    Utley is killing us defensively for the 2nd straight year in the playoffs - the Fixer's silence about it says a lot about him. imagine if it was the 1st baseman on this team being an abomination defensively 2 years in a row - to bad it wasn't a stray dog, he'd probably caught it then (i kid i kid). and how the F is that not scored an error, ridiculous. Chase needs to hit to make up for his defense.
    rs.

    come on dude. now's not the time to squabble about that nonsense again. chase looked like poop in the field and at the plate....but so did the majority of the team. we'll bounce back....

    Hence why I don't bother with this guy's posts anymore. Pathetic.


    me? am i wrong with anything i said above?

    Where are these empty seats you are talking about? Directly behind home plate?

    Now it's empty. Tommorrow when I am at my computer I will post the total attendance of the 2 teams since 1990. How do you think that will turn out?

    It's what I do at work when phillies fans who started showing up 36 months ago try telling me they are the greatest fans in the world. The wonderful thing is, I was one of the 35,000 people going to phillies games in 2006 while all these incredible die hards were where?

    Yeah, shitty loss. Big hill to climb.

    You found it jeags, that is what I was referring to this morning. The beating Hamilton took from the blecher creatures was also out of line, you don't have a fucked up past like that and get away with it in cf of yankee stadium

    beat it dude. seriously. i've been here for 3 decades. sunday plans at the vet before you even moved here.

    you're the one who posted the puking thing the other day. you can't handle a taste of your own medicine. go sleep off the back to back losses. they seem to be making you cranky

    most people don't necessarily hate the yankees, they hate their uppity fans. so when they act fraudulent, it's open season. like it or not. it is all for charity though. relax.

    Congrats dude, that's great. I just dont get how you guys can talk shit about anyone else when no one was showing up 3 years ago.

    How can I not take it? Didn't I say this morning that I had a problem with what happened last night at Yankee stadium?

    The Bank has been making a shit load of money since it opened. It's not like it's been baron in the least bit. Either way, I could care less if it was empty. More seats for me.

    And I love talking shit. I don't think anyone here can do it better than me, actually.

    good lord. :roll:

    you mean 3 years ago when the bank was on average about 86% filled to capacity? riiiiight.

    go look up yankee stadium's attendance figures before this run started 15 years ago on your computer tomorrow. i'll save you the trip--its mostly 25k and under. these phillies are your yankees circa 1997.

    GO.

    No doubt it has made money, a shit load. all new stadiums do and the phillies have done very well. No arguing that.

    Philly is a good ball busting city, gotta be on your game

    That is why I said I will look at total attendance since 1990. That is the past 20 years and includes before the Yankees run

    i'm looking at it right now. it's not a fair comparison since your run started about 12 years before ours. both teams attendance figures spiked up when the teams started winning. that is why your argument does not hold any water. i remember going back and forth with some fraud dodger fan about this same thing last year. that dude then proceeded to fall off the face of the earth.

    back in 96-00 when the yankees started winning world series' every other year there were 15,000 - 20,000 empty seats every night (with about 3x as many people in the ny area as compared to here) at yankee stadium. the bank, at comparable time in both franchise's history, is filled to capacity night in night out. admittedly a newer ballpark plays into that a bit/but the much higher population in ny evens it out. still disproves your point.

    either way...the point this week is fans giving up on their team by leaving a playoff game early, not that they didn't show up. that does not tend to happen here.

    Actually I'm looking at it now, and it's nothing too great to make some incredible deviations. It's actually surprising that from 95 to 99 when they were in the heart of that run that they broke 3 mil once. And that in a stadium that holds over 50g's didn't break 4 mil until '05.

    What's this all mean kiddo's? Nothing. When you win, more people than usual show up. Done and done.

    Johnny and I began to have this discussion a couple days ago. I believe the Yankees didn't hit 3 mil until 97 or 98. What really suprised me is how Baltimore was leading the league every year then. I can't really offer a valid response on my phone but if it all it includes is winnig years there isn't any period you can really compare the yankees attendance to the phillies, that's why I figured we look at the past 20 years when barball has peaked in terms of attendace overall.

    Listen, I am not trying to get into a pissing match about what team has a better fan base. I just don't think you guys have any room to call out other fans.
