carter and vick never won philly a title. I will never boo blanton, hamels, or howard. Or werth.
Agree with your assessment of blanton. He is what he is. He's definitely not as bad as everyone in philly is making him out to be.
Now get back to telling us how howard is better than votto. or comparing him to babe ruth
only comment ever made about babe ruth was that Howard reached 200 home runs faster than anyone in the history of the game including babe ruth. thats a FACT but continue to twist little segments of what people say into something it's not. you are really good at that.
and you won't boo howard but you will continually put him down everyday the sun comes up on here - don't get it.
votto has had one great season, when he does it for 4 or 5 like ryan has then you can talk. the baseball world is littered with one and two-year wonders. not to say votto isn't going to be great for 5-10 years, looks like he probably will be, but that is still to be determined.
and do you want to go back and tell us how we are better off with ross gload at 1st?
Booing Werth right from the jump is fucking idiotic. When the man comes back to Philly, you cheer him his first AB back and then boo the man. Dude was offered an insane contract, how could he not pass it up?

geez...i wonder if people gave ralph kiner shit for that too for the last 50 years or so.... :roll:
Well werth did choose the $$$, while another player came to town on a discount. Not saying I would boo him, but he had the chance to remain a phil
Ahh, just a little difference on the size of the discount though.
you mean difference between Werth's Phils vs Nats contract, and Lee's Phils vs Yanks??
Yeah, exactly. Werth was offered $45 by the Phils and got $126 mil from the Nationals. Thats over $80 mil left on the table. When all is said and done with Lee he will probably be leaving around $10-$15 mil on the table.

How is that twisting a stat? A fact is a fact but it's not good enough cause he's not a great 1st basemen who took a shit load of money that he was offered. Hitting bombs and driving in RBI's isn't easy and yet overlooked by many here. Howard was probably one of the 3 biggest reasons we won the 08 world series,yet he gets killed for his throwing. Blanton is a real good #5 pitcher who does get killed unfairly,yet he gets the benefit of doubt because he dosen't make 25 mill a year. That to me shows just why great athletes couldn't wait to leave in the past. To kill a player who is on a record pace at the BIGGEST RECORD in sports is NUTS!! Obviously he won't come close because of age but man the negativity is just plain rude. If he hits 50 bombs and makes 10 throwing errors certain people will only bring up the latter and that shows why Philly fans sometimes are just plain clueless.
How is that not twisting a stat? It's the same thing as me saying, well Ruth had a lower ERA over his first 4 seasons than Howard so he is clearly better. You can't even think about comparing Howard to Ruth over their first 4 seasons because they played completely different positions. Saying Howard has more home runs over his first 4 seasons or whatever, is fucking pointless.

this made me laugh.
also, for the 2 billionth time...no one is saying they don't like howard, just saying he's comically overrated in philly

as long as your money is not on the phils, i love it.
as i mentioned..i always bet my summer home peep
and like i said he is obviously a monster price
i know iam probably gonna lose this bet..but if he can somehow keep it close...

The competition wasn't as good as it could have been because the league didn't allow ALL players to play

don't care about the reason, i just love your money on the nats dude!
maybe ill switch to roy to give my boy a chance
As I always say, let the steroid users in the hall because every era had its issues.
isn't he the dbag that broke utley's hand a few years back?
Prices on the phils are insane this year. If I wasn't a phils fan I'd be betting against them too. Especially on the road
Neily, I think I'm putting a small bet on the boys in blue to win their series
Anyone that is mad that werth left for the money needs to get a clue
what do you mean? kiner hit so many HRs. that means he was an awesome player!
...are you trying to say ralph kiner wasn't a great player? :?
dude did a whole lot more than hit home runs.
But he never had more than 127 RBIs. HE SUCKS!
That was sarcasm. I'm not taking the bait and getting into a ralph kiner debate.

i would love to get all these goof balls in a room together
huh? there's no bait. he was one who held the fastest to 200 hr thing that howard broke.
The Ryan Howard debate is worth my ten club membership alone.
this made me laugh.
