BREAK OUT THE BAMBROOMS: The Bamboo Boiz Sweep The Mets With Their 2nd Straight Walk-Off
Who’s Back Of The Week: The goddamn Philadelphia Phillies men’s professional baseball team.
Aaron Nola was DEALING all afternoon. 7 innings. 1 hit. 10 Ks. It was a gem of a day from Nola. And when Big Daddy Bryce launched this ball into orbit, you figured it was all the Phillies offense would need to get the win.
Unreal day from Nola. Unreal bomb from Bryce. The Bamboo Boiz were buzzin. But then the top of the 9th inning happened and everything went to complete shit. Hector Neris couldn’t close it out and the Mets ended up taking a 3-1 lead heading into the bottom of the 9th. Now before last night, the Phillies hadn’t had a single walk-off win all season. That changed when Jay BamBruce launched a missile into the crowd at CBP to give the Phillies their 3rd straight win. But surely the Phillies used up all of their luck, right? I mean 3 straight come-from-behind wins and this one coming in extra innings? No chance did the Phillies have any more lucky bamboo up their ass for this one….OR SO YOU MOTHER FUCKING THOUGHT, BITCH.
Mikey Franks with the 2-run shot to tie it up at 3 a piece. And then later in the inning…
A 3-run jack from Mean Jean. The Phillies 2nd straight walk-off. Their 4th straight come-from-behind win. A sweep against the Mets. The boys are dangerouos right now. And if you’re not believing in the bamboo at this point well then you are an idiot and a bozo and your family shouldn’t respect you.
This magical, magical plant. When the Phillies end up winning the World Series this year, they need to just leave the trophy on the field and take the bamboo plant out for a victory lap. What a day. Let’s go get drunk about it.
