    Is anyone else concerned about all of these 'phils can break the mariners record for wins' stories? I know this is a veteran team, but EVERYONE is on this team's nuts...telling them how great they're going to be this year.

    There should be three goals...

    1 - Win NL East
    2 - Clinch home field in playoffs (though this isn't a necessity)
    3 - Win World Series


    Kinda like the people saying the Flyers will win the Cup in January ?

    I wonder when the next time the A's would play here in Philly for interleague. I'd love to see a throwback series, and have the Athletics wear some kind of old uni with 'Phila." or 'Philadelphia' on the front. That always puzzled me, if the A's ever play in a throwback game - even in Oakland - with anything pre-50's, do they acknowledge the Philly aspect of it? I think anything Philly-era A's should stay in Philly....Ah, anyway, it'd be cool.....carry on....

    Ohhhh, yeah. Well, would ya look at that. I could've sworn I didn't see it on the schedule. Makes sense since they last played them in '08 in Oakland.

    Word. I have the Sunday game of this series as well. Hopefully they do something to the ilk of what I was talking about.

    it's a travesty that the phils road jerseys don't have some form of philadelphia on the front.

    Looks like someone is putting their tale between their legs

    CLEARWATER, Fla. — As Grapefruit League games are just days away from beginning, former Phillie Chad Durbin is still without a job. While the Phillies pulled their offer of a major-league deal to Durbin weeks ago, the door is still not closed on a possible return for Durbin, a baseball source said Tuesday.

    His agent, Dan Horwits, remains engaged with two teams on a possible major-league deal but no offers have been made, the source said. If nothing moves on that front, Durbin could come to Phillies camp on a minor-league contract.

    The source said Durbin hopes to have his destination picked in the next 48 hours because most camps have been open for nearly two weeks now.

    If Durbin's hand is forced because there are no major-league offers on the table, the source said his preference would be to come to the Phillies and compete for a job as a non-roster player.

    Eh. Never really minded it because it was never like that. I'd like to see a block letter throwback road though - kind like Cleveland's with "PHILA" on the front.

    They've historically never really had "Philadelphia" on the road jerseys. It's kind of long and awkward, and "Phillies" is a pretty good indicator of what city the team is from.

    I'm kind of obsessed with the A's - last year I celebrated the 100th anniversary of the 1910 World Champs. Good news this year - I can do it again! (1910, 11 & 13 champs) :ugeek:

    My Phila. A's jersey is the best looking jersey I've ever had. It's fun when somebody recognizes it. The hat sometimes gets confused with the Braves for some reason. Also, some 3-year old kid kept telling me last year to take off my "Astroids" had and his mom wouldn't tell him to leave me alone. I just gave up eventually. :lol:

    Maybe someday the Phils will match the Phila A's 5 championships... (like in 2100?) :roll:

    my friend's dad is a HUGE a's fan. he goes way back and always talks about how they were the true baseball team from philadelphia and it should have been the phillies that left town. that's as old school (and stuborn) as you get :lol: ....my buddy and him are going to all 3 inter league games this year.

    I think me and JP are the only ones that care about this stuff, but I'm posting it anyway. Baseball America's top 100 prospect list came out today. I love this shit...the phils are in good shape with 4 of the top 100. The only teams with more were KC (9, which is fucking unheard of...their minor league system is completely stacked), Tampa (7), ATL/NYY (6). Good stuff.

    Domonic Brown #4, ETA 2011
    Jonathan Singleton #39, ETA 2013
    Brody Colvin #56, ETA 2013 (My personal favorite)
    Jarred Cosart #70, ETA 2013

    Trevor May made Keith Law's top 100, but not BA's. Drabek is #29 , Travis D'Arnaud (halladay trade) is #36, Jonathan Villar (Oswalt trade) is #94.

    Nice. Now for Brown to take that projection and make it a reality.

    Nice. I'll be there for a long weekend leading into the yanks on 3/20 and gay sox on 3/21.

    Just make sure you stash some of your lootcakes for the PJ thing in August.

    shit, just realized I need to send you that stuff. Forgot all about it...I'll get on that

    Believe me - duly noted. There's a good chunk of bones being set aside for when that shit is announced. And I have a Vegas bachelor party in May. Gonna be quite the summer....

    Yeah, it's no rush on the dvd's. Whenever it works for you - it's not going anywhere on me.
