    i'm like going back to the red batting practice jersey. there was no need for those blue ones the last few years. good move.

    was that english at the beginning of your comment above? are you going to run out an buy one for yourself like a jersey? :D:D:D


    ha! yeesh. "i'm like going back to the red batting practic....yada" wtf was that? sounds like i suffered through a stroke typing that out. i was typing fast cuz my manager crept up behind me.

    i'm just not a fan of dark blue entering the phils color scheme. it always looks foreign to me.

    yeah, the phils jersey shouldn't have any blue in them. I don't get it either. The phils unis in general suck

    I don't understand the Fat Joe stuff. It's not like he's CC Sabathia or antonio alfonseca

    He just has that chubby face thing going on (like a big version of my 4-month old :lol: ). Also, last year he couldn't make it through 6 innings, which didn't help his rep around here. In general I agree with you that he's underrated and disrespected.

    yeah, last year he never got going after being out for the first month and a half. He came on and did pitch well in the last month and a half though.

    he throws 200 innings every year. it's not like he's consistently out of shape. people need to get off this guy's case. I'll always be partial to him for his 2008 performance (not to mention being their most consistent SP in 2009).

    and his homer - perhaps my all-time favorite in-person sports moment.

    Let's see:

    -Blanton World Series HR
    -Primeau 5OT goal in Pittsburgh (this is probably #1, actually)
    -Milt Thompson bases clearing triple in bottom 1st in Game 4 of '93 Series (even if we later blew a 14-9 lead)
    -Mariano Duncan's grand slam off Lee Smith
    -Pepe Sanchez free throws at 0:00 to beat Michigan St. in '98
    -Season tixx for Eagles 8-0 at home in 1992 (highlight was prob 31-7 win over Cowboys on MNF)

    that's a cool list. I would put primeau first too if I were you.

    My top 5 would be

    1 - 2008 WS clinching game
    2 - Halladay no hitter
    3 - Rollins walk off vs Broxton
    4 - Giroux's OT game winner vs Hawks in SCF
    5 (tie) - Blanton HR game (phils went up 3-1 in series was pretty much over) and Ruiz walk off dribbler up the third base line

    Weird that all of them happened in the last 3 years. We are spoiled right now as philly fans

    you don't? he's 6'3 and 245pds per the thing you just replied to. :lol: ...as of 2007, alfonseca was 250pds...but he was/is 6'5

    feel free to substitute a "ph" for the "f" if you'd like. it's just a name.

    hey any of you guys here have a Suburban with a license plate Ten-Deep? saw it in the Havertown wawa early sunday afternoon. thought about waiting to see who came out to get back into it but thought that might be a bit weird. just wondering if it was anyone here, or if it even had anything to do with PJ.

    Eagle and Darby - the one at Manoa is terrible.

    Never seen it. On a Suburban? Might just be another yuppy white couple that's burdened this Earth with 8 kids.

    .....so I'm doing the Broad Street Run.....this should be interesting...

    The damn thing closed before I got around to signing up. How did it go from 5,000 people in 2001 to 30,000 in 2011?

    I'll go to the Sly Fox goat races instead. :D

    I know. Crazy. It's funny, the day I was going to register it said there was about 5,000 spots left. An hour later, boom, sold out. So I emailed the chick in charge and she put me on a list. Pleasantly surprised to see she emailed me today.

    That goat race made that dude Art Mann's show on HD Net. I think I'm going to hit that up this year.
