    Sweet. I'll ask around for the chick with the psycho pearl jam fan boyfriend. Then hit on her. :thumbup:

    Hey, I welcome this Yankee douche in here any time. At least he lives in Philly, and he's good people.

    I apologize if I was being a douche. I'm sensitive to this yankee bullshit.

    any of you guys hitting the MSG shows? just booked my hotel and train today

    You're not a douche, and nor is he a douche. He's just a Yankee douche is all. :mrgreen:

    Yeah, hitting up MSG 1. I'm back to being a college student so I couldn't get all nuts on expenses, nor go to both. Probably going to take the train up. Only problem is I fear not being able to take it back, what with the show probably getting done around 11 and the latest train leaves Trenton around 1215/30-ish.

    It's a phillies thread...we will worry about the yanks if both teams get back to the WS. Go play in the yankees thread

    No Yankees fans on the board right now to bullshit with and I love talking baseball.

    I love baseball too...I think it is far and away the best sport. I've been fiending for the season to start ever since victorino made the last out of the WS. I've got tickets to over 35 phillies home games this year and I usually hit a few road games each year...I've seen them play in pitts, balt, miami, chicago, boston, ny (citi field), and LA (dodger stadium). I fucking love it

    Not trying to be a dick, but I'm sick of hearing shit from yankee fans. most of my family is from NY. fuckers have been giving me an earfull for the last 5 months.

    I agree with you that tampa is gonna have a good year. Upton bounces back and has a huge year...Bossman Jr could go 40-40

    Best sport in the world. Thas awesome you have 35 games, I had saturdays at Yankee stadium until they switched over to the new stadium, was bitter for a minute but its a business and I only had tickets since '05.

    In all fairness, if you had come out on top, you would have been talking a little bit of shit yourself.

    Tampa is ready to bounce back, have a good lineup and a hell of a staff. Just not sure what happens if they fall 5 games bck, to they move Crawford?

    Dude, talk shit if the Phils won last year? Yeah right, that would've been the least of my enjoyments. I honestly think I would be dead. If the Phils won in, say, 5(I was there for that one) AND those 4 PJ shows???? Fuck.....thaaaat. No, I know I'd be dead.

    I hear ya with expenses. I went through a layoff last year. Had a sick job that was paying me by the boatload (Im in medical sales). Losing that job was a tough pill to swallow. I'm back to work, but not making nearly as much as I was. This economy sucks balls. Going back to school is a smart move

    I will be at the second show, Fixer if you are around a beer or two is on my up in my hood.

    JP, I usually drive to trenton if I think it is going to be late but you always have Amtrak to fall back on. A few extra bucks but well worth it.

    Yeah, that's what I'm going back for actually - economics. Figure it's better to be where you're needed most.

    So, do you guys have any input on the train situation? Taking it up there during the day is fine because there's plenty of time to get back, but how bout this show? Ya think I'll be able to make NJ Transit/Septa back?

    EDIT:

    Clif, got ya. I'm not too accustomed to the Amtrak one. Can I take that back from Trenton? And how much is that?

    I haven't been to the new yankee stadium yet. My pops used to take us to games there every summer when we'd go north to visit my grandparents. almost went to game 6 last year, but my buddy wouldn't dish out the money for stubhub tix (I was ready). I'm glad he didn't

    can't say I wouldn't have talked shit, I definitely would have. especially to mets fans. I honestly don't mind yankee fans most of the time. I think the bandwagon red sox fans are 10 million times worse. losing the WS to the yanks was tough because I know so many yankee fans.

    rays should trade crawford...they have jennings ready to step in for him. crawford and werth are gonna be yankees next year

    Nice. I'll be at both shows. I don't post on this board a lot, but it would be cool to meet some people that have similar interests (PJ and baseball are 2 of my favorite things). We will have to meet up for beers before the show. I'll check with you as dates get closer to see what bars are decent near MSG.

    Now I just need to come up with an excuse to tell my wife as to why I'm heading to NY for 2 nights

    Just check at Penn Station if you are going to make a connection in Trenton, if not just wait for Amtrak. It runs pretty much every hour. At that hour it is usually $47, a good bit more but worth the safety of knowing you have transportation. There are a lot of options, you can get home no matter what.

    my BS degree is in economics. I thought I wanted to go into trading stocks. That didn't work out and now I'm not using any economics at all. If I could do college over I would just take general business admin classes. The upper level econ classes are fucking hard...I would have taken more general shit and cruised through school, rather than busting my ass for average grades in those econ classes.

    Amtrack tix from 30th st to penn station are only 35 bucks...I've done this a few times and it couldn't be more convenient. I have no clue about getting back to philly/trenton after the show

    Dude, to your other post, I couldn't fucking imagine if both Werth and Crawford were Yankees next year. I think Crawford is a Yankee unless he has a major injury. He knows it and the Rays know it. I just don't think Werth is in the Yankees plans, especiallyh with the possibility of CC opting out.

    Definitely dude, It would be great to grab a drink. There are a couple bars nearby that I like a lot even thopugh that part of town sucks balls.Definitely keep in touch.

    There were curbside buses from NY to Philly that left from Penn Station as well, I know Bolt Bus does not leave that late but not sure if there are still others. There is a good chance there is.

    what do you think of the granderson addition? the media is blowing cashman for that move, but I don't think he had the best offseason. granderson's splits are worse than ryan howards. he is solid in CF, but I think I would have rather had gardner/damon over granderson/winn. damon had the biggest play in the WS with that 45 minute AB, then double steal. they will miss him

    I'm getting my PhD in drinking and betting on football

    I love it to be honest, I was really looking forward to Austin Jackson but all they would hope for him to be is something close to Granderson. I look at it as, they traded a player with the potential to be Granderson for Granderson. Damon is a really tough out but I could really see him regressing this year. He is a shitty LF with zero arm and questionable legs. It's better to get rid of a player a year too early than a year too late, right?

    What it comes down to, I think Granderson/Johnson will be just as productive as Damon/Matusi this year given their ages. The Yankees got great years out of both Matusi and Damon but the chances of them repeating that at their age is highly unlikely. That said, I would have liked to see Damon back, Boras fucked that up.

    Plus, I think Kevin Long is an outstanind hitting coach and can get Granderson in line against Lefties.

    I think Cashman has had a great couple years, he traded for Granderson and Vasquez, both all-stars while keeping their three top prospects. As much as I love Melky, he is a 4th outfielder and Ajax is just a prospect. He got pieces that fit perfectly for them.
