    I enjoy the banter as well because we always win when it counts !

    Calm down with this always business. It's been two years..one barely decent and one great year, with a little help from our inept Metropolitans..it'll be at least another 20 years before you guys celebrate anything remotely resembling a successful season ;) ..

    As long as the Mutts are in our divsion we will have success

    Theres no way to say it will be another 20 years...I realize not winning since '86 makes you a little bitter

    :P

    Yeah well as a kid I became a fan in 1988. Ever since then been a die hard Met and Jet fan with no championships to speak of between the two..just pain for over 20 years and counting..so yeah, you could say I'm a bit fucking bitter ;) ..

    i told ya we shouldn't have given moyer 2 years.

    he better get his shit turned around in the next 3 starts or else i predict an early (or i guess late) retirement.

    good that we won last night...but that wasn't a good win. lidge blows another and the pen is taxed a day before a double header. C'MON WORLD CHAMPS! GET IT TOGETHER!

    hear's to hoping the padres continue to play like poop so peavey becomes available a month from now. i heard due to the economy players will be available way before the trade deadlline if their team is way out of it. hamels and peavey at the top of the rotation....you can live with those numbers. we got the prospects to make it happen.

    Ok Phillies fans can you clear this up for me. I've only been to Citizen's Bank Park twice so I could be wrong about this BUT...one of my students is arguing that the fans going to a game at the Bank accurately reflects the demographics of the city. Is it true that roughly 55% of the attendees at a Phillies game are ethnic/racial minorities? I just don't believe that it is, but maybe I'm wrong.

    I go to a lot of games there and even on Asian and Latino Culture night, the stands are at least 80-85% white and I'm being generous with those numbers. It's probably higher than that.
    Thanks SOLAT I was fairly sure the kid was just being lazy. It's so freaking crazy that he is going to work in the field of sport management trying to get new customers to attend/buy stuff from a sport franchise and he doesn't see minorities as an untapped market. As you and I have discussed many times, the Red Sox (perhaps very necessarily given their history) are at the forefront of dealing with this, but how can this change elsewhere if I'm graduating students who don't see it?!?!? Oh well, good luck to your teams this year...sorry to jump this thread.

    After last night's Mets debacle, this seems like it would be more appropriate in the Mets' forum.

    after the last two seasons i think all mets fans would be wise to stick to their forum at all times. :lol:

    We need to distance ourselves from the Mets as quickly as possible...I have this starnge feeling we're about to go on a 15-5 in our next 20 tear

    I'm glad Charlie switched up the rotation with Moyer/Hamels. Tonight and Sunday should put some pressure on Cole. Cueto for the Reds, and then Sunday against Santana for the Yanks. Hamels seems like he's found his stride a bit, we'll know for show this week.

    I hope you're right about a 15-5 tear. This time last year, we were 1.5 games out, and 2 years ago, we were 7.5 games out. It'd be nice to have a lead in the division in June for once. :D

    Its hard not to bash the Mets when they continue to put Daniel Murphy out in the outfield. :D
    Nothing personal ;)

    Big series this weekend. I wish I could make the trip up to NY. Anyone going up? Something tells me that these are going to be highly offensive games with the exception of Sunday.

    I'll be down at the game Monday for $1 dogs! Diamond Club style! :D

    i guess they will let lidge go until romero gets back. hopefully he can come out of whatever the hell is bothering him until then. if not, make up an injury...let him refocus.


    big game tonight. moyer has OWNED the marlins in his career. if we can't get 6 solid innings out of him tonight, he's in serious trouble.

    Myers most likely done for the year ?

    I don't think we can have Blanton as the number 2 starter

    We need to make a trade for a pitcher

    The problem is everyone knows the the Phils need pitching right now and will hold the Phils over a barrel in return.

    It's kind of scary that it's just about June and after Hamels you have

    Blanton with a 6.14 ERA
    Moyer with a 7.42 ERA
    Happ who is unproven with 6 career starts in the majors
    and ???? at number 5 right now
