    Soundgarden at festival pier? Bit of a strange venue, no?
    To me Soundgarden is just another avg at best band. Never really got into them and i tried back in the day.

    totally agree with this. I like a couple of their songs but I have no desire to see them live

    Fixer, apparently extra innings gets Saturday 1 pm games this year. Just got home from running errands, turned the tv on and the yanks were on.

    hasn't it always been like that? I thought just the games that conflicted with fox's 4 PM games got blacked out.

    I could be wrong

    JP, I was there Friday night and they were charging people to get into FDR park. Let us know if that's a permanent thing now.

    Ibanez looks like he's 64 years old. It's painful watching him in the OF

    yeah there is no excuse for that, he's gotta step it up. Way to go on getting out of that inning though.

    Ugly, but I'll take it.

    Hamels pitched great again today
  • dr0ptheleashdr0ptheleash Posts: 1,264
    He gives himself zero time to recover between pitches but I guess he's got it down to a science, at least today. He looked great. The bats were moving, and Placido came up big for one of my fantasy teams so I can't complain :D

    Like you said, it wasn't so pretty, but a W is a W is a W... Happy birthday to the Phanatic.

    Good win today,Hamels looked good like usually. It's awesome to see this team play small ball and win. Polly is a hitting machine and has played a damn good 3rd base. His homer looked like a double from were i was sittin behind home i was shocked it got out. Madson looks comfortable and Jose did his Mitch and Lidge impersonation today but pulled thru. This team is gonna blow thru the Nl this year with easy i believe.
    Go Birds!!!!

    One of your fantasy teams? I can't even maintain interest in one team for a 26 week baseball season. :lol:

    Good time today, despite getting stuck on the closed Blue Route on the way b/c some idiot flipped their car. Some bigger idiot didn't bother checking the PA Traffic Cameras app on his iPhone before we left. :roll:

    So my favorite restaurant got a 3-bell review in the Inqy this morning. :D

    Oh yeah, baseball - awesome sac fly for Chooch with 2 strikes. At least Raul managed to beat out the throw and avoid the DP, which allowed the sac fly to happen. Nice game for Hamels. I think this guy's gonna be good. ;)

    Was down there yesterday and I didn't get charged. We got there at 1045/11-ish so maybe they weren't out yet. That really blows if it becomes a common occurrence. I'm heading back down for tonight's game, so I'll let ya know what the deal is. Dollar dog night, yo. No need to eat the rest of the day...

    Breaking news: hot dogs actually cost less than a dollar outside the ballpark! You can buy a package of 8 for about $3 I believe.

    Sorry, I don't understand why everyone has to turn dollar dog night into a freakin' eating contest. :roll:

    shhhh johnny, some on here tend to throw a hissy fit if you question anything about their behavior.

    I don't read much of either of them but I find that whole thing pretty hilarious. There are much worse jobs than being an MLB beat writer, even with the travel and deadlines.
  • The FixerThe Fixer Posts: 12,837
    I think Murphy's blog is fantastcic. I have never read one of Gonzo's articles. He doesn't strike me as someone that should be a sports journalist...he'd be better on TMZ or some shit like that.

    Also, dollar dog night is awesome. Yes, you can get them cheaper at the store, but there is nothing better than a dog at a baseball game. And for some reason they taste even better when they're one buck instead of four.

    one of the comments was hillarious. mentioned something about how mainstream media always knocks the blogosphere and shit...yet here they are having a hissy fit on their own blogs and twitter.

    great to see fightins back at it. the article about LA dozing off during the 8th yesterday was funny. franske's slight knock on zumoff and snow was gold jerry, gold. :mrgreen:

    any of you guys seen The Killing on amc yet?

    pretty powerful stuff. might be my new favorite show...

    Never even heard of it. The Fixer is strictly sports in april.

    Jeags, you seem to watch a lot of TV shows. I am going to promote you to be my TV watching advisor. I'm always last to catch on to shows...by the time I start watching something it's usually the end of the show's run.

    there's 2 nights a week that tv is decent: sunday and thursday. i've heard nothing but good shit about this Killing show. sat night with no phils game was perfect to catch up on the first 2 episodes. very atmospheric. well written. deep characters. catch it on demand when get the chance.
