nice to finally win a series. now they need to win 3 of 4 from this terrible cubs team. heading down tomorrow night to see doc pitch. sadly I'm more excited to hit xfinity live than I am to go see this team

like to give some props to my high school baseball team (washington twp, nj), currently ranked 25th in the country by USA Today. We had an alumni game there last weekend. def a good time. program has produced some beasts
trevor may dominating AA. I don't think he's ready for the majors, but I wonder if they would consider trading him. He's their top prospect and was ranked in the top 100 by BA. Could bring a decent bat back in return.
Or maybe they think may could be their 5th starter when lee comes back and they could trade blanton/worley. I'm sure blanton wouldn't bring much in return, but worley could prob get them something decent. I'd trade him in a heartbeat if they think may is ready.
this picture would look a lot clearer if dipshit would get hamels done.

Only dipshit? You are getting soft.
Alright, alright, alright!

the mlb at bat app is awesome. finally got it this year. i wish there wasn't a 30 second delay with the broadcast though.
comes in handy when walking the dog or watering the grass and stuff (it is still april right? where's all the fucking rain at?? :x )
on the other hand....the phils struggling only amplifies how horrible mccarthy and wheels are on tv. i can almost tolerate them when winning 102 games...but not this year so far.
long season gentlemen. if they can continue to hover around .500 and not fall too far behind come mid june or so, we'll be alright when re-reinforcements come back. this stupid extra wild card might come in handy this year.

problem with this theory is that no one has any idea what those 'reinforcements' are going to provide...or if they can be depended on for the rest of the year assuming they do come back
if they want to actually do something in the playoffs this year (assuming they get there) they are going to have to improve this shitty offense. Not gonna be easy

true. but then you also have to assume some these guys in the current lineup will start to play closer to their career averages as the season progresses.
take 3 of 4 from this farm team this weekend, then you're back over .500, have won 5 of 7 and feeling pretty good before these division rivals come up on the schedule. we'll see what happens.
i kinda like being the underdogs again. been a while

see I disagree with the assumption that guys are going to improve to their career averages. This is an old team. None of these guys are in their primes (except maybe pence and victorino). Guys like wigginton, thome, mayberry, rollins, polanco...their best years are behind them. or they just aren't good in mayberry's case
april was supposed to be the easy part of the schedule. they have their work cut out for them. amaro needs to get his ass in gear and start figuring out how to fix this mess he's constucted (which I have no faith will happen)

honestly did you think their record would have been significantly better at this point?
i didn't. those guys are past their prime, but they should start to play at least to where they were the last couple years.
talk to me in mid june. if they're under .500 and 9 games back, then we're obviously screwed. way to early to say that now.
I'd like to see a Juggler/Fixer boxing match. One time for all time. Ryan Howard in Juggler's corner. Fixer's mom in his corner. Phillie ball-girls holding up cards with the round numbers. The Phanatic as the ref. Ruben Amaro, Charlie Manuel, and myself as the judges. 10 rounds. No three-knockdown rule. May the best man win.

no shit. least surprising news of the season...thome injured his back
if amaro picks up abreu I am taking him out
i wouldn't say stinks (although at times they play like it). They are about "average" now. They still have great starting pitching and their offense every so often comes out. :?

laynce nix comes up to some gangster rap song. my suspicions of douche have been confirmed.
I really don't like this team at all. chooch, rollins, the big 3...victorino is 50/50...pence is ok. that's about it. I will like thome again once he's not on the roster anymore
But wasn't it u who said anyone could produce in that spot? U wanted Gload to start. And i'm not trying to start the whole R6 debate again,i'm curious.

okay it's been fun kids. be good.
with the schedule that they have played, yes I thought they'd have a better record than they do.
if you don't see the offense being an issue...well, then I don't know what to tell you.
then again, you're the one that called the wigginton move 'solid'
really? if you think i think the offense isn't an issue then your reading comprehension hasn't improved at all has it?
you're better than that...right? :?
talk to you later.
typical response when the convo turns to actually discussing baseball. was really hoping that you were going to work on that this season.
run along and study up now.

Seriously though, do you? I'm not being a smart ass.
dude, the lineup sucks even with howard. but yes, when you replace him with thome, mayberry, nix, wigginton he looks like cabrera or votto
