look i just compared them

Phillies took 2 of 3 from Red Sox & Blue Jays this year. The AL East teams run differential is probably run up by playing the shitty AL Central.

I gave up watching after the eighth inning at 11:30 and listened to the final two innings.

As neily mentioned, I live here so I have more to add than just baseball, especially the way that thread goes. Also, I am a fan of baseball in general and that is one of the more active threads. Living here, the Phillies are probably the team I see and hear about the second most, especially since they are good. And, regarding the Ryan Howard discussion, people need to be called on dumb shit they say. If I compared Tex to Babe Ruth or Ted Williams, I would full expect to get ripped.

Shitty loss last night. Really wanted them to get that game.

4 hours and 15 minutes.

took the phillies and giants 4 hours and 30 minutes to play thursday's and saturday's games combined

i love the national league

You guys are right, I had to let it go around the 8th and went to bed. The games are far tooo long, this season it will go back and forth between these two teams.

Find ways to speed up the games in the AL.

Peace

It's mostly when Beckett pitches, he takes forever in between pitches.

i know dude. but i think if you didn't live here you'd post a lot in that thread too just cuz it's always bumped up to the top and you love the game so much.

i make a few posts in here and suddenly "i'm all concerned about new york" again according to neils. i could care less about that city. i just enjoy talking a lil smack about our teams (as referenced by my posts in the cowboys thread).

at least we can unite on our contempt for the Cowboys since I'm a Giants fan and you're an Eagles fan.

Can't wait. Go figure I'll be in Toronto for the opening weekend of the NFL.

I saw a headline that Posada was "benched". I hope this doenst get to be too much of a circus because it would be nice to see him go on a high note and not fizzle out. It does seem like he's been doing a bit better lately. also, I had to check his career stats out of curiosity...how does a .270 lifetime hitter hit .338 (in '07)... just one big year??

Yeah, you're probably right to an extent at least. It is active and they are a very good team, not without a lot of arguments so I am sure I would be involved. Living here certainly helps though.

Haha, well I think he is just talking a little smack and busting balls as well.

Based on the stories, he was disappointed but accepted it. Hey I would too, 13 million for this year and now he gets essentially a month off. Almost as good as a no-show construction job.

At this point he doesn't really have a choice. If he puts up a fit, they would release him. It's a really sad way for a great Yankee career to end. Just terrible, he sounds cliche but he is such a competitor that it has to be killing him. Posada is an all time Yankee great and it's definitely a tough way to go out.

It's an outlier - they happen.

Was he really "benched" if he was just DH'ing to start with? He was usually on the "bench" anyway. Just got his ass up to bat every couple innings. What a stupid rule.

This argument is almost as repetitive as the Howard argument.

I know, I can't help myself. I fucking hate that rule so much. Almost as much as the "save situation" stat.

A DH who can't play the field getting WS MVP against my team didn't make me feel any better about it either.

:thumbup: That's the only way Giants and Eagles fans can unite. Other than that, I hate the Eagles also.
