We did some UPGRADES to end the year folks. New mics for the crew, courtesy of Santa. I hope you're reading this part, because this is additional "content", which we're told people enjoy.

So CONTENT AHOY as we catch up after 2 weeks...which means that it's time to go LOW and HIGH on the Birds. It's the end of a losing streak, but we've learned a lot about this team. Mike is in a bit of a wellness check zone during this episode. We righted the ship, but the next three games will tell us what kind of playoff caliber squad we are this year.

We also needed to get back to - everyone's favorite winter activity - offseason baseball meetings! The Phils bring back KYLE for another 5 years. Locking in a centerpiece, you gotta love it. But what other moves are a'comin? We welcome Garcia, could be an interesting prove-it year. But maybe time for Crawford in CF? We ponder, we wonder, and we look forward to pitchers and catchers reporting.

Somehow we still crammed in a bit of the Sixers and the Flyers, but next week - maybe JUST in time for Christmas, we'll go deeper on these possible playoff-level teams. HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you, Hoagie Mouth Nation.
