it is also worth noting that these other 1b's you keep referring to are 3 of the very best players in all of baseball. just so happens they play the same position as howard. 1b is what 3b used to be back in the day.

Howard is having a decent year. To say he is carrying the phillies is funny though. The only reason they are in the race is because of their pitching. Which is strange but true

he's been the only consistent offensive weapon we've had all year and we're going to need him to keep it up in the 2nd half.

there's also something to be said about his constant presence in the lineup day in, day out. despite his body type ( ) dude never seems to get hurt.

----hey look at that, the jeagler just jinxed ryan howard! i now fully expect him to blow out both knees by labor day.

not true. I hate his contract. and I hate the fact that people think he is a great player (especially those in philly that watch him play every day)

You bad mouth him on almost a daily basis. Never give him credit and complain about his contract daily. If u don't hate him then you sure as hell act like u do. He's earned his pay raise and is still putting up good numbers,yet he is bashed and bashed by you and your sabermatics.

jamminpearls

And I don't care how many times its discussed its a good topic. And as long as he's putting up strong numbers and your still bashing him ill be right here throwing his production at you. One sabermatic at a time

Gary Carter

give em hell jammin :roll:

The Juggler

lol...

all kidding aside, fixer, your constant critizisms do come off across like you hate the guy and not just the contract. every chance you get, if he makes a bad play in the field or has a bad game at the plate you call him out for it and rarely, if ever, compliment him when he has good game.

at least you admit he's having a good year though.




homefield advantage this year--all we gotta do is get there now damn it!
GO PHILS.

The fact that he cannot hit lefties is not sabermetrics

or drive in runners from 3rd with less than two out, or catch the ball, or throw the ball.

I just said last week that his hr in extra innings was a huge hit for the phils

I don't hate the guy. He does a good job representing the phils and the city of philadelphia. He has a good head on his shoulders and isn't a troublemaker. He is just horrendously overpaid. I do complain about the contract a lot, but that's because it is the worst thing I've ever seen (after the Lee trade).

Like I've said a million times, howard is a good player. problem is that he gets paid like a great player.

We need a new topic...this one has been beaten to death

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).

he was the man! homerun in his first at bat. i remember it like it was....22 years ago or so.

myself and just about every kid i knew emulated his batting stance in little league.

i think he had a lot of problems with his knees otherwise he could have been a lot better than he turned out.

Myself included..I still have that set

I think Brodeur is in that set..maybe that will be worth something

I have the SCORE set with the extra 5 "exclusive" Lindros cards :roll:

neilybabes86

oh i forgot that i snapped a pair of oakley's in half when they announced the flyers got him

so add another $100 to the wasted total
