  • And the Phillies countered the Mets by trading for an anti BLM reliever 
    Forger BLM, the real problem is his ERA is 5.74.

    I would think/hope they would have done that the minute he became a free agent. Yeah, they definitely had to have done that.

    If it's between Toronto and Phils I gotta think we sign him. I was starting to think maybe he signs the QT and takes his chances next year in a better market is why I was bringing it up.

    It's weird.  What's a bad deal for him? 4 years $80 million?  Tough to turn down $80 million and bet on yourself, especially being a year older and a catcher. Brutal decision as far as deciding whether to take $80 million plus goes...

    Right. And if that's the case how do the Phils fuck this up? I was thinking in a regular market he'd be 5 years 100-120. So I guess he'll still get some significant coin. He's one of the only pieces they have to sell to other players. 

    It just sucks, it was such a stupid trade at the time. You have no choice but to re-sign him, but they're gonna fuck that up, too.

    is there a universal philly feeling that one championship (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL) would make you more euphoric than the others? what’s the pecking order? for my discordant teams, it’s always been:

    MLB
    NFL
    NBA
    NHL

    I mean everyone says it's the Eagles but I don't - and didn't buy that. 2017/2018 was great and all, but the answer is - whatever one comes first and especially after 25 years, and it can't be hockey. That's why the Phillies one felt so much more surreal and awesome than the Eagles. It was great and all, don't get me wrong, but for many reasons the Phillies parade outdid the Eagles one. But I get it, football is more popular so it probably affected more people overall. Again, I'm not so sure.

    Now, when it comes to the actual game it's the Eagles Super Bowl. That is a top 10 game in history that was fucking ridiculous. Actually, maybe it's just slightly outside of the top 10 (I did this dumb exercise not long ago re: Super Bowls and I think I had it #7 or 8-ish).

    But for me I'm all about any Philadelphia sports festivities, and in this order. Baseball will always be #1 to me, so glad the Phillies won first in my lifetime:
    1. Phillies
    1a. Eagles
    3. Sixers











    4. Flyers

    pretty good recap.  mostly agree.  phils was amazing because of the 25 year wait and that team was so likeable.  Eagles was a combination of their 1st, it was unexpected once Wentz got hurt and they beat the Patriots in a once in a lifetime game.  Only difference is I think for me the Flyers would be far greater than the Sixers as far as parades.

    Union is soccer MSL - had best record in regular season this year then choked in playoffs.  Actually pretty cool stadium they have and a fun tailgate spot.  And I hate soccer.

    Wings is Lacrosse.  They were pretty big in the 90s here.  They went away and came back a few years ago.
