    well that's b/c the Phillies are next to the Cubs and Brewers...btw I finally did some research on who I should have rooted for in baseball as a kid and the Mets/Yanks were 300+ miles away, the Blue Jays 220 miles away, and the Expos were 180 miles away. However this was before the advent of baseball on television every night so I would have had to learned French Canadian over the radio to follow them. Also this makes the Montreal Allouettes my non-fraudulent football team, Canadians for hockey, while basketball should be the Knicks.

    you should have been an expos fan and you should be a current nationals fan. you would have all kinds of credibility if that were the case. they even followed you down to your next of the woods (dc/bmore)
    :lol:


    i saw some dude wearing an expos jersey earlier this year when the phils played the nats. looked cool as shit. those early 90's expos teams were pretty damn good too. if it weren't for the strike...
    yeah but according to you i'm off the hook because the expos moved...haha. I grew up in watertown, ny before the raptors existed so my team should have been the Knicks.

    RW, my family had a cottage at blind bay, 20 minutes east of Alexandria bay. Drove by Watertown almost every weekend.

    ha that's crazy. Lived there until I was 12, moved to Binghamton, went to undergrad at Ithaca College so if you draw a line down the middle of that state I pretty much lived along it. When did you stop going up?

    Ha, I'm from Binghamton. Lived there pretty much my whole life until I went to school in Albany. My mom was a professor at Binghamton university. Fucking crazy, where did you go to school?

    And stopped going up regularly not too long ago. Parents sold it around 2004 or 05 probably. Loved it up there. Went back on vacation for a week a couple years back. I would love to buy a place up there again someday.

    cliffy sorry i passed out last night during our convo...you are my 2nd sister's age. she wasn't the most outgoing of us, but she teaches spanish and french at Greene now. pitched against st. rose for my last college start at Ithaca for the JV squad. Should have won but the CF dropped an easy fly. Ahhh well wasn't going anywhere anyhow, maybe to varsity, but not many make it past that. whatcha doing now?

    a crime will be committed today. and i am sorry to say that despite my best efforts, your juggler will be an unwilling participant in it.

    sister in law hooks us up with awesome phils tickets throughout the year. hall of fame club. we can get them for face value off someone she works with.

    so today we have tickets. going down with the wife, sister in law and her fiance.....a few weeks ago it was announced that her cousin was having a graduation party today. we had just spent a week in the outer banks with this family so when i heard it was the same day as this phils game, i wasn't terribly upset we would miss it......then it was sprung upon me that my wife and her sister plan on staying at the game for just a couple hours and then leaving early for this party. :o :shock: seriously. this flies directly in the face of everything i stand for as an upstanding non fraudulent sports fan. goes right against the sports fans code of ethics.

    plus--we had just seen these people a month ago. sadly, there's nothing i can do. been fighting this as best as i could without causing a huge thing...but the 3 of them are for leaving the game early. probably 6th inning i'm guessing.

    my only saving grace is that i made a deal that if kyle kendrick has a no hitter going, we can stay........i'm screwed. :x :lol: :thumbdown:


    have mercy on me. please.

    Yeah, man. That blows. I had to leave a Yankees game early this year, a good one at that. 8 pm sunday game against the Rangers, tie game too. Had to leave to catch the last Amtrak back to Philly. Was not happy about it. A graduation party though, that's rough.

    just say you were a cubs fan for the day. i was at a wrigly on a perfect night for baseball a few years back (i think it was a cubs playoff year) . stands were packed to start the 2nd inning. by the time the 9th rolled around it was down to 60% adn by the time the 14th rolled around it was down to 20%.

    every game is like that.
    81 is now off the air

    wasn't as bad as expected. fortunately/unfortunately, due to events beyond my control, we were a bit late getting there which convinced the girls that we should stay till the end. missed the first couple innings, which sucked. but got to see the rest of the game.

    all's well that end's well fuckers! :mrgreen:

    couple violations on my brothers to report:

    the other day i was hanging out with one of them, grilling some burgers down the shore and tossing back some frosty beverages. not a damn thing wrong with that....then i did a double take to notice the shirt he was wearing: a blue shirt with "MICHIGAN" printed in yellow across the chest. we have no connection to michigan at all. so i go "mike, why are you wearing a michigan shirt?" mike's reply: "oh. yeah i know...i just, i just like the shirt. i understand." :lol: he knowingly committed a fraudulent act.


    then i had the following encounter with the other brother on facebook recently:

    brother's post--Fabregas!!!! Barca is gonna be unstoppable once again this season

    juggler- what? were you saying something? look, i don't speak spanish.

    brother- we just got one of the best midfielders in soccer

    juggler- who is we?

    brother- barcelona

    juggler- that is a gross misuse of the word "we" jeff

    :lol:

    the whole "we" thing i don't mind too much if it's one of your teams. your home town team who you support with your money every season and have lived and died with your whole life. i realize others have issues with that and i get that. but using "we" to talk about some soccer team halfway across the world is ubber fraudulent to me.

    did you now? :lol:

    sometimes they forgot to show up. this could happen at the start of the game and last the first half or the whole game... or it could happen after the half time break... plus they have the habit of waiting for the offense to come to them instead of moving forward and meeting the guy carrying the ball. i dont know why the forwards coach hasnt been on their back about it. the rabbitohs forward pack is formidable and its always a good idea to use the offenses momentum against them. hit 'em hard and hit 'em low. and drive them back.. preferable on their arses.
