0:00.0	Hey there, podcast, pals, and welcome back to your National League Championship Series
0:25.3	Game 7 recap. Philly's Fall to the Diamondbacks 4-2 in a crushing defeat that has introduced
0:33.0	a new generation of Phillies fans to what it truly means to have your hearts ripped out by your baseball team.
