dude. dude...you're talking to a guy who had ticket plans back when they played at the vet...before they were winning divisions and championships and before it was considered "cool" to go to phillies games.
plus if you read the article its talking about people attending the games in person and jumping on the bandwagon of a championship caliber team which happens in every city, as the article points out...it's not talking about people who completely turn their backs on their hometown team, choosing instead to root for one 3,000 miles away from from home like you did with your city's basketball team. you should be ashamed of yourself for that callous act of treason.
and to be quite honest, there is not a doubt in my mind you wouldn't have done the same thing to the yankees if they kept running the team the same way the did back in the 80's.

the "being born into it" excuse just means your a 2nd generation fruad and cannot think for yourself. sorry dude. i don't make the rules.
so after the contract expires you will be happy to follow up with the Travis Lee, JR Phillips, Ricky Jordan, Len Matuszek-like era of 1st basemen for the Phils - nice. I have my own new stat called WASP - Wins Above Shitty Players and Ryan Howard is about +20 over those turds we had as some of his predecessors.
gotta love people who do nothing but rip on our stars and clearly the Fixer is one of those (see Flyers thread as well).
dude, you're the guy that thought the devils played a left wing lock and lidge threw a sinker.
1B is the easiest position in baseball to replace. You don't give the 8th best 1B in MLB 25 mill a year.
last saturday the guy behind me asked me what the numbers next to the city meant on the out of town scoreboard. he thought the mets had 57 runs. and he was serious. philly fans are the worst
Also, sam donellon is a huge tool. he ripped the phils for letting jon lieber go. idiot
there's also a jaime moyer to the HOF article in the Daily News today. man the philly papers have gone to shit

and jeff carter blows. he's not a fucking star
you know who jonathan singleton is?
you are funny - 8th best 1st baseman..
yup jeff carter blows because it is so damn easy to score 40 fucking goals. yet aren't you the same moron begging for daniel carcillo to get back in the lineup during the Cup?
only morons think hitting guys who hit 45 home runs every year, score 40 goals in hockey every year suck or blow - dude if either of these guys were in another town you'd wet yourself for them - just STOP now please. you disgrace yourself everytime you say Howard sucks - it's embarrassing.

miguel cabrera, morneau, texiera, pujols, votto, gonzalez, youkilis. all better than howard
you know Mikael renberg once scored 40 goals right? hitting that number doesn't mean a player is good. Just like 40 homers doesn't mean a player is good (adam dunn for example)
you love stats...you just need to learn which ones are worth a damn

you are too funny with that list of 1B better than howard.
what part of every year didnt you understand dumb---? Renberg did it what once? Carter has been a top scorer for what 3, 4 years now and no reason that won't continue. and why bring singleton into the argument - at what point did i ever compare Jeff Carter to anyone? All i said was saying be blows is idiotic - but that is par for the course for your sports opinions apparantly.

carter has scored 30 goals twice in his career. other than that he contributes absolutely zero to the flyers. he had one of the worst playoff series in flyers history last year vs the pens
you look at his stats, see 40 goals one year, and assume he's a good player. not true

Other then gonzalez hitting 4pts higher in avg howard beats him in every other category. Pujulos and maybe cabrera are the only othe 1st baseman who and in howards league or better. Joey Votto u serious let the dude have a few steller seasons before u throw that junk out there serioulsy. Howard and his world series ring in the last 4yrs is by far the leader in hrs and rbi,but they don't count nevermind.
It blows my mind how a career 281 hitter who avgs 49 hrs and 143 rbis is getting bashed on a constant basis,especially when he's producing solid numbers yet again.

if you keep using HRs and RBIs it's pointless to argue with you. use the slash stats and OPS.
howard is having a decent year. and he's still the 4th best 1B in his league (let alone MLB)
I think when he posts in Phiily threads the fixer should change his name to the hater. Seems fitting to me.
I just hate stupid fans and bad contracts
Is that u calling names,funny funny. I seem to remember u not liking that,but yet u do it as well. It cracks me up how high and mighty u think u are. You act like you know everything and its pretty funny how far from the truth your statements are.

I don't know anyone with a brain who wouldn't want howard on their team. I'd take howard over ike davis any damn day. Sabermertics are the most stupidest stats ever created. Guys like MANRAM and AROID and king albert are going to the hall of fame cause of their HOME RUNS AND RBI'S not cause of stupid sabermetrics stats.
Billy beane hasn't won shit since he's been gm of the A's and yet he's the "godfather" of sabermetrics stats. Yea those stats work wonder for him year in and year out. How many rings have the A's won. I mean fucking christ one of those stupid stabermetrics stats had daniel murphy as the 5th best defensive 1st basemen.

i never bought a set just boxes with packs and packs trying to be greedy
how ironic eh jeags
Every town sells out their stadium when a team is winning
I think St.Louis or Chi Cub fans are the only ones that show up faithfully winning or losing
Winning brings out the casual fan who only shows up when they're are winning or the thing to see at the time
I didn't read the whole article but the attendance at the Bank since it opened has been very solid
The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill
A protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers
Agree for the most part. Just thought I would post it since it was in the Philly paper.
