I hear ya. I could totally be talking out of my ass here but I think an environment like philly, where he knew his half assed shit wouldn't fly, would bring out the best in him. When I was at the WS games in 08 I remember thinking how awesome I thought he was gonna be. He made everything look so easy. And that bomb he hit vs boston in the playoffs (same year) sticks in my mind too. I don't think that has landed yet
The thing is though, its not like he is playing for some terrible team. He has been playing with a pretty damn good team for the past few years with a very good players manager that doesn't take much shit. Granted the team is young, but it seems like it's a pretty motivated team in general. Granted, he would have some more veterans around but it's not like he has been playing in Pittsburgh or some shit like that.
If there is rain possibly it could get ugly drinking all night in the concourse
This happened a couple years ago. They last-called in the 3rd inning. I had had 5 beers.

No doubt the dude has insane potential though.
He had that major shoulder surgery (in '09 I believe). He has openly said that f'd him up for a solid year.

5-20 in the WS. I just remember being scared shitless every time he came up...and especially when he reached base (he also had 3 SBs in one of the games). He'd instantly become their best defensive OFer. Love how shallow he plays.
Anyone see the Detroit setlist from last night? Not good times
The Detroit setlist is absolutely insane. What the fuck did they do to get that?
Yea really. Off He Goes and Immortality. I think Jake made up for it though.

If one of those stupid SABR stats accounted for DPs he would've had one of the worst World Series ever. (prob along with Howard in 2009)

You're crazy. Then again, I've seen springsteen a billion times, so I'm used to the real thing. Saturday's setlist was a letdown...especially if you compare it to some of the other shows thusfar.

Would you put him in right or move Shane?
move victorino. upton covers twice as much ground. and victorino has a better arm
Clifton to pull the ball to the right side.......well, hopefully...
Even better....
Bad ass.

He'd drive me crazy, but I'd do it.

I know, I know - it takes intelligence and strategy. Well, plus, watching your team get cut up by a surgeon.
Yea really. Off He Goes and Immortality. I think Jake made up for it though.

of course not.
don't worry, the phils offense will keep your gay team in this game
move victorino. upton covers twice as much ground. and victorino has a better arm
Yeah, I'd do the same.
Hell, that proposed trade for Hamels for his bro Justin I still like. Yeah, that's right, I said it.
Even better....
they're both beasts. I wouldn't trade hamels though
they should hit lee 5th and let him play LF on his off days

I'm just sayin that if we find out that they can't afford Hamels long-term, which they should be, I would make that move.
If they can't afford hamels, then a certain someone becomes even more enraged about a certain existing contract.
