    i've just resigned myself to having to stubhub it up all year.

    seriously anyone ever imagine the Phillies becoming this. It's feb. 16th and i'm totally psyched for baseball. i am a huge college hoops fan and march is always my favorite month but even that doesn't have me as excited as the phils. never imagined the phils would be the talk of the nation like this and selling out every game almost before opening day. wild. as a philly sports fan i almost feel like we are living in another dimension, this can't be real can it? greatest starting pitching staff of all time, phillies selling out every game. crazy.

    it is pretty fucking crazy. I could do without the enormous bandwagon though. I just don't want the phils to become the red sox (and the gay red sox nation, which is the worst nickname in history).

    This year should be exciting. I still don't think anything will top 2008 though. Actually, I know it won't. Nothing will ever top 2008

    april and october have always been my favorite sports months. baseball, football, and hockey all going strong in both of those months (nfl draft in april)

    agree on the bandwagon but the full stadium does allow us to get cliff lee etc. plus phils are pretty much are still a local team. i don't think there are a lot of people in the midwest saying they are phillies fans unless they are transplants.

    also agree 100% on 2008. that whole run was awesome. i waited 25 years for a title in this town and that was a great release. the matt stairs home run was one of the greatest moments as a fan and the parade was one of the greatest days of my life. chills thinking about it. another will be sweet but will not quite approach 2008.

    I'm just worried about a let down from all the hype. These guys look great on paper, but they still have to play the games. Last year this team was 2 games over .500 in July. They turned it on, but could they do it again?

    At this point I'm more excited about the Flyers than anything else, although it's more fun to go to Phils games - outdoors, nice weather, overall a nicer stadium experience.

    If anyone starts a new Phils thread I'm going to seriously punch them in the vagina. Keep this shit going.

    Agreed. Halladay is fucking perfection! You know you will get it out of him. The rest of those guys can be very good, but it's baseball so one of them has to fall apart in June. :mrgreen:

    right.

    And I request to see this FB back and forth - "Hey, guy, do me a favor and come visit the board you don't go to anymore. We need a change in the thread title." Welp, at least we know he'll have to visit at least once a year.

    Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but did anyone catch Dallas Green talking to the media regarding his late grand daughter? Sad stuff...
