Can't be mad.  'Stros were the best team all season.

Nope. Can absolutely be mad. Phillies had lots of opportunities to win as well as a lot of bad luck. 

Eventually, I’ll agree this was an incredible run that gave so many good memories. They gave it their best and certainly overachieved. But now is not that time. 

Philly sports is going great right now, definitely one of the best eras of Philly sports I've ever been a part of. Everyone winning and doing great. Hope the Eagles continue the trend and Sixers turn things around at some point. It was only a few years ago where Philly sports felt so awful, now collectively on top of the sports world with every team doing well at a minimum and amazing at best.

Enjoy it, times like this don't come around often.

They just ran out of gas. They scored 2 runs at home in games 4 and 5, including 1 out with a man on 3rd down 1 in the 8th in game 5.

It was a hell of a ride and I'm still so impressed by this team and appreciate the ride they took us on.

I don't think of them like '93 because I think they will be better next year and maybe for the next few years.

This sucks right now, but big picture is pretty nice.

Why mad?  Disappointed I can see, but what is there to be mad about?

Missed opportunities, guys not coming up clutch in certain situations in this last series.  

Sometimes I hate technology but it lets me watch my boys state semifinal 3000 miles away. I like it now lol

Don't worry Phillies fans.  Jalen won't fall short like these guys.  20-0.

If something catastrophic happens to derail the Eagles season, remember where the bad karma came from.

All disappointing.  But mad?

If I was a big soccer fan… wow, that was a collapse.

Anger is natural. That's how some people cope with loss.

I'm no expert but they had a lead and more players. That was kinda not good.

Hard to imagine how it could happen with LA only having 10 players due to the red card.

The fact there’s no Eagles game tomorrow to wash this taste out of my mouth really sucks. 

 

Time to refresh and wash away the last couple of hours.

Yeah, definitely  - and then to lose the shootout like that to the backup goalie.

I watched it. The sport's dumb as crap. They were leading with like a minute left, you have players flopping and falling over all game, the other team got a fluky goal and it went to penalty kicks, which are dumb as crap anyway. They basically won, who gives a crap what the "official ruling" is. Why are you upset? You're talking about the difference of literally like a minute. They basically won the damn thing.

Anger may be natural when the person is a protaganist, but anger is anything but natural when all we are are observers.

I answered that in the OP

”Phillies had lots of opportunities to win as well as bad luck”

That WS whamps shirt is nice, but not impressed with that hat.

I agree with the statement, but why the anger?  Anger is such an over the top emotion.

Can't be mad at the umps and their **** defense?

You can.  I just believe it is a total waste of time.  But don't let me stop you.
