Dude you were right next to me, as you can see in my location. That was really a miserable night. My wife stayed home with the little guy, so nobody was there to rationally say, "why don't we leave this game early?" Damn crazy comebacks make you stay to the end of the shittiest games.

R6 launched a foul ball over the 700 level, then sucked ass the rest of the game. I was calling the Mets pitcher Cy Young. Don't you hate when the other team's pitcher gets two hits in an inning? But at least the t-shirt was sweet.

I hope you guys that were there last night were smart enough to tell the fans booing hamels to fuck themselves. that was a pathetic display.

I wouldn't sign here if I was him. He gets absolutely no respect. It's sad

He wasn't getting booed that bad. Besides, I think he's enough of a pro by now to not let things like that bother him. And though he was World Series MVP, it's not he's above being booed by the home crowd like say Derek Jeter is.

the greatest 3rd baseman of all time got booed here for 2 decades. who cares?

rightly or wrongly that shit comes with the territory in philly. cole knows that.

further proof that. eh, never mind, we've been through this.

this town loved chris coste (who couldn't play a lick) and hates cole hamels (who won them a title). I don't get it. Absurd

Well at least that wasn't the worst game i've been too. :roll:

Definitely frustrating especially that 3rd inning. Did have our opportunities after though. Had decent seats (section 107) and got a t-shirt

I have to figure out what my record is seeing them at Citizens Bank Park (I know it ain't good). When I would see them at the Vet they usually won. I think they were like 25-14 or something like that when I saw them there. I used to keep track of that stuff.

Oh yeah the HD scoreboard is pretty sweet.

I think bastardo is garbage. He throws hard for a lefty, but his secondary pitches suck ass

Nah, dude, he's got potential, just need to keep it in the strike zone and not be wild. As he's doing so far tonight. If he can control that fastball, then he'll be able to work in his slider to lefties and change to righties. I'm just afraid he'll become injury prone.

Is there some sort of clause in his contract that says Shane HAS to swing at the first pitch? He is frustrating.

He's just taking over for Rollins and what he usually does in the leadoff spot.
