So, I'm going to Bensalem - Phillly Park casino on Saturday for a bachelor party. How is it playing blackjack there? Any suggestions or inside hints on best places to drink, play table games, etc? If I win big, will I get mugged on the way out?

Maybe my wife doesn't know that she can tell me I can't go. I didn't think to ask permission.

Of course, I took care of the little guy when she went to the shower, so at least it's working both ways.

it's always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

So these scheisters are on top of sending out invoices. Seat prices are up $2. And I'm fine with that, if it means you keep spending money where it's needed.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna be putting down the 33% deposit. Can't afford to put it all down at once at the moment.

Apparently I read Lopes was asking 250k for his job and Rube wouldnt give him that. To me that seems like pennies for these guys.

That's pretty damn ridiculous if it's true.

It had to be around there. I can't imagine the difference was more that $50k or so. The Yanks hitting coach has been making $400k and just got a raise, so I would think $250k would be pretty accurate for first base.

this loser thread is still going?? :wtf:

I'm kidding ....I love how you guys dissect every little nuance of your Phils. meanwhile, my GIANTS thread died 2 days after they won the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. :wtf:

don't be fooled tho....there are Giants fans (like me) who can discuss the past, present and future for hours and hours on end. they just don't post here ....or, maybe they're still hungover!

enjoy it man. the 2011 season will be here before you know it (hopefully ). your squad has a lot of decisions to make.

If I hear one more rowand to the phils rumor I'm going to puke. Great guy, but I don't want him back here.

yeah, I am sure. I am suprised Girardi got such a small raise. I guess with the Cubs job out of the picture he didn't really have much leverage.

It feels damn good doesn't it? Now, you have to make yourselves the favorite for 2011. This time you need to be consistent and not lucky. Because luck runs out.

But, yeah, how bout Burrell? Two rings, one hit. Ridiculous.

Alive, I'm assuming you hit the parade?

people have actually thrown around that idea too. a burrell/ibanez platoon would be the worst thing ever. I'd rather have greg luzinski in left field

Who's thrown that around? Seriously, who? Because I will find them and punch them.

Read that the Phils offered Werthless a deal similar to Bay's. I understand why he turned it down, but I can't really knock the Phils for trying.

I guess that's what it is, but like I said, can't knock em for trying. Good chunk of change, just not all the years he wants.
