Good for the smoking babies fantasy team

FRED.

was down there last night. awesome seats behind home plate in hof club....the chants for freddy and then him delivering....fucking awesome. that right there is what makes baseball so great. hopefully they can build on this.


by the way---all the spoiled phils fans freaking out right now and hopping off the bandwagon are the same one's who barely paid attention prior to 2007. you know who you are. aaaaand you'll be back for the late season push when they get healthy.

xfiniity is pretty fucking cool. gonna be a lot of riff raff to deal with down there though. wish it were bigger. we walked through when the flyers scored a goal. place went nuts. they had the pa announcer and everything.

GO. PHILS.


carry on... my wayward sons.

Last night’s game was a pleasure to watch. And the fans chanting Freddy and then him coming through, was just as exciting to watch at home as I'm sure it was at the ballpark.

My sister said Xfinity is like one big food court. She went to an event at the Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday and she said that two of the restaurants weren’t even open and the rest of the place was mobbed. Every place had a two hour waiting time. Why did they make it so small?

Bizarre
On August 17,1957 CF Richie Ashburn of the Phillies hit fan Alice Roth twice with foul balls during the same at bat. :shock:
The first foul broke her nose, and then Ashburn lined a second ball into her as she was being carried off on a stretcher. :wtf:

Yep, that's a legendary story around here.

Whitey would've said about last night's Flyers game: "Had 'em all the way Harry."

(Didn't they call him Whitey while he was still a player???)

Ridiculous.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that Pat Burrell is signing with the Phillies again. It's only a one-day contract, and it's just so he can retire as a member of the organization. I think it's a classy move.

I love that he did this. I'm happy to see him retire as a Phil. Philly will always have their strange love affair with Pat the Bat.

I was at the game last night, had a great time. So funny to see Ty Wigginton smash that. I'll be there again on Saturday.. been waiting all season to break out the tailgate gear.

Saw one of you goons in a 10C hoodie last night - :wave:

Matt Cord on WMMR just played a tribute to Harry. tears hearing it. miss ya harry.

PureandEasy

Yeah I heard that too. I'll never forget Harry's day of passing, it falls on the same day as another death in my circle, as well as yesterday was the anniversary of the death of a very dear friend. My nana died in April too.

Baseball may start in April, but for the most part, April sucks for me. :(

dr0ptheleash

I remember getting the phone call about Harry from my dad. We both didn't say much, really such a sad day. Harry was like the grandpop I never met. RIP HK.

The Phillies know how to show their appreciation to a guy who worked so hard for them. As I said, they're a class act organization.

because the ryan howard haters would have to admit that he is pretty fucking good, that RBIs do matter, and not everyone can knock in a 120 runs a year

He's better than what they have but RBIs still? Nick Swisher has more RBIs right now than Cano, so he's clearly better, right?

Last year when me and the fixer were going at it I said this. There's no doubt that without 6 this lineup is below avg. Even if utley was here this lineup would blow. Sadly it takes injury to see a players true worth.

eeriepadave

wait who's #42 for the Phillies? :problem:

How enjoyable was that 8th inning? Starting to resemble a ballclub.

Well, I was away for a week with very limited internet access so I missed a lot of the 1st week but Doc is still awesome. I wonder who's pitching tonight?

He's carrying my fantasy team on his back.

Actually he's carrying my reality team on his back too.

And speaking of Doc, I uploaded a sweet video of him onto youtube about a year ago that I think everyone here will enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2f4mWpGG6E

You queers have a lot of people here. My woman ran into a high school friend.

I'm betting the phillies bats wake up timmy
