    It’s like the baseball HOF’s Mitch Richmond moment. Great player. He’d be a starter and all-star on any team. But the hall of fame? Then where does it end? 

    Kinda bodes well for guys like Utley and Rollins. Sure we love those guys, but on some other message board, there will be someone somewhere saying, “Really? Chase Utley? Great player. He’d be a starter and all-star on any team. But the hall of fame? Then where does it end?”

    Haha I don't remember exactly what I said? But I am weirdly getting some satisfaction out of this, even though she's me 2nd choice. Her crew of hardcore supporters would be the first to jump on anyone else this happened to, and so far crickets. They fall into a category of making Progressivism a sort of purity pissing contest, so yeah I've been enjoying it.

    Yeah I don’t remember either. Something along the lines of doubting her authenticity. Anyway you were the first person I thought of when I saw this.

    Phillies ranked 22nd by law in farm system rankings. Could be worse I guess but was hoping to see something more promising to the middle of the pack. They really have to clean it up.

    Amazed how the Dodgers just keep churning it out.

    You are aware of who your GM/President is, right?  I don't think a strong farm system is in the future, to say the least.

    I don't understand why they don't just steal all the Tampa Bay Rays development guys and pay them double or something.

    Yeah but surprisingly hasn't been an issue. Like it's still the last reason they're ranked where they are.

    Right, that’s true but just saying with this roster, anything they have is trade bait, rightfully so

    And so holy shit, what a weird feeling. Within 3(ish) months the Phils and Birds were/are in the World Series & Super Bowl. In 10 days the SB, 3 days after that pitchers & catchers report, and the next day a parade. Wow.

    Finally caught a show at the Brooklyn Bowl. Cool joint and is literally right next to The Fillmore. Smaller than Union Transfer and slight bigger than the Foundry inside the Fillmore. Probably holds about 500 people? And they have bowling there. :smile:

    Good spot. Saw the Felice bros there over the holidays and was there for a fun 90s covet band last weekend. Fun spot

    The PA House Dems easily won 3 special elections yesterday and actually have the State House Majority now. Who knows what will happen with the House Speaker.

    More importantly, this decision was rendered yesterday:



    Of course, this is only the first step, and I'm sure there will be appeals from the R's, but this is absolutely huge. But it's going to take political willpower as well, so having the House majority for now will be a big help.

    EDIT: And in regards to those Specials, apparently all three winners outpaced Shapiro by like 5-10 points, which is saying something.

    Yeah, really big numbers in those specials. Apparently hating America isn't working for those guys.

    The school funding decision was pretty cool. Definitely a long road ahead there.

    So crazy the season starts today. Should be having a goddamn parade today, too. Crazy.

    Anyway, love this move to extend Mister Sir:
