    nice. that yanks game was great last night. I HATE the red sox and their 8 million fake fans. especially papelturd. and pedroia. and youkilis. you get the point.

    I would love to see Arod take one in the ear though. I don't know how you root for that guy. he might be more fake than the red sox fan base

    Haha, I have a lot of friends that write for Yankees blogs and they all just went the the Bloomberg Sports demo. They said it was a huge stat fest.

    Now I LOVE that new technology they're using. I feel like I'm watching stocks.

    And if you can, get Doc to blow you a kiss for me.

    yeah, it was unreal. I had a whole lot of problems with how girardi handled the bullpen but all is well that ends well i guess. I hate boston so mcuh. especilly those three. Love their fake fans in pink hats, Fenway is starting to look a little empty from time to time now, haha.

    You say this all the time and I never took the bait. I definitely get where you are coming from, but if you have watched him since last year and the whole steroid thing, he has done a complete 360. It's like he finally fucking gets it. I was never a fan of his personailty. It was always just whatever anyone wanted to hear and all that but the dude has really changed a lot. It probably takes watching him on a daily basis to see it and when all you see is shit like the Braden situation I can definitely see where you are coming from. But the dude is much more part of the team now, whereas before he was in his own world. Seems like the team finally likes him.

    Edit: I think the final straw was when Jason Zillo the head of PR for the Yanks went to Arod and said something like "you are the best player on the New York Yankees and not one person likes talking to you"

    Yeah, I hear it is great. I havent really seen too much of it but with a couple minor changes i hear it is going to be pretty awesome.

    Haha. Chances of that are not too good.

    so you're saying girardi is taking after torre with the pen...haha

    I have the MLB package and I watch a ton of baseball. admittedly I don't watch every yanks game (after the phils and mets...I probably watch the rays the most. Love watching that team of young beasts). Arod may have improved, but he's still a squid. I just think his entire persona is fake. He makes my skin crawl. And I really don't hate the yanks. I don't like them, but I don't hate them either. Just Arod.

    That Zillo quote is great.

    I obviuosly get the package as well. I tend to watch Boston, Rays and Phillies once the Yankees end.

    It was brutal...Loogan stinks, Chan Ho for 2 innings (coming back from the DL) and Javy with 2 on and 2 outs in the 8th)

    I do hear you, Arod is one of those players everyone hates. Things have changed a lot over the last year or so, he was only ever really good friends with Melky and Cano, now he is everywhere and I know it sounds dumb but he and Jeter do get along much better again, they are always together in the dugout.

    Dude is an animal at the plate though, after Tex gave the ball a ride last night in the 9th, I knew Arod was going to hit it out.

    All I know is tonight better not get rained out. 1) I wanna see Doc just drub this AAAA team, and 2) Doc is scheduled to pitch Sunday if he goes tonight.

    i want to completely demoralize these fraud fans and this team to make up for the drubbing we got a few years back. last year, what did we take 2 out of 3 from them? could have been the other way around. i dont quite remember. but back in 07 or 08...i remember they came into cbp and just completely smoked us all 3 games. now, we return the favor.

    GO. PHILS.

    '08 I believe it was. I remember being at the Sunday Night game that they should've won. Manny threw a foul ball in the stands to some fans, and they threw it back at him on the field. It was awesome.

    And last year I think they only won 1 game(the Phils) because I believe I was at that game, and I remember being at the Tower for the Eddie show during another and they lost that game which they should've won with a Dobbs PH walk-off but they called it foul, which was BS.

    I think Doc is starting to come down with Cole Syndrome. Ya know, that's when your lineup knows your a nasty pitcher, and decides to mail it in for the night, especially when your playing an inferior team. I'm sure you've all seen it enough with Hamels in '07 & '08.

    Totally agree. This getting ridiculous. A complete game loss? That's something I would do on MLB: The Show.

    Alright, I get that Halladay is a horse and is the best pitcher in baseball. I also get that the Phillies bullpen is an adventure. What I don't get is why you let him go so far in a meaningless game against the Pirates on May 18th. The dude already has 71 innings on his arm and the season is not a quarter done. At this rate he is going to pitch 280 innings in the regular season then you guys would hope for another 40-50 or so in the postseason. 320 innings and effective? I don't see it.

    Edit: Dude is fun to watch though.

    the red sox kill the phils every time they come here.

    I think it's funny when people use 'us', 'we', 'our' when they talk about their favorite teams. are you on the team?

    I remember watching the end of one of those games after the tower show. kendrick came in in extra innings and every phils fan knew the game was over

    I had to listen to some boston douche tell me that bard could throw 103. and he was serious. red sox have the worst fans in america...any sport.

    it takes more than players/coaches/front office/etc to make a team. if it wasn't for us fans, the teams wouldn't around to long, so it doesn't seem that far fetched to say we.

    and I actually think "we" played a part in the 2008 World Series win. the Phils crowd was insane for that playoffs, ask CC Sabathia and the Rays. No doubt fans can have an impact, positively or negatively.

    trust me I know...I was at 6 playoff games alone in 2008 (7 if you want to count both game 5's of the WS). 'WE' are the fans...'they or the phils' are the team.

    it just sounds gay saying 'we, our, us' when you're talking about a team you like. fans aren't part of the team
