En La Clandestinidad Telford, PA by way of Kansas City, MO and Milwaukee, WI, Phoenix, AZ and East Greenbush, NY Posts: 3,694Man, the buzz at work today was really cool. We have sold so many extra 4-pack tickets, which makes for a really busy week, but I am really excited to see what this team can do in 2011.
The Phillies are still the much superior team. Obviously that pitching is insane, but that lineup is still really stacked even without Werth.
I am glad that the Phils are in another division. Would love to see a Phils vs Brewers NLCS in 2011, but the Brewers still have a ton to prove for sure.

Where in this thread has anyone taken a shot at the Phils pitching? I talked shit about their aging bats, but everyone knows that the Phils bats are old...it's only partially true but funny. Further we did get a Cy Young (and probably someone who performs better in the modern game than Cy Young) that we should be freaking happy about. 3 Opening Day starters from last year including 2 AL Opening Day starters is pretty damn good. Again Philly fans acting like spoiled little brats at Christmas thinking their once awesome gift got topped by a "less deserving" sibling or something. I don't get it? Did Yankee fans post in the Phils thread about how you think too highly of your team because you lucksacked into some pitcher because your GM did good work? You're team is freaking good, giving the Brewers and their fans attention is just weird. No one said this move is going to win the World Series, but we actually got a lot better.0

This, and their penchant for picking on the Mets (when that team did nothing to them), are what makes their fans so insufferable.
Come on RW...you're the one who can't stay out of the Philly sports threads
You love Philly and its fans0 -

Kudos to the Brewers...I have not seen Greinke pitch enough to really pass that critical judgment on him
The reason we (Phils fans) were so stoked is because we loved Cliff Lee and never wanted him to leave and the Phillies weren't even mentioned much at all about being in the bidding to get him back..then bam out of no where we got him. To add to it he thumbed his nose at NY which was awesome
I cant follow who the phuck you root for...Cowboys fan..Red Sox hat....Brewers fan ??
:wtf:My drinking team has a hockey problem

haha...alright Cowboys, Brewers, Pens, Mavs/Heat, Miami Hurricanes football, UConn basketball. Red Sox hat was a thing for my grandparent in-laws 60th anniversary in which I actually rooted for the Mets to win while wearing the hat. None of those teams make sense unless you grew up hating your home team (Syracuse, Yankees, Giants, Jets, Bills, Rangers) and only got national television games because your parents couldn't afford cable - nor did it reach us if they had the money. Super fraud all the way in Jeags terms, but I stuck with every team I chose except the NBA/NHL squads but I didn't like those sports till I got older and had reasons to choose them. For instance when I went on the Miller Park tour I was answering every damn trivia question about the Crew while "non-fraud" Brewer fans just stood there slack jawed and drunk. I do like passionate fan bases which is why I tease Boston and Philly fans, plus I know most of you bastards and bastardettes from going to PJ shows in those two cities.
Edit: Bill Simmons wrote about a person like me a few weeks ago when he talked about his daughter maybe liking the Lakers. My dad let me choose all my teams and I took the one's he hated, so my poor brother got stuck with the Bills.0 -

I have actually only been to one game at Miller Park back in 06, but have been around the fan base in AZ during the spring. They are awesome fans. Man I keep getting more and more pumped for this season!! Nice to see all of the Brewers fans coming out on the PJ boards!Formerly Brew Crew Tix

Congrats guys. I wish the Phils got him. We need a 5th starter.
Seriously, hope to see you guys in the playoffs. I've loved Wisconsin all 3 times I've been there, and Brewers games are a blast. Greinke will be great for the Brew Crew.
By the way, I don't understand why the Phils had to get bashed in this thread. I guess that's what bitter, loser Cowboys fans do. :PSpectrum 10/27/09; New Orleans JazzFest 5/1/10; Made in America 9/2/12; Phila, PA 10/21/13; Phila, PA 10/22/13; Baltimore Arena 10/27/13; Phila, PA 4/28/16; Phila, PA 4/29/16; Fenway Park 8/7/16; Fenway Park 9/2/18; Asbury Park 9/18/21; Camden 9/14/22; Las Vegas 5/16/24; Las Vegas 5/18/24; Phila, PA 9/7/24; Phila, PA 9/9/24; Baltimore Arena 9/12/24; Pittsburgh 5/16/25; Pittsburgh 5/18/25

I love when people say this. what makes a 'great baseball town'? I would say fan support. So why can't the brewers sell out more games?? They have been decent the last few years.0 -

when the phils need a 5th starter they are going to just choose a fan of the game to pitch. should be interesting0 -

2. Brewers have sold out a bunch of games the last few years, topping 3-4 mill per year I think. So yes I think Milwaukee constitutes a great baseball town, they pay for tix and go to games to support a team with "some" hope. And it would be short memoried to say Philly was any different. I went to games at the Vet that no one went to, I even bought decent walkup tix to a game at Citizens Bandbox Park between the Phils and Mets in 2006 (funnily enough Randy Wolfe started that game and won despite letting Reyes go yard 3 times).0 -

greinke is a beast. I don't think anyone said any different.
philly is, and always will be, a football town. I never said it was a great baseball town. It's not. I have only been to milwuakee once. I find it hard to believe that it's a great baseball town. I think that phrase gets overused0 -

There are plenty of good ball towns out there that just need a team to get behind...too bad it takes most teams luck and guile to get there and some just a wad of cold hard cash.

this guy clearly has an inferiority complex with philadelphia.www.myspace.com0 -
Oh look!!
More friends that hate the Phillies and their fans throwing propaganda into a team's thread on a Pearl Jam board!!!
Just remember Philly fans, your team looks good on paper!0 -

if you go back and look at the thread many said Grienke is awesome, except a number of philly fans who said he'd be middle relief, the #5 starter, or was too crazy (that was a a facebook friend from philly who broke the news to me) to pitch in philly. i don't have an inferiority complex with philly i am just trying to understand a fan base that goes out of its way to act so weird - particularly since i have so many students from there.0 -
