OT: I'm a Pirates' fan, but those throwback Phillies uniforms that they wore last night

are absolutely beautiful; they are immediately identifiable with the Phillies. I know that they wear them for Thursday home games, but they definitely should bring them back as a full-time uniform. The uniforms that most teams wore from the mid-70s to mid-80s were so colorful and beautiful compared to the boring whites and grays that most teams wear today.

Let's get real about Franklin

It's one thing to slam him and/or to believe the lucrative contract extension was a huge mistake.

I mean, I don't subscribe to the most fevered criticism of the guy, but after being a big fan of his hire and performance through 2019, my confidence has been shaken a bit the last couple years, and I do understand why a lot of fans are quite unhappy with him. I also think the long-term extension of his contract with the prohibitive buy-out was a big mistake and seemed like an unnecessarily panicked reaction on the part of the administration.

But all that said, the idea, which many appear to have, that there's any chance in hell he'll be fired, is delusional. Hell, it's almost as delusional as me picking Penn State to beat the Bucks yesterday. Franklin's not going anywhere unless he chooses to go, but if it makes people feel better to pretend otherwise, well, it's a free country.
