Twitter Reacts to Chicago Cubs Sweep of Phillies

The Chicago Cubs did it again. They swept another National League East powerhouse. The first time around it was against the New York Mets and now they have added the Philadelphia Phillies to their trophy case.
While the sweep won't change the outcome or trajectory of the season, it does give the club a boost of confidence for the 2023 MLB season while trying to finish this one.
It is especially important for the younger, developing players to be able to win against good teams in big situations.
Here are some of the best Twitter reactions we here at Inside the Cubs saw from this sweep.
The 2022 Cubs:
— Randall J. Sanders (@RandallJSanders) September 29, 2022
- Broke Atlanta’s thirteen game winning streak
- Swept the Mets in New York, including a deGrom start
- Swept the six game season series against the Phillies
So my takeaway is that the Cubs win the NL East
Well, we did just mention that they beat up on two very good teams from that division. So yeah, go ahead and crown them the champs.
Sweep. @Cubs

For posterity's sake, right Stro?
W. this cubs team just wont quit. wont give in to the fact that was their 70th win. wont stop playing to their best ability. again for all the fans hating on david ross for a while, this 2nd half run doesnt happen without a leader keeping a ball club together. winning matters

A little bit of confidence goes a long way. If they can carry this over into next season, then yes, winning matters.
The Phillies go into a must-win September series with Wheeler, Nola, and Suarez on the mound.

They get swept by the 67-86 Cubs. They scored a total of 3 runs. Playoff lead gone.
A complete disaster. Losing culture.
The Cubs sent Phillies fans into complete meltdown mode.
And perhaps the most positive of all:
Cubs win, Cubs sweep season series vs Phillies. 3rd best ERA in baseball since all star break. I’m getting 2014/2015 vibes heading into the off-season with this team 😍
