    Really tired of beating this dead horse. Whatever happens with Howard, just let it happen. The bitching and moaning is wasted energy. Go see him him one last time and give him some applause.

    no way I'm cheering a guy who has been overweight and has underperformed ever since the ink dried on his contract.

    It's not really him I have a problem with. He's sucked since 2009. The Phillies management is the problem...he should have been the first one to go when they finally started this rebuild
    I guess you don't have to cheer for him but silence would be better than anything else.
    impossible when I'm forced to see it almost daily. I love the phillies but they really do suck as an organization
    wait I thought you were an Orioles fan now? or did you choose another team that is winning these days? Cubs maybe?

    Have a good weekend guys. I'm heading to the Poconos to hang out with a bunch of Russians in banana hammocks.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Parking in South Philly!! Though my neighborhood isn't usually that bad.

    Golf tomorrow, hitting up all the outdoor beer gardens Saturday then a BBQ Sunday. Should be some good drunken fun. Birthday weekend too...
    Sweet. I'm playing Bella Vista tomorrow. Real nice course. Has a hole modeled after Saw Grass' 17. Can't wait to test out the new clubs...
    Oh that's kinda sweet. Would like to check that out. I am playing RON JAWORSKI's Riverwinds. Extremely convenient.

    The Bella Vista hole looks really cool. That said, Sawgrass may be more convenient for me to get to than that.
    Yeah...its out there, for sure.

    Didn't Jaws just buy Ramblewood or something too?
    Riverwinds is a fun course. Strange set up and no clubhouse, but had a good time. Challenging. Played so so. Played with 2 real solid players, both in the low 80's and held my own. Couldn't putt for shit. Turned into a drinking round about 6 holes in so not even sure what I ended up shooting. Hell of a start to the weekend though.

    If you haven't been to red rocks I highly recommend a trip out there. Had an absolute blast this weekend. MMJ reinforced that they are indeed the greatest live band on the planet (check out the setlists -- their cover of the Commodores 'Easy' was phenomenal). Now the countdown for OBH in Mexico begins....

    Also, looks like the real phillies have arrived -- for some strange reason they showed up two months late this season

    Not a big Baumann fan and I certainly disagree with a lot of what he states here, but this is a good read.

    Anybody know how long the CD bootlegs take to ship once ordered?

    I ordered Greenville on a Saturday and had it within like 3 to 4 days. I think I got it Wedensday. I wonder if the Philly shows will have a bigger demand and take a bit longer though.

    Pretty much what I've been saying for a while...

    "The Phillies are still assembling the next version of the team. Right now, they’ve got a good center fielder, a good third baseman, three or four good starting pitchers, and a couple of decent relievers. That’s a start, but there are still a lot of holes.

    Now consider this list of names: Tocci, Ortiz, Williams, Thompson, Alfaro, Knapp, Crawford, Kilome, Medina, Appel, Eshelman. They all stand to contribute to the big league club but have yet to play a regular-season game in the majors. Only a couple of years after the franchise hit rock bottom, the Phillies have a decent big league team right now, a top-five farm system, and the no. 1 pick in the draft next week. They also have an ownership group that’s been willing to spend almost all the way to the luxury tax in the past, along with only $24.5 million in payroll commitments past this year and just $2 million in commitments in 2018.

    That combination of young talent and financial flexibility brings up one last question.

    Will the Phillies be good soon?

    For the first time in five years, the answer is yes."

    Thanks - yeah, I ordered NOLA on Friday and am doing the same for the Philly shows this Friday.

    Yeah, good stuff, already read the pieces on Obama and Joe Buck. As a supporter of Joe Buck (that's right I said it)...it was alright - kinda sums up what I already thought of the guy.

    Word. Yeah, I was just saying the CDs. Not sure how I would even listen to one, haha. I guess put it right on the computer to ipod. Or the car, but never in that thing.

    Yeah, I'll put them up in Google Music and then they will disappear into my basement. Good thing I'm spending $36 for two shows instead of $20.

    Two separate things. That wasn't clear. JP referenced the Obama and Buck articles. Keepin in 1600 is with the Obama speech writer who is one of the hosts on that podcast. It's really good, but Buck was not on it.
