    I kind of like The R6 as Howard's nickname actually. It's a slow, lumbering train that's usually late and it's representative of Philly.
    I agree R6 is a cool name imo. Certain people hate everything Ryan Howard because he signed a big contract. Nevermind what he actually does on the diamond,but whats in his bank account is more important :roll: :?
    Go Birds!!!!

    I was there Friday Night !!! ALL ABOARD !!!

    I had seats in Sec 108 down the first baseline...J-Dubb the whole night was throwing the ball they warm up with in between innings to the crowd..does he normally do that ? or just started because of the fan debacle ?

    also, victorino is rapidly rising on my shit list. He's gotta catch that ball in right center late in the game (forget what inning...play where he slid into francisco). That was awful

    Another great pitching match up. Great way to enter the all star break with a sweep. :clap:

    again with the howard stuff? jesus guys....this thread's like a broken record.

    and The R6 is a helluva nickname. its perfect for him. ALLLLL ABOOOOOOOOARD!

    bats are still sleeping, but that was a great way to end the first half. bravos lost today so we're 4.5 out of first right now.

    polanco is gonna start rehabbing soon....if we can swing a decent starter and reliever (i dont trust lidge as far as i can throw him) in the next couple weeks, we'll be fine.....oh and if its true that they are willing to dump ibanez and bring up the kid, then god bless them for not being afraid to shake things up.

    GO. PHILS.

    i wonder what losing 4 straight does for Joey Votto's WAR? Well at least he had a great OPS this weekend and a great fantasy baseball weekend.

    But in all seriousness what a strange series. Didn't think the Phils played particularly well but somehow managed to win all 4. Kind of hard to believe as bad as this team has looked at times they are right there with the Mets and the wild card and not too far back from the Braves.

    nah, I hate all star games. They do absolutely nothing for me. The Derby is unwatchable due to the espn broadcast. Chris Berman even annoys me if I mute the TV

    We have been watching Dexter on Netflix. Probably be watching that all week. And Always Sunny reruns on comedy central tonight.

    this is the only all star game i like. its not the same as it used to be though.

    dexter is great. best show on tv. i love catching up on shows through netflix or on demand. watched all 5 seasons of weeds in a couple weeks recently. thats how i saw the first 2 dexter seasons too.

    yeah, we just got it a few months ago. First show I watched was the Wire. That is the best show I've ever seen. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it.

    Dexter is pretty good...we're on season 3. Season 1 was great, season 2 was just OK. Buddies have told me 3 and 4 are the two best.

    I'm like a crack fiend when I get a DVD in the mail. I just want to keep watching episodes

    How is Weeds? Never seen that one. Only premium channel I have is HBO. Not sure why I still have it since all of their shows stink (especially entourage)

    i hear that about the wire all the time. havent seen much of it though.

    entourage was absolute garbage last year. too early to tell, but i think they've rebounded a bit with this new season so far. we'll see.

    weeds is cool...just compeletely unrealistic--especially after the first couple seasons. very entertaining though.

    with dexter, season 1 was phenomenal. 2 was okay. i thought 3 was kinda stupid. but 4, with john lithgow, is mind blowingly great television. lithgow is a beast of an actor. something to look forward to for you

    The Wire is unbelievable. throw it in your queue next time you're ready to start a new show.

    I don't know what season entourage is on now, but I think it has sucked since season 3 (first 2 seasons were great). Now it's about how many celebrity cameos they can fit into each episode. I think the first 2 episodes have been horrendous. For the last couple of years I have asked myself why I keep watching the show...but I'm stupid and I keep watching. The only funny episode of the past few years was the tom brady episode. Lloyd is the worst character of all time...even worse than dexter's sister.

    Lithgow is a beast. he was great in cliffhanger, haha. He is a great bad guy. he's a poor man's john malkovich

    good call with dex's sister. deb is the worst thing about that show. i don't think she's even that hot. and i am a better actor than her.

    its almost impossible for entourage to live up to those first two years. i just accept that as fact. i dont mind the celebrity cameos though, because vince is an a-list actor and ari is the biggest agent in the world. naturally they will bump into big stars. jerry jones last night though...i could have done without that. and lloyd is trash. i miss that chick he had as his assistant in season 1.

    back to baseball guys - how can Charlie start Howard over Joey Votto at DH - doesn't he realize Votto's WAR is much higher and his OPS is off the charts? Man Charlie is a dumbass.


    ps: sarcasm guys, just being a wiseass no need to rip into me.
