    JP, what time you heading down there tomorrow? I know a dude that's bartending at mcfaddens tomorrow. Id much rather tailgate, but if it rains I will be inside. He hooks it up, we practically drink for free. If you don't have a huge group you can get in on that.

    The Fixer will be in St Maarten watching the games and drinking rum by the gallon. I have a feeling I'm gonna have to be wasted to watch the eagles on sunday night. tough spot for them

    Ohhhhhh shiiiiit.

    So far I know tailgating before the game is at least me and my buddy, but there could possibly be 5 of us if we meet up with these other dudes.

    I got so excited that I forgot you asked what time I was heading down - think I'm gonna leave West Chester around 1:30 so I should be in FDR around 2:15/30.
  • The little boy, Johnny III, arrived on Sunday night, so I'm off all week. Lots of baseball playoff viewing gonna be going on here!

    Why do I get the feeling this is gonna be one of those brutally disappointing Philadelphia teams? It's just set up too perfectly, like the 2002 NFC Championship Game or a bunch of those Flyers teams.

    Congrats buddy...I hope everyone is doing well.

    As to your 2nd point...I'm not saying you're right, but I think this town is way too confident. You can't just assume this team is gonna be in the WS. They are absolutely the favorite, but nothing is a given in the playoffs. I've been searching for reasons to not get too confident...I even referenced past flyers and eagles teams from the late 90s and 00s.

    As a philly fan I always wear a cup...I've been kicked in the balls way too many times when I least expected it

    As been said - ANYTHING can happen in a 5 game series. No reason to get too confident until up by 2 games. Until then, cautiously optimistic.

    Glad to see Brown make the roster. Love the 7 man bench.

    congrats johnny a!

    the only way we lose is if we don't play up to our capabilities....which is entirely possible, though, with how our bats can fall asleep at the drop of a hat. that is my only concern. i see us taking it in 5.

    regarding the fans being over confident: confidence levels are through the roof, sure, but that is to be expected. best record in baseball and odds on favorites to win the whole thing again breed that kind of confidence. it was kind of the same thing last year, even with that rotation.

    also i love that we're this confident. '08 gave us a 'lil giddy up to our step. it was much deserved and this team's a beast. so roll with it :mrgreen:

    by the way---rosters are set. both hobb nobber and d brown made the cut.....

    There's a new craft beer store with mix and match six packs in the riverview plaza on Delaware. Same people that own the distributor on 2nd and Washington.

    Looooong day ahead of me tomorrow. Getting as giddy as a kid on Christmas. Phils World Series Champs hoodie. Check. Halladay jersey. Check. Phils cap. Check. Tailgate chairs. Check. 30 of Miller Lite. Check.

    Not at all. After the fees they rape you with me and a buddy paid $210. There are some good deals on there right now
  • Thanks for the well wishes. Mom & baby are doing great!

    I did see Doc lose to the Reds this year... after pitching an 8 inning complete game. But give them credit, they came back and took it from him. I think he's gonna be the beast he is today. Can't wait!

  • I actually met Halladay at a Wawa in Media last month. He was in line behind me buying a coffee. I told him how it was great to have him on the team and he told me he couldn't be happier to be here because he'll finally get to play in the playoffs. Well he's there now...and he's on the verge of making history.
