the article to go with it about the intensity of of the crowd and stuff for a mid summer game is pretty awesome.
yeah and I think it somewhat backs up my argument that McCarthy and Sarge aren't really THAT bad.
notice how i left out the part about the announcers? sarge is only good for the unintentional (mostly) humor.
but mccarthy's non stop talking makes me want to vomit.
I just don't know what you guys are looking for from your baseball announcers. All I'm looking for is a guy who is passionate about the Phillies being successful and knows stuff about the opposing players' historys (cause I know nothing). I think he does a fine job. Good enough for me.

i would like an announcer who understands how to let a game breathe.
you don't need to fill every second with constant blabbering. mccarthy is the exact opposite of everything that made hk an alltime great.

Exactly. And absolutely nothing seems authentic and genuine with him - it's all forced. Let the game speak for itself, inform me sometimes, and let me chuckle here and there. That's why Franzke and LA should just be a simulcast.
The other part is I don't think I would mind him so much if he wasn't with that pedophile, Wheels. Hating both of them is what makes it excruciating. If one of them went away would make it easier to deal with.
o/u on phils wins = 93. seems about right. thoughts?
yanks are only team higher at 93.5....
Probably the typical slow start esp with the big man out, but it's hard not to win 95 games with that beast of a pitching staff. Last year's team would've been around 105 wins if they didn't clinch so early, so a 10-12 game dropoff would be pretty significant.

What was their o/u last year? Wasn't it 98 or 97 and no one thought they'd go over? I'll take the over again. I'm thinking somewhere in the 95-97 range.

Welcome to hating him, it's fun. He's a dipshit. How the fuck does he know anything about Philly fans considering he played in Philly 3 times a year at most? Can't take anyone seriously who names their son Gunner "because its a badass name"

He's a good closer. Not sure if he's worth the money, but he's a real good closer and someone the fans will embrace I think. But it's totally classless for him to dis the fan base that worshiped him for so many years. I always got goosebumps hearing the first notes of his entrance song after several beers at Fenway. He was very intimidating for opposing hitters.
See, you and Jearl and the others on this thread are very intelligent fans and I know you guys see through his bullshit, but the masses at the ballpark will most likely adore this guy.

As much as I dislike Red Sox fans, it's terrible of him to. He's a douche bag, then again, I probably dislike him more than any player in baseball. Shut your mouth, thank Boston fans and be on with your career. I do think he gets rattled easily. You have had a couple seasons end at his hands.
Yeah, completely agree. How does he know anything about Phila fans - he's played about 12 games in Philly his whole career. :roll:

I was just reading on Crossingbroad - or one of those sites - that Papelbon said he was thrown a prosthetic leg to sign and he doesn't think that would happen here....then they refer to Lidge signing a wooden leg in '09 after they won the World Series.
Papelbon's in for a reality check if he thinks Boston fans are more freaks than us.

he doesn't sound too bright to go along with the douche factor.
did you see third eye blind is doing a concert to open up the xfinity place in a few weeks? third eye blind. yeah, we're not off to a good start there...

And his son's name is Gunner? I guess I'm predicting a picture outside that douchey place Gunner's Run in the Piazza.
Eh, I wouldn't expect anything better at an overly-corporate entertainment center. All I hope is that the Victory Beer Hall is sweet and that NBC Sports big screen is as good as they make it out to be.
On an unrelated note - finally heading down to Frankford Hall tonight. Can't wait.
Oooh - sweet. have fun!

you know he's a mets fan right?
the guy is horrible. Everything from his home run call to his fake laugh to his man tits to his non-stop blabbering

sounds obvious, but injuries are going to be key. position players aren't getting any younger.
I think 93 is pretty accurate. I'm still figuring out what I think about this team. I don't like their offseason moves a little bit.
good to have baseball back on (even if the lineup is in playoff form today). I don't want willis to make the team. I'd rather see diekman, purcey, or savery get a shot as the 2nd lefty. I also prefer podsednick to pierre.
blanton looking good. he gave some of his lbs to howard

The Fish and Nats got better so I think that's a fair number.

He should have had a shot at redemption with a start in game 5, but the manager is a complete and utter moron.
No, I haven't gotten over this yet
