While our ballpark is on the small side, it's not the joke that is Yankee Stadium, that allows routine fly balls to RF to be home runs. It was smart, I admit, for them to sign Ibanez, knowing he hits the ball to that place all the time. Would've been a terrible signing for the other 29 teams.

So first Raul Ibanez won with a walk off homer the other night. Last night it was Jayson Werth. I'm thinking Jim Thome tonight. :corn:

It would be nice to see Thome do something like that. I could care less what their teams do, but good for Raul and Jayson. Is there anyone on the Phillies that can have an at-bat like Werth's? 12-13 pitches then a walkoff.
My joy for Raul left as soon I saw Jetta and Afraud celebrating Raul's homer.

314 to RF. I seriously think my high school field was bigger down the lines.

do agree with pjhawks though. was glad to see ibanez leave, but he's a guy I like to see do well

Don't watch many TV shows, but homeland is freaking awesome. Didn't see that one coming in tonight's episode.

I'm pretty sure he's guaranteed a hearing for 2013...then can become a FA after next year.

almost positive you're stuck with him for minimum of one more year.

They are just a bunch of pussies. Fuck the Cardinals. Go beat them all 3 games in front of their stupid fans. And Holliday will have some stupid excuse whenever they lose.

I don't have any love for you guys, but the Cardinals - they are a bunch of ass holes.

I've never seen a guy use his arms to grab the 2B's leg on a take out "slide." :roll:

for you, Johnny

sorry man, we tried to warn you.

If it makes you feel any better, we were all excited when the phils got him too. took us a few months to figure out that he really sucks.

have fun paying him in arbitration this offseason

how many other guys can hit a ball 3 times in one at-bat?? :thumbup:

I know how it feels when your team blows a 3-1 lead (another sport), and I'm very happy the Cardinals and their stupid fans have that feeling today.

I especially enjoyed seeing carpenter get rocked in game 6 (WTF was matheny thinking leaving him in so long?? it was obvious in the first inning that carpenter had nothing). Just wish that version pitched vs the phils last year.

herndon claimed by toronto. martinez removed from the 40 man. Time to start prepping myself for the inevitable disaster that is another amaro offseason.

I think we CAN offer arbitration, but don't have to. :?
