    wait, isn't the most important statistic on-base percentage? even more than the home runs?

    Not sure but ya know what I always thought was an underrated baseball stat: run scored. People get so much credit for an RBI....but you can get an RBI on a groundout to the 2nd baseman if there's a guy on 3rd. To score a run, you have to get on base and somehow make it around...which seems more difficult.

    dude, you're the one that said lidge throws a sinker.

    and home runs sure are better when people are on base

    wow so killing me 2 months later because i typed Lidge's best pitch in wrong and put a sinker instead of slider. should i go through all your posts and look for mistakes you might have made and call you out on it 2 months later (even when I changed the post 5 minutes after I originally typed it)?

    jeez i'm just nutting you guys who talked so adamently about on-base percentage - i guess my sarcasm doesn't come through on a message board.

    Nice 4 hit game tonight

    The man is still a professional hitter so he can turn it on again no doubt

    Meh. They were all singles. Nothing too impressive.

    The difference is you don't pay a guy 10 mil a year to hit singles unless he can steal 2nd and 3rd. And I don't see Raul doing that anytime soon.

    Seriously. They've gotten a pass for far too long now - I'd say since game 5 of the Flyers/Bruins series.

    that's due to the fact that most phillies fans are new, fair weather fans. don't worry, they'll be back as annoying as ever come october

    I have no problem with festivities before games. The ballpark being the 'place to be' - in the words of Frank Costanza - is nothing new. It's been like that since it opened up. I just think people are assuming this team will be there, and are taking their team for granted. It'll even out. I'm convinced this town is just as much a baseball town as a football one. It's just that we have a football mentality to all sports. And this may sound stupid, but I know there are a lot of freaks who represent our fan bases but I'd go to bat for any of them outside of our city. It's like the alcoholic uncle in your family, or black people with the N word. Hey, that's OUR word!

    Well, c'mon now, there's limits. And he did it against his own.

    My point is when we were down in DC and all the Phils fans booed every player announced for the Nats, and used the 'sucks!' chant. Well, of course I'm getting in on that. As long as no violence or acts like above are mentioned I'm down.

    What I'm trying to say is of course Philly people are assholes, and that's why we are obnoxious at away games and we don't want outsiders here. And I'm perfectly fine with that.

    road game etiquite is different from home game etiquite. you're supposed to be a dick when you're on the road. it's part of the fan creedo. you shouldn't be a dick at home.

    flyers got booed tonight in the second period on the PP. that shit pisses me off

    Of course. I want my sports to also be my freak circus social environment. The more they meld, the better I am with life.

    if I was at the Phils game last night I would have booed Leighton. some flyers fans are devastated at the loss and this guy is at the phils game yucking it up the next night. it bothers me that he sucks and choked and is yucking it up the next night. Briere was almost in tears interviewed afte the game and this guy looked like it was a regular season loss - i would have booed his ass last night, surely wouldn't have cheered him like phils fans did.


    Phils suck right now - their offense is so inpatient. Constantly swinging at bad pitches to try and get hits. be patient, take a walk and trust your teammates and this team will be fine.

    HUH?!?!?!?! Take pitches? Not swing for the fences and only hit for the home run? Get on base? What is this strategy you speak of?
