    I'm assuming those were bad teams?

    No. I think they won 86 games both years. He just was here for such a short amount of time that I think it's funny he's being honored like this. I don't know why they need to do this every single year.

    I was at that game where he hit his 400th, though. That was awesome....as was Harry's call, of course.

    RIP HK
    yeah they were good, just on the outside looking into the playoffs though. had a shot at the wildcard a few times.

    They really are stretching it - how bout this CRAZY idea of not inducting anyone one year, or many years?

    Wouldn't be surprised if the entire '08 team gets in next summer.

    Jim Thome to the Wall of Fame


    C'mon....

    I had no idea JT ever played for the Phils....even tho I now see he hit nearly 100 HRs in 2003 and 2004, I somehow missed that.

    They signed him to help sell tix for the new stadium. It delayed Howard's move up to the club.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Well, yeah, and win ballgames.

    Imagine if Rolen wasn't a cock and how much earlier this team would have started their run. Instead of breaking through in '06/'07 we would have probably had 3-4 more seasons in there of legit playoff contention.

    OR.....someone should tell they they can still honor former players WITHOUT inducting them into the team's wall of fame. I have no problem with having a "Jim Thome Night" during Alumni Weekend....just ridiculous to put him on the wall.

    The Rolen thing is interesting because, yeah they would've most likely gotten to the playoffs much earlier.....BUT.....would that success have meant Gillick never came? And thus would we have been stuck with Ed Wade longer than we would've liked? Ed did a great job drafting those guys and building the farm, but we clearly needed Gillick's expertise of getting the missing pieces to surround those guys.

    I'd like to hop into the ol' Delorean to see how things would've turned out differently if Rolen accepted that 140M ish deal back in the day...

    Enough about the Fightin's - how bout this? We got shows in three weeks! I just realized this tour is in an election cycle, so hopefully that means they get their fucking hate back. Love me some Pearl Jam when they're at full hate - there is no better Pearl Jam than Pearl Jam at full hate. Looking forward to the boos from the "Stick to the music. I didn't PAY to see YOU preach!" crowd.

    seems like it's just one bad inning a game they have so far. First 0-3 start since '07

    Anyone else have tickets to the PJ show in Raleigh? The recent Springsteen cancelation is not a great sign. I know Springsteen and Vedder are boys so I'm worried about the show getting canceled.

    The entire thing is ridiculous. Fucking liberals

    I'm with you. Part of me feels that Bruce is only doing this so that other liberals will say "Way to go, Bruce! Way to take a stand!"

    I am pretty sure Bruce Springsteen couldn't give two fucks what anyone on earth thinks or says about him.

    Nothing like missing the 1st 1-1/2 innings of opening day.. The chaos of going with 16 family members. Taking the subway to a game for the 1st time was a cool experience for this Jersey guy.

    Nola was hit hard for a few innings. A few nice plays behind him including him snagging the Kemp line drive.

  • Dude, WaWa Hoagie-fest!
    WaWa is pretty good, certainly the fresh sandwiches set it apart from 7-11 as a guy moving here from 7-11 land out west. Otherwise it is a place that serves things that C stores serve.
