all the phils needed was me at a game. I hadn't been to a game in about a month. if I would have known this I would have went a while ago. yes, I'll be there tomorrow...
saturday 4:00 games are the best. tailgating, done early so you can go out after, and best of all you don't have to hear the fox announcers.

I prefer 1 games when I had a package. We would break out margaritas at about 10 or 11on my buddys terrace, get to the stadiun, drink way too much, but then have plenty of time to bbq after. 4 pm games went too late for use to have a legit bbq after on his terrace.

4 oclock games tailgating in FDR are the best.
I really think it was me blasting "Badlands" that has gotten them out of this slump(knock on wood).

Yeah, the lots are where it's at for the tail alone. Usually I have something in FDR and my boy has something in the Linc lot too right across from McFadd's. FDR's great when you have a shit load of people with you.
luckily was away this weekend and missed the last two games. Especially the one on Saturday :roll:

What do u want Howard to do be perfect? The dudes hitting the shit out the ball and yet you come on here and bitch about him again. I bet he could have 20hrs 70rbis and you'd still bitch that his on base perc isn't high enough for your liking. Is he the greatest fielding 1st baseman not by a long shot but he does a decent job. And his hitting more then makes up for his fielding in my eyes.

agreed. that wasn't my point in posting it. just thought it was an interesting stat....then they go and bash 5 homers and the bullpen blows it. go figure.

Was bored tonight so I did a little research with the top sluggers of the 4 best teams arguably since 2004 - Red Sox, Yankees, Phils and Cardinals. Between them they've won 5 of the last 6 World Series and went through game logs to see winning percentage in games in which their big slugger (Ortiz, A Rod, Howard and Pujols hit homers since 04 - for Howard 05) Not trying to prove anything - was just curious as to what were winning percentages when top sluggers homered for their teams.

there is more to baseball than hitting home runs. My point is that the guy is getting paid 25 mill a year. he better be damn near close to perfect to earn that contract. and he's not. actually he's far from it.
biggest AB of the game on saturday and he K's on 3 pitches. he's just not that good

so ignore his pure dominance of the game friday night and focus on one at bat on saturday. typical of a certain philly type fan who just constantly harps on our star players never EVER pointing out their good qualities.

aren't singles and walks more important though? it's all about on-base percentage i thought.

phils have some really good prospects in A ball...cosart, colvin, singleton, santana, gose
dude. you're seriously sweating 2017 and some first baseman for lakewood today? seriously?
.290, 14 hrs, 51 rbi....this team has way more pressing issues than this right now.
just saying that the contract is ridiulously bad
howard had a clutch AB on saturday too...not to mention his throws this weekend.
The blog deadspin links to has a betteer video as well. Pure awesomeness. I have probably watched it 30 times today.
ha, awesome
thats awesome
oh really? you don't like the contract?
4hr's in the last 5 games or so. much bigger issues to worry about right now than the R6
he was terrible on saturday

you got too much time on your hands dude
Good stuff, man. Baseball-Reference whiz you are.
there is more to baseball than hitting home runs. My point is that the guy is getting paid 25 mill a year. he better be damn near close to perfect to earn that contract. and he's not. actually he's far from it.
biggest AB of the game on saturday and he K's on 3 pitches. he's just not that good
I don't think there is a direct correlation here. Hitting a home run is one of numerous variables that goes in to winning a baseball game.
For example, we could look at adam dunn's record every time he hits a home run. His teams' record would still suck in those games.
One player hitting a home run and his team winning are virtually independent when discussing why teams win games
so ignore his pure dominance of the game friday night and focus on one at bat on saturday. typical of a certain philly type fan who just constantly harps on our star players never EVER pointing out their good qualities.
sorry, 1-6 with 3 K's on saturday. the one AB just sticks out in my mind. ya know, since it was the biggest of the game.
but he hit a HR saturday!! YAY
