***The Official Philadelphia Phillies 2013 Thread***

thought it was pretty cool that the Phils put Fregosi's hat on the seat he usually sat in while scouting. wasn't the biggest Fregosi fan but thought they did the ceremony with some class.

The franchise had been screwing up injuries for years. Of course Cole suffers a set back from something that supposedly wasn't even a big issue to begin with.

DUDE, I meant to post this. Good stuff. The Philly accent is something. I just heard it called Hoagie Mouth today, find that hilarious

I'm assuming you were looking at Philebrity. I'm a fan of Joe Sweeney and his nerdlinger hipster site, but like all nerdlinger hipster things - it can border, and cross into, a level pretension that only one that is insecure with themself can reach.

Oh, and there's my jealousy that that dude makes a living with that site....bastard...

Dude I work with said Hoagie Mouth yesterday. Assume that is where he got it.

I haven't read that site in ages. I used to all the time.

not really shocking news there about Cole. when a guy comes into spring with a bad arm...

So CBP will be crowded every 5th day for Cliff.

I'm having some Jameson's before I go to work.....

Let's have this conversation instead of the nonsense of having Asche and Franco platoon at 3rd.

I think some people are drinking Jameson at work, son.

On a semi-related note - job interview on Friday. I'm thinking of trying out taking a nip or two first thing in the morning to really drive home the I-don't-give-a-shit attitude. I'm convinced this mindset exudes confidence more than any other.

if hired just make sure you get the right size paper hat.

this thread is probably best when it's NOT baseball talk....and face it, there's not much for you dudes to talk about on that front.

I loved the Pawnsylvania clip, even if those types are foreign to me. which one of YOU is closet to the Kroll guy? maybe the fixer?

Some greedy bastards the Phillies are. Since when is there an hour and a half rain delay 2 weeks into spring training? When Tanaka is starting at an opponents facility. That's when.

Every team tries to cover up injuries in spring training. Gotta sell tickets.

Sadly, I dont think it matters at all if hamels makes 33 starts or 0 starts. At best this team is finishing 4th in the NL East, and I think last place is a realistic outcome.

Hopefully the flyers can make a nice long playoff run...otherwise it's gonna be a longggggggg summer

Why an MRI hasn't happen yet is just nuts!!!!!!!!!

seriously. there's no harm in getting one done. we might as well start making bets on how long before he's placed on the dl.

1-8 in spring training? Hopefully they do a little better once the season starts :-S

Phils DFA Stutes. I don't think you make a move on your 40-man right now unless you plan on adding someone to it. The suspense is killing me...ugh

I wouldn't mind it, honestly, at this point. Better overall player than Abreu off the bench, and makes it an easier decision to keep Ruf on the roster.

Exactly. If we had a left-handed outfielder that could hit and field we wouldn't be talking about Abreu & Mayberry on this team.
