    Really, between these two teams, my head cannot walk through doorways.

    Just like you personally won 27 World Series. :lol:

    Fixer, I think I'm going to get an extra plan for next year. Think I should mix it up and get one of the 17-game plans?

    Isn't there a waiting list? Or your buddy will take care of it?

    I love the 17 game plan. What do you have, Sundays? We take a few Sunday games from a buddy every year, but I wouldn't want to go to all the Sunday games.

    There's a waiting list for the Sunday plan, but not the 17's I don't think. And, yeah, I'm sure this dude could hook it up as well.

    I love the Sunday package. Being down in FDR at 11 in the morning tailgating is a beautiful thing. Plus, it makes Sundays a lot better.

    Div Series HG 3. :roll:

    World Series Game 6. :shock: :D

    I got hooked up. I think it's based on how long you have had your tix.

    NLDS game 2
    NLCS game 1
    WS game 7

    Holla

    Nice. I guess Blake fixed my shit.

    LDS Game 1
    LCS Game 3
    WS Game 7

    I had two plans last year. I just wanted to have more playoff games. Then when my playoff tix arrived I got all the same games. I made a lot of money on them, but my plan didn't work out the way I wanted it to.

    If you do add a plan, go with Plan A so you can join our tailgates

    now tell us how much howards defense has improved :lol::lol:

    also, you must really be pissed at halladay's effort today...ya know, since he hasn't met your expectations :roll:

    come on you have to admit the irony of it is pretty funny.

    all i care about now is keeping Halladay, Lee and Hamels and the offense healthy and sharp for October. i'm just enjoying the winning.

    and as for my hiatus i couldn't resist pointing out such irony. but i still don't feel the need to argue here anymore. at least until october. enjoy.

    the lineup is still worse than last year's version that shit the bed. even though they are the favorites (2:1 to win the WS right now)...this team is far from a lock to win anything.

    cautious optimism boys. philly teams historically suck balls as favorites. actually, think about it...has a favored philly team EVER won a championship? I can't think of one

    I didn't think the sixers were favored vs LA. Wasn't sure. Even if so they were only slight favorites. I didn't think the flyers were favored in either of their cup wins. I know they werent against boston

    point being, even if it has happened, those occurances are few and far between

    I think the Sixers were favored in 77, 80, 82 and 83, and finally came through in 83.

    75 Flyers were clearly favored as defending champs with (critical) home-ice adv over the up-and-coming French Connection Sabres.

    I'm sure the 29 A's were big favorites after blowing away Ruth, Gehrig & the Yanks in the pennant race. 8-)

    sixers were also favored in 84 and then lost to the nets in round 1

    2000 flyers was the worst of all of the letdowns IMO. I can't even talk about it

    2000 Flyers choked and lost a big lead, but I didn't think of them as being "favored" going into the Devils series. They had a history of struggling vs. the Devils at that point, and it was quite shocking when they were up 3-1. Still, you're right, it's easily in the Top 5 worst sports moments I can remember.

    -2010 NLCS

    1991? no way. anything with buddy ryan and randall cunningham involved shouldn't be considered a letdown

    also, 2 of the 3 flyer losses in 2000 ECF final 3 games were at home. that series was the worst. it was like getting kicked in the balls for a week straight

    considering this town has 1 championship in the last 30 years, favorites and underdogs alike have struggled mightily.


    it is officially hitting season gentlemen.

    best offense in league since july 1st too.

    told you there was nothing to worry about. ;) :thumbup:
