No shit. But you can’t get a cheesesteak from front and Oregon in CBP. Also, chicken cutlet w/ rabe and sharp prov is better anyway

32 cheese steaks at a ball park = $3,363,264.99

Padres fans will take one
Phillies fans hell no— Johnny Gomez (@johnnysfgiants) October 23, 2022
Despite being put on the back foot after the first innings itself, Philadelphia Phillies made a magical offensive comeback and stole the match 10-6 at home.
How is the championship series currently placed?
Both the championship series, American League, and National League, are currently standing at two opposite ends of the spectrum. And while one seems like a fair battle, the other is turning out to be a walk in the park. Yes, Houston Astros is embarrassingly walking past the New York Yankees and approaching an unbelievable ALCS whitewash.

On the other hand, while the Padres are doing a good job at competing, they are now down 3-1 in the series. Philadelphia Phillies entered the postseason as unexpected underdogs. They beat the Cardinals in the wild-card round, dominated past reigning World Series Champions, Atlanta Braves, and are now competing with the Padres, who also entered as underdogs.
Moving on, it is not going to be easy for the Padres, or the Yanks, to make a significant comeback into the season. However, baseball has the power to make unexpected events occur, and leave fans in adoration, shock, and disbelief.
