    I wouldn't give a one dimensional player $125 mill. especially at the easiest position to replace.

    I don't want to get into it again either. I'm just saying that this team's issues aren't going to be solved by howard. or utley. or a combo of the two. the last two years have proven this

    I don't mean to go off on one of my tangents. I'm just frustrated with what amaro has done to this roster

    No. And in fact, I agree with mostly every criticism you have of this year's team. But your constant negative posts are just so annoying. I mean, they're up 4-0 right now. Things are looking good tonight. But all you have to comment on is Lance Nix's gangster walk-up music and other things you don't like. That's all we ever here from you: whining about things that you don't like.

    yeah but that one dimensional player as u call him helped lead this almost same off to 102 wins. Yeah pitching was the main reason but some of those pointless RBI's are surely missed these days.

    the thing is, I'm not like that with all of the philly teams. I love what the eagles and flyers have done (sans vick). The phils and baseball are my favorite though. I have season tix (though prob not for long), so I am probably more critical of this franchise than the others.

    I probably do complain too much. It just pisses me off when i feel like I can run the team better than the current GM

    Now why do you say "though probably not for long" with your season tickets? Don't be a fair-weather Fixer.

    Now why do you say "though probably not for long" with your season tickets? Don't be a fair-weather Fixer.

    I don't think it's being fair weather. I will always follow them. Honestly, starting last year the games just weren't as fun for me. Not sure if it's getting older and having more responsibilities (with my job I'm not home much during the week...have a kid now...etc) or my general malaise for amaro and his endless list of shitty moves. or most likely a combo of those things.

    At the end of the day I think it would just be easier for me to go on stubhub and buy tix to games I want to hit rather than try to sell/give away my tix that I don't want to or can't use. I was down there on Friday. I met a bunch of friends at xfinity and we didn't even end up going into the game. We stayed there and got hammered. As I watched the game on TV I didn't regret my decision for one second, even though I had just flushed $85 worth of tickets down the toilet. 2 years ago I would never have missed the first pitch.

    Ha, just flipped back to the phils game. Awesome

    Has anybody called Papelbon "Cinco Ocho" in years past or is this a McCarthy original? It sounds beyond ridiculous.

    Papelbon works too freakin slow. so american league-esque. his half-innings are 10 minutes long. when you are used to your starters working so quickly to see this dude take 40 seconds between pitches is pretty annoying. get up a throw the damn pitch already. only good thing is between his pitches can see a good portion of the hockey game on opposite.

    I guess as long as he doesn't blow the save...

    Is Polanco back to life? Or just a temporary blip until he starts sucking again?
