None of the three broke camp with the Phillies.  The Phillies, perhaps in part due to a lack of planning before the season started (though no one can be faulted for being unprepared for the COVID-altered season even in hindsight) wound up missing the playoffs due in large part to a terrible bullpen and lack of pitching depth.  The Phillies are not going to let that be their downfall in 2021.

Several U.S. cities and states have announced plans to lift restrictions on indoor dining at bars and restaurants – in moves that come less than week after a change at the White House.

A growing number of restaurants nationwide are opening for indoor dining in defiance of strict COVID-19 regulations in their states, saying they are targeted unfairly and are barely getting by.

The states with the strictest dining rules, including Pennsylvania, are led by Democratic governors and the protests have consequently attracted the support of right-wing groups.
