    yep. the place that ran out of beer last time EV was in town. not good times

    Really? I just remembered it was packed. I just know we left early enough to smoke in the alley way and see Liam Finn play. Dude challenged Ed for who was actually the headliner. Good stuff. Probably not going to catch Hansard open up this time around.


    not a glen hansard fan?

    once was a great movie a few years back. i dig his music

    I like his music, I'm a fan, but just don't know if I'm going to take away from an extra hour of drinking for it.

    Still debating going down today just for the hell of it since I can't get rid of these tix.

    I was thinking about this last night. Why do the phils get those two exhibition games in philly every year? As season ticket holders we get screwed by having to take those games. I hope that those games were an agreement with the new stadium (that's when they started), and they eventually go away.

    Actually, I'm pissed at myself for this year though. Seems like every year my buddy tells me how you can trade in one game a year for different tickets, and every year I forget until he reminds me and I feel like an asshole. You need to do it like 48 hours in advance. So here I sit, with a thumb up my ass.

    shit, I didn't know that. that's cool.

    did you see if blake can help you out? probably tough since it's the preseason game.

    Yeah, I really should've been more assertive in taking care of this, but running around the past couple days it hasn't been high priority. I was thinking about emailing him around 12:30, but figured it's too close to game time to think it could be changed. Ah well.

    What I'm wondering though is they DFA'd Rizzotti to open up a spot on the 40 man. I'm assuming this was for Castillo, or maybe they're making a deal? Or possibly Stutes being added?

    I'm guessing martinez wasn't on the 40 man. I still think the 40 man roster thing is confusing as hell.

    glad to hear castillo got cut. There was no point in having him and valdez on the same roster. I think a valdez/young platoon is the best bet

    glad to hear it as well. never thought castillo was a fit. plus the way Valdez throws the ball its 50/50 he kills someone on a double play this year if he plays a lot at 2nd :D. and would like to see Stutes on the roster. let's see what we got with him. not a fan of Herndon.

    and Fixer didn't get a chance to say it before but congrats on your news man, good luck.

    I traded in that stupid game one year and got to see the Phils drop 20 on the Rox on Memorial Day instead. ;)

    Nah, Martinez was already on there. I gotta think it's to put Stute on the 40 or make a trade. We will see....

    Yeah, I want Young getting in there as well. Valdez is better used off the bench. Then again, so is Young. Stupid Utley....

    EDIT: Hmm, looks like Young was the one not on the 40 man.

    if the phils don't make the ws w/ that staff...it will be an epic disgrace

    funny if you're a mets fan....you have zero zero chance of winning the division...playing for the wild card from game 1


    the giants have to beat in the playoffs but if the phils don't do it...i would be shocked
    i post on the board of a band that doesn't exsist anymore .......i need my head examined.......

    Why do the Giants have to beat the Phils? Doesn't, logistically, that go against your first statement? I'm confused. :?

    Also, I don't think it would be a disgrace. I have to stop thinking that way because it's A) a looooong long long season and B) anything can happen in the playoffs(phils bats going silent last postseason)

    PPS - I don't even think the Gigantes make the playoffs.

    PPPS - speaking of the Giants, Ishikawa was just DFA'd. I wouldn't mind him as a bench player if the outfield/bench needs a boost(he plays 1st, LF/RF right?)

    i meant to say the giants still have to be beat by any NL TEAM

    U know what i mean..the phils should get to the ws w/ out a doubt...disgrace is wrong word

    they're the favorites in the NL, but if utley's out for the year all bets are off

    atlanta is gonna be good. I could see the phils winning 90 games and missing the playoffs. I'm not predicting that, but I wouldn't be shocked if it happens

    If Utley ends up diagnosed to miss the whole season, then I think that Mike Young trade totally happens. Gonna be Young and relief help come the trade deadline.
