The Scrappy, Underdog Phillies Don't Give A Single Shit About The Billion Dollar Dodgers

A 3-game sweep of the Tigers. A 3-game sweep of the Braves. The Dodgers came into Philadelphia with an 8-0 record, their chests puffed out, and their dicks fluffed up.
The Phillies then proceeded to kick them right in the cock and balls, and dunk their heads in the toilet.
They'll get it done with the long ball. They'll get it done with taking walks and playing some small ball.
And most importantly, they'll get it done by throwing your ass out because there's no dollar amount on the planet that could give the Dodgers anything close to JT Realmuto.
The Phillies aren't even in the top 3 highest payrolls in the MLB this year. This team is basically broke and poor. Just a bunch of scrappy dudes who show up to the ballpark every day making sure that hard work always outweighs high bank accounts. You think they give a shit about the Dodgers spending as much money on their roster as the US government spends on our defense budget? No chance. That's for losers to care and complain about.
The Phillies aren't losers. They are winners. Which is exactly why they made sure the first 162-win season in MLB history didn't go down this year by sending the Dodgers back home with 2 losses.
Sure would be a shame if the Dodgers had to come back to Philly for 3 games in October.
