Not even worth a reply.

I know there have been similar conversations about the lack of offense in 2008 (this year it was the inconsistency) and 2010, so it's not time to panic. We'll get it fixed.

still best record in the league although that is precarious at the moment. either way i think i've seen enough of Ben Francisco. How come it's the guys that annoy you the most that never get hurt or miss games? definitely went through same issues/feelings about the offense last year. just need some tweaks for this team.

The latest interrogation technique for the CIA is to force al Qaeda members to watch 100 Jimmy Rollins popups in a row.

haha thats pretty damn funny. jimmy has more weak outs than anyone. he kills me because just when i am ready to explode with him he will get a big hit like he did in florida. should be a 6th or 7th hitter on a good timie but with this team right now not a lot of options.

it's not cheap.

unfortunately its looking like it's priced all, or most, of my friends out. i don't see how you can do this without dropping at least a grand up there. just about everyone one of my friends are either cheap or broke. not a good combo.

how was vegas?

I just saw 334 for a pair, so 167 for the weekend? And if I go I'm gonna do the camping route.

How do you see it as expensive? Do you mean staying at hotels and what not?

Vegas was everything and more. Good times had by all. Did alright gambling, except for at the sportsbook, but lost most of my money on booze and the spearmint rhino.

I don't think Utley will make a major impact this year. I have a bad feeling about him for some reason. This Beltran trade makes sense as long as we don't have to give up a ton. Shit there better bringing up Joe Savery then playing that stiff in Rf. Calling Dom Brown get the FUCK UP HERE NOW.

keeping dane sardinio a minimum of 30 miles from the ball park will help.

the Phils will be all right, this is nothing new to us


PJ20 priced a lot of people out, mostly because of the inconvenience of where it is, not easy to get a good travelocity/expedia deal when you're flying into a city and staying 45 miles away from that city. My calculations had me at $1550 for two people, and that didn't include two very important incidentals like drinking and eating.

i guess camping is cheaper but none of my friends want to do that.

i was thinking of minimum $300 for flight, $167 ticket, then we were thinking of either getting an rv, renting a house, or getting a hotel for 3 nights....that plus everything else that comes with a weekend like that (booze, food, etc etc etc) should put you around a grand or so at least.

Yeah, that makes sense. I think if I do this, which I think I will be, it'll be driving out and camping.

I was hoping for some better bands too. Can't stand The Strokes.

The Juggler

i like the strokes a little....but yeah, definitely let down by the line up. hopefully there will be some big time late additions and special guests.

yeah. i'm not a camping guy....but i thought you could at least park an rv on the gounds and stay there for the weekend. but you can't. gotta drive to the camp grounds after the show and come back the next day.
