    i will not try playing rugby on turf or grass. i am an american.

    have you read the Harry the K book yet? i know i've mentioned it here before but it is gold jerry. gold.

    i am at the dreaded wheels chapter right now. incidentally i blame harry's bitch 2nd wife more than wheels for the issues they had.....but during the '03 season, in trying to demean him, harry kept referring to wheels as "chris" on the air. wheels became furious because he knew everyone knew him as "wheels." so he threw a tantrum during one of their commercial breaks and went "I'M WHEEELS!! i know what you're doing! call me WHEELS on the air! iI'M WHEELS. damn it!....you can't make this up. GOLD.

    Is that the one they were selling in Wawa? If so, it's been sitting on my coffee table for a while now.

    not sure. if the one you have is called "Harry the K," by ruben miller....read it.

    Nah, it's not the same one. I'll have to check that one out because this one seems like a puff piece. I CAN'T STAND Baldo Tits Magee and Chris Wheels Pedderass any longer. They are killing me. The only time I'm not stressing for them to shut the fuck up is when Sarge joins Tits for the middle innings. Notice how less Tits talks when Sarge is there. I need LA and Franske on TV.

    Oh, also.....so you guys got nothing going on at 230 in the morning either huh?

    my woman got home from Chicago around 11 after a rough flight and pretty much told me to do it myself if I wanted anything. Yeeeah thats why I am talking basebal at this time.
    hahahaha

    ouch

    Dude, seriously, Rollins better than Jeter? Come on. Let's put it this way - I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, HAAAAATE the Yankees. But I like Derek Jeter.

    be very thankful you live where you do and don't have to deal with spoiled 30 and under yankees fanbbase who only know what winning is about and throw down that lame we won 27 world series championships line to you. be thankful you don't have to listen to yankees fans calling up your local sports am radio station saying hey lets get cliff lee for our 2 catching prospects. be thankful you can wear phillies gear in your city and not get shit like i do for wearing mets gear in mine. until all that only then can you truly hate the yankees like i do.
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

    Cliffy and The Fixer - you two must be women. you twist around my words to make it like I said Ryan Howard was better than Ted Williams and Jimmy Rollins is better than Derek Jeter. Never ever said either thing.

    and A-Rod is not a better 3rd baseman than Mike Schmidt was.

    but like women you two are always right, because you fantasy-geeks think OBP and OPS and whatever else stupid ass acronymns morons are (defensive stats, really?) coming up with today, rule the world. I cannot stand arguing sports with fantasy-geeks. they have no clue about teams and sports in general because they think you can put winning teams together by throwing out stats. doesn't work that way. good luck guys - hope you win your geek-laden fantasy leagues.

    I don't play fantasy football or baseball and I don't think stats are the end all be all but they are a very good way to predict what will happen in a baseball game.

    Funny, freidman the rays gm did a pretty good job putting a team together using stats

    uh no Utley is not the best Phillie ever by a long shot. Mike Schmidt won multiple MVPs, hit over 500 home runs (before steroids and short parks) and was one of the greatest defensive 3Bs of all time. Utley is great but does not reach Schmidt's level. I saw Schmidt in his prime when I was a kid, did you or do you just assume Utley is better?

    and Ryan Howard has won 1 mvp and was 2nd in voting another time. Utley hasn't really come close. Love Utley and think he is awesome but to say emphatically that he is the best Philly ever is absurd. would it kill Chase to hit .330 or hit 40-50 homers? He has done neither yet. in no way am I disparaging Utley - just saying he has had some darn good years but never really a dominant season like Howard has.

    yeah, I grew up watching schmidt too. utley plays a premium defensive position and he's a better hitter. home runs are shiny and nice, but I'll take the guy that hits for average and power, and plays great defense at a premium position...not to mention utley's incredible OBP and baserunning. utley helps the phillies win more than any other player in team history

    people love to look at homers and RBI. there is much more to baseball than that.

    mvp and individual awards are stupid...they are voted on by sportswriters that have no clue what they're talking about. Jimmy Rollins won an MVP too...do you think that makes him better than utley? derrek jeter has never won an MVP...is rollins better than jeter because rollins has won an MVP? of course not. those awards are meaningless. a couple of years ago edinson volquez got 10 votes for NL ROY...he wasn't even eligible for the award.

    rating players based on awards is just plain weak
    after all this period of time i relieved 1 thing your clueless. Your posts seriously hurt to read,u seem like a good dude but please stop embarssing yourself.

    first of all, how did you pass 2nd grade? your/you're...learn them. second of all, your post makes no sense. 'I relieved 1 thing your clueless'...what the fuck does that mean?

    finally, if you want to disagree with me, that's fine. Just bring something to the table and explain why you disagree.

    new phillie fans are so annoying

    yes it was Sabermetrics and not the 5 or so top 5 draft picks they had (bangs head against the wall)

    Or how about a combination of the draf and statistics. He was on the rays- red sox broadcast the other day talking about how much he values advanced stats. There is nothing wrong with looking at these stats and fighuring out which ones you think are important. I do not like all of them.

    With your whole enlarged font of history of the game motif ya got going on there. It's not going to go on for much longer. I know as Phillies fans, we don't have much to hold onto when it comes to history, and as I can see, it is sacrilege to say anything opposed to good ol' Stache. And gold gloves are like offensive linemen going to the Pro Bowl - once you're voted in once, you become a name and your name alone will send you back every year as long as you're not hurt.

    seriously...bobby abreu won a gold glove and he was the biggest pu ever to play RF for the phils. and palmeiro won a gg one year where he played like 15 games in the field that entire season (was DH most of the year).

    gold gloves are more meaningless than MVP, ROY awards, or RBI

    (schmidt played on astro turf his whole career...brooks played on grass--lot tougher on turf

    dude, you're wrong again. there are no bad hops on turf...grass is tougher.

    keep sending emails like this and we are putting you on probation

    Tits Magee is classic. Best show ever.

    and I agree...the broadcast is horrendous, except for Sarge and his unintentional comedy

    never said he'd be fine, I said I wasn't going to worry about him in april since he is coming off an injury. I don't worry about the closer this early in the year...plenty of time to get the pen straightened out

    you just enjoy disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing, don't you?

    the ball gets to you a lot quicker on turf so you have less time to react. especially at a position like 3rd base....this is not to mention the greater physical toll it takes on your body.

    and, i don't believe i have ever sent you an email. not sure what you are talking about there, guy.

    dude you get true hops on turf. talk to any infielder and they will tell you they'd rather have a true hop. grass cutouts are what causes dudes to get drilled in the face or balls by bad hops.

    only reason players prefer grass to turf is because it's a lot more forgiving on their bodies. as far as playing the position though, turf is much much easier.

    the email thing was good...haha

    you were just swole when they let him go. you said they should bring him back, not that they needed to (or something along those lines). when I brought up the fact that his OBP, SLG, and OPS were among the worst in the league, you said that stuff didn't matter. we can go to the archives if we need to, but I really don't feel like looking back thru the thread

    point is, you were wrong with what you said about feliz
