The Philadelphia Phillies season came to a crashing halt the same day it did in 2024. A loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on the road in Game 4 of the NLDS repeated their fate from the year prior. October 9 has become a day of reckoning for the Phillies. The only difference is this time the New York Mets didn’t get involved.
While the Mets sat idle and rooted for both teams to get knocked out (the Phillies more so), the B-story for us was to ponder about the future. The Phillies were still a good team despite their fall.
