Cliffy, the Yanks still had a significantly higher payroll than the Phillies so I don't see how you can "rub it in". :?

Expectations, payroll or not. We didn't see it as a foregone conclusion that there would be a parade down the canyon of heroes all year.

I knew it would get good in here today.

Besides Rollins,Utley and Doc the whole team sucked ass. It was a good season that ended way too early. If a fan of this team didn't enjoy the regular season then there not really a fan of that team. The ultimate goal wasn't reached and that can be blamed on the WHOLE TEAM. Oh and Vance worley sucking was another wrong statement.

just remember cliff, as long as the team does well in the regular season and makes the playoffs that's all that matters. most in this thread don't need to even watch the postseason since playoff success is gravy

and expecting the team with the 2nd highest payroll in MLB, who is favored to win it all, to get to the WS is irrational and pompous...even if some here were talking shit about this team all season.

That was my point yesterday or whenever. I was under the impression it was a cake walk to lifting the trophy, now no one gives a shit.

dude should we have expected a world series title or did the team suck and you aren't surprised they lost? you've been jerking yourself because you predicted a flame out but now you say you expected a world series title? which is it???

As i've said before i like Howard even though he's over paid. I've never said he wasn't overpaid,i said that he's been extremely productive.

your logic just does not make any sense.

on one hand: they suck! they suck! worst offense ever! horrendous bullpen! idiot manager! etc etc etc
on the other: you expected them to be in the world series and are shocked they didn't end up there. :?

you're bipoloar, right?

Shouldn't we be upating the thread title?

my logic??? you're the guy that consistently said how great this team was. even up to the day before game 5 when you wondered what everyone was freaking out about :roll: . then they lose and you say it's no big deal...that shit happens. so yeah, my logic doesn't make sense...oK dude whatever

you are overly optimisic brother. about all the philly teams (except the flyers since you don't like all sports)

I'm a realist. I said the phils were the best team in the NL all season. Everyone expected them to make the playofss and get to the world series (me included). the difference is tha I didn't think it would be as easy as you guys becasue I recognized a flawed team, not 'the best team ever' that everyone else saw.

hate me for being right. it's alright, I can handle it. I wish you would stop focusing on what I say and talk baseball more often. You still haven't expressed what you would do with the roster for next season. You just sit back and wait for me to say shit, then wait to pick me apart if I'm wrong (which doesn't happen often)

don't you see the irony? you said they would be in the world series...which is literally exactly where everyone else predicted they would end up. yet you come on here and spend the last 3 days saying "i told you so" "i told you so" like a little kid. that shit's funny to me.

and 102 wins was a great regular season. it ultimately came up short. shit actually does happen. what do you want me to say? the difference between you and me is that i can at least enjoy the baseball season. you've seemed miserable since youv'e started posting in here.

can't win the world series ever year dude. all the more reason to at least try to enjoy the ride.

Wobbie

you guys have been arguing for like 10 pages and no one's winning

fixer might be slightly ahead on points, tho.

and i find it funny that you're OK with a team winning 102 games and choking in round 1 of the playoffs. especially after you talked so much shit about how great this team was ALL YEAR!!!

it's pretty obvious you're not a baseball guy. the eagles lose in the playoffs and you demand changes. the phils pull off one of the biggest choke jobs in MLB history and it's no big deal. not to mention you still won't answer my question about what you'd do with the roster for next year. would be great to talk baseball with you for a change. for some reason you prefer to argue nonsense though

just make sure you keep the pom poms in a safe place so you can bust them out again next april. apparently you care just as much about the early season games as the playoff games ('what's everyone freaking out about? it's only a game 5 elimination game' classic).

makes no sense to me. then again I find most posts in this thread mind boggling

Alright so who does everyone want to see win the World Series? I'm gong with the Rangers cause they never won it before. And actually the Brewers never won it either. And both teams have been around since the 60's. Makes the "2-Time World Champion Florida Marlins" sound all the stranger.
