14. When Aaron Nola starts the Phillies are somehow 9-10. Anyone else is 5-19. Just a competent 5th starter would have us tied for the best record in baseball with the Dodgers. Crazy.

Attention L7 fans: well this is some bullshit. Spread the word and chip in if you can. (Further, per a note from the band, looking ahead to their farewell tour: "Jennifer has asked L7 to continue with the tour as planned, which the band has made the decision to do.")

I also heard "Run from the sun like Dracula" and the revelation (which I long refused to accept) that it is actually "Run from the sunlight, Dracula" makes me like the song 20% less

I love this chart

nope

If the Trea throw was ruled an error I don't understand how Sanchez gets tagged for all six runs as earned?

Lorenzo Brown 10 minutes before he's sent back down to Delaware

I am not sure if I actually like this decently viral digicore (?) song but I am rooting for it to hit the Hot 100 because I can't remember the last time a song without any kind of obvious precedent on the chart did www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4R7...

Efficient despite her garrulousness, dependent on nostalgia as Taylor Swift is to narrative, CONFESSIONS II is dotty about the artist's obsession over her iconicity; if she weren't the album would have sucked. My review of Madonna's latest. wp.me/pzXeC-lui

I mean *obviously*

He should choose Nola

I bet the lesbians for Brandon Marsh are very happy for him.

Personally surprising to me to learn that Monty Python is apparently from Philadelphia but hey that's what this countdown is good for

Rap songs I feel confident are still to come: P.S.K. "What Does It Mean" You Got Me Dreams and Nightmares Summertime Think that might be it? (Maybe "Just Wanna Rock" and/or a Tierra Whack song too?) Give the edge to Roots prediction-wise bc it feels a little XPNier + has the Jill Scott bonus.

My XPN Philly Top 10 Prediction: 10. Fly Eagles Fly 9. You Got Me (Live w/ Jill Scott) 8. Backstabbers 7. Punk Rock Girl 6. Philadelphia Freedom 5. Hello It's Me (Nazz) 4. She's Gone 3. Streets of Philadelphia 2. La-La (Means I Love You) 1. TSOP HM: Motownphilly, And We Danced, Young Americans

Always about real hoopers

Real Hooper Summer, blog boys in shambles

Never properly shared this on here and already sorta feels like a lifetime ago (at least in terms of RTRS content), but wrote earlier in the week about turning 40. www.rightstorickysanchez.com/p/20-things-...

Yelled HELL FUCKING YEAH in the subway when they announced "Higher State of Consciousness" at No. 200

Sorry y'all they already asked me if LeBron should play in Philly and I said nah we're good. Moving On

i wanted to do 250 anti-american country songs but didn't quite make that happen...maybe later. some great protest music for you, in any event! www.dontrocktheinbox.com/put-a-record...

not generally one for generational warfare but I did just see a YouTube commenter use the phrase "OC fans" to refer to fans of the show 'Off Campus' and I may have no choice but to suit up for this one

"Double Dutch Bus" only #246 so you know the rest is gonna be good

Joe Dumars masterclass 👏

Hayley Williams pretty much always rules but Hayley Williams covering Sinead’s “Mandinka” (in Dublin no less) extra rules. youtu.be/FxwLOG2j_dY

Say what you will about the Barenaked Ladies — there have been a million songs about crying at the club, but still only one song about laughing at a funeral

Trust me that of the many misgivings Sixers fans may or may not have about this trade, 0% of them are led by "but we're really gonna miss Paul George"

No one is "more Cliff Lee" than anyone else besides Cliff Lee. You are either 100% Cliff Lee or 0% Cliff Lee.

It's funny to think of a top 10 MVP guy as a Joe Blanton type but this is kinda my thought too. Also he'll help late in games (and particularly in the playoffs) when Embiid is gassed/unavailable and Maxey can't totally get his own shot.

Push-offs are good now.

Seeing Paul George pass 20k in a Celtics uniform tho 😭
