  1. Phils *always* have problems with no-name pitchers.
  2. Don't worry Fins Phans - scoring ten runs in a game is always the death knell for the Fightins the next game.
  3. Wait...Prior is the best pitchers in the majors today? Gimme a break. He is a superb pitcher who has a strong chance to be a front of the rotation starter for the Cubs for years to come, provided he stays injury free. But in terms of this season, I wouldn't put him ahead of five or six ML pitchers. Players I would take over Prior right now: Schilling, Pedro, Javier Vasquez, Halladay, Zito, Hudson, and Mulder. Add age as a factor and Prior moves pretty close to the top. I still need to see more performance out of him; I certainly would like to see far more from him before I would make the blanket statements and predictions about him that are being made here.
  4. Ibleed, stop trolling your lame Philly propaganda over here. It isnt working. Your payroll is ridiculously higher than ours and are getting the same results we are. And you think Stinnet is going to help you out? No, us losing Lowell has a bigger impact on your success than anything that team of yours can do. Boy, it didn't take long for that excuse to be wheeled out.
  5. The comments about Bowa being a moron and the bullpen being overworked are spot on. The team is in utter freefall. The saving grace is that, somehow, they still are tied for the wild card lead. Though only for a few hours. Bowa is absolutely determined to destroy the bullpen and grossly overmanage the entire pitching staff. I've never see Phils fans so pissed. The Expos are playing out of their heads and, following what has happened to the other WC competitors, will probably hit a rough patch once they get back on the road. As an aside, the Expos fans have been nothing short of sensational during the Phils series. The strong attendance should put Bud Selig's panties in a twist more that they are currently.
  6. The only thing about David Bell that the Phils are missing is that at least it gave Burrell comfort to know that there someone on the team who actually sucks this year more than he does.
  7. We suck. Can someone send me a Marlins jersey, size XL? I can't stomach to wear my Phils one anymore. I'm for the Fish all the way.
  8. I think the Phils and the Fish will hold off the other teams and make the WC a two-team race. At least I'm hopeful of it. I think this thing is going to be resolved during all those upcoming head-to-head matchups... I'm trying not to get too high or too low.
  9. By the way, the Phils have far more to be ashamed of that the Fish. The Brewers totally suck. At least the Rockies are tough at home but the Brewers? Uggh. I'd put a small mental star at the Marlins side of the abacus tonight...
  10. I think you dudes are right. It IS over. Completely. Utterly. Sadly. Now that the Phils are absolutely on fire, the wild card race is over. Kaput. Call the engraver. Only that the Fightins are blowing chunks these days, too. Huge, massive ones. While I think either the Phils or the Marlins will win the wild card, if I was Atlanta or SF, I'd quietly be starting to look for some hotel rooms in Seattle or NYC about now.
  11. Two teams that don't deserve the wild card: the Marlins and the Phils. Go D'Backs!
  12. Clemens can lick me. I'd love to see him pitch for Team US and get lit up, the prick.
  13. Fightin' Phils

    Which?

    Abreu doesn't even make the list? He plays in your own division for crying out loud.
  14. but i know we got one of the best if not the best rotation in the majors! A good rotation, but certainly not the best in the majors. I'd take Oakland, the Yankees, the Cubs, Arizona, and the probably the Dodgers before the Marlins. I'd even be tempted to take the Phillies but the problem with the fifth starter and closer would make me lean toward the Fish.
  15. Let me get this straight. Randy Wolf is a pitcher for the Phils. His brother is a minor-league ump, trying to get to the Show full time. Jim Wolf: "Here's the best way to make my career really work for me. Violate the cardinal rule of umpiring (ie: bias) to screw the Marlins and boost the Phils." "My career is totally worth helping my bro's team win the freakin' NL Wild Card, especially since it seems that they can't do it by themselves, despite the fact that they lead by half a game. Heck, maybe Randy will pay me back with some free playoff tickets and give me his Wild Card winners share to help me out -- since I've been fired from my job." "I'll get that Mike Redman and rest of those meddlin' Marlins if it's the last thing I do!" Do *some* (read: not all) of you people know how ridiculous you sound?
  16. This makes Redman look like a total crybaby and whiner. What a joke. An utter and complete joke.
  17. The Phils...like there is any doubt. But it'll come down to the last day. You heard it here first. Philly just has an easier schedule and now they booted Duckworth from the top five, it'll be a much smoother ride. Chase Utley is the real deal.
  18. People make way too much out of attendance. It is a total fraud that the interest and passion of fans can be judged by attendance. There are so many variables with respect to how and why people go to games. Sorry to go OT, but this rankles me.
  19. Placido Polanco is having a great season both at the dish and wit' the leather. He's no Vidro or Boone but he's pretty damn good.
  20. What happened? I just placed my order for a Marlins fitted cap, size 6 3/4, to be delivered in time to celebrate the ascension and coronation of the new Wild Card leader. Well, there's always tomorrow. All joking aside, do you Marlins fans like this team a little more than the '97 team? They seem scrappier, more down to earth and appear to try harder and have more fun. The guys are a bit more homegrown and the team doesn't have the sheen of the best-team-money-can-buy '97 champs.
  21. My goodness. Remember, you still have a game or two to play before you start sending your measurements to the engraver. Plus, as much as I'd love for the Phils to win the wildcard, it is only a second place prize. Like in Sixteen Candles, it is like being King of the Dorks. I guess that's kinda cool. King of the non-division winners! Yeah! If the Phils (or the Marlins) were actually men, they'd rise up and topple the Braves. Instead we shuffle around, phighting for the crumbs. Then again, Anaheim was the King of the Dorks, too, and they won the Big Kahuna so anything's possible. Lots of season left, tho, lots of season. Good luck tonight. Sportspages typesetters nationwide are on alert.
  22. Lee needs a break. He has only 11 ribbies this month. He's my roto secret weapon. For my roto sake I hope he is more Lee Majors than Travis Lee.
  23. Thanks for the kind words, guys and gals. I'll do my utmost to be polite, respect the board, and squeeze into the Phillie Phanatic costume in such a manner that my underpants don't get caught in the zipper.
  24. Go back to your Phillie board A$$hole... I don't want your smelly a** here and no one else does so leave you piece a ****! WTF are you even doing here! Nice. I think you must live on my street. Can I borrow your car? Loosen up, Frances. Feel free to ask your administrator to ban me. I don't think I pose that much of at threat, do you? Cheers. Eagles 3:16
