    Not sure if you guys have seen Simers latest column, but it's another piece of literary gold:

    He's probably my most disliked columnist in the country


    Its obvious he's like Howard Eskin and just wants a rise out of people

    Now I know what type of articles he writes...we see it all too much here

    Just another blow-hard who probably doesn't believe half the stuff he writes and before he writes it says "Wait until you see this article" to his co writers

    Difference is Eskin knows sports. Not as much baseball as he knows football and basketball though. I think I'm the only guy around who likes that asshole. And Eskin is a radio personality - not a guy who is supposedly accredited in journalism.

    He wrote the same types of articles in 2001 during the 76ers Lakers Finals. He's just a hack and Philadelphians got so enraged by him then that the LA Times had to be evacuated once because of a bomb threat after one particular article he wrote trashing Philly.

    Why not? Maybe it's what gives him strength. He's been lights out, apart from a couple starts, since the all-star break. In Brett I trust.(knock on wood - or, err, wife)

    I'm not here to stir shit, really..... but are you all sold on Lidge? I know he was perfect, I know his ERA is one-ish, I know 80-0, etc., etc. but he just doesn't seem that dominant. Admittedly, all I've really seen of him was Game 1 of the NLDS and last night. NLDS; Brewers had him on the ropes. Last night; the bottom of the order hit some balls hard. Is he "Gagne Cy Young year" good or is he "I swear Rod Beck is gonna give he a heart attack" good?? :p

    Gagne Cy Young good. He was throwing heat last night. Only difference between now and the beginning of the year is that players are starting to lay off his slider in the dirt. And now he seems to be coming back at them with some cheese. Though he did finish the game off with the slider in the dirt last night. You can't just blow off those stats...They're friggin ridiculous #'s - he's 44 for 44 and I think they're 84-0 now leading after the 8th inning. That's nothing to fuck with.

    Yeah, the last slider was nasty. Reminded me of my boy Nen :D. I'm not blowing off the stats - you don't get lucky 44 out of 44 times! :p Just wonderin', was all.....

    not any more.

    Is it time to revive the "Ryan Howard is a Dog" thread? Jeez! :mad:

    edit: this has got to be the most running Myers has done all year! :D

    I wasn't a believer until I saw it up and close and personal last night. But then, everything blew me over. I've never had such a sporting experience, and I've gone to a lot different games in different places. Holy shit. I think I inhaled a pound of rally towel thread debris.

    I just got home from 6:30am yesterday, and the boys are up 8-2, Top 4. Flyers start tomorrow night. There is no better time of year. None.

    amen to the Philly fans for bringing back the "Beat L.A.!" chants ... I never get tired of that ...

    First popularized, I believe, in the early 80s in Boston during the Celtics / Lakers rivalry.

    Simple, but effective.

    I think they have shown at least 10 people in the crowd biting their nails in the past 5 minutes ... reminds me of the Houston Lidge days.

    It was a chant by the fans in the Garden in support of Philly after Philly finally beat the Celtics in Game 7 in 1982:

    It was the infamous Boston Stangler game in which Andrew Toney took the spotlight from Dr. J and beat the Celtics.

    makes sense, as Boston played Houston when they won in '81 .. we just stole it fron the Philly fan when facing the Lakers.
