Your Monday Morning Roundup
We now officially enter an era where no remaining Phillie has had his name called by Harry Kalas. This is a real bummer, but let’s get moving.

And side note: Writers who bashed Hinkie are now actually advocating for keeping Simmons out for a year. The world makes no sense anymore.
It seems more likely that there are a bunch of weirdos getting off on dressing as “scary clowns” than actually legitimately threatening people in clown costumes, so … I mean … beat the hell out of them?
