Dodgers were the consensus best team in baseball and undefeated. They just lost a 3-game series to the Phillies. By the transitive property, the Phillies are now the best team in baseball.
I'm sorry, but it's simple math. I don't make the rules.

Human sacrifice. Dogs and cats living together. Howie paying RBs and LBs. Mass hysteria!
How many "You can't be great without the greatness of others" tattoos are going to show up in the Philadelphia area in the next few months?

@mcneely @skyfaller Right, sports fans are all a bit crazy, but Philly sports fans are crazy in this bizarre collective way that just feels different.
@mcneely @skyfaller yeah, I follow the NFL and baseball group accounts, and they help. I didn't even know if what I'm missing is something that *can* be recaptured here, or if it should be. I just miss the weird community of people living and dying on the Philly Cocky/Distraught sports spectrum.
I've seen some commentary floating around here (and felt this at times myself) that one of things that is missing in the Fediverse is the special kind of insanity that comprised Philly Sports Twitter. I've been trying to brainstorm a way to make that a reality here without screwing up the Masto vibe. I fully recognize that a lot of the best Philly sports follows never made it here from the birdsite, but, especially in the wake of SBLIX, I miss the jubilant weirdness we used to have.
@skyfaller So, full disclosure, I originally showed up as one of those folks. A bunch of us landed at mstdn.party, some of them discovered the jawns.club domain and thought a Philly-centric domain would be a better home. I'm pretty sure most of them left because they weren't getting the same reach they had on Twitter/X in 2022, and because after their initial revulsion to Musk taking over they decided it wasn't so bad. Which, well, not sure we want them here if that's how they feel.
Super Bowl 59 is on NFL Network right now if anyone is interested
I don't want to jinx anything, but I think they got this, gang
Good morning to all my fellow Birds fans. Welcome to the first day in which you woke up and the Eagles are 2x Super Bowl champs.

I hope your favorite football team wins today as long as your favorite football team is the Eagles, because the Eagles rule. Go Birds.
Talk to me #Eagles fans. How are we feeling? Who needs to be talked down off a ledge?
@acm_redfox no, we've done it, we solved racism
(Isn't it interesting how this news comes out one day after it's revealed that our Nazi POTUS will be attending the game in person?)
@ATLeagle my person has now cut off all contact with anyone in the family. I'm worried.
How do you help someone who's willing to (and very capable of) lying to the people who were summoned to help them about being ok when you know they're not? Fuck.
55-23 is the new 38-7. Tell a friend.
One-way trip to Mars for Jake.
