April 10, 200422 yr If you were the manager of the Phillies, would you want your team out on the field before Saturdays game to see the Marlins world series ring ceremony or would you want your team in the clubhouse not watching?
April 10, 200422 yr Why not? It sure would be a motivator to see what it looks like to get your ring.
April 10, 200422 yr it would be weird for any team, but imagine what the phillies would feel like i think i'd keep them in the clubhouse the expos were there for all the awards stuff, but i think this is a bigger deal
April 10, 200422 yr Let the players make their own decision. If they want to see it, so be it. If not, it really isn't a big deal either.
April 10, 200422 yr If I were Admin Bowa, I would resign before the game because I can't get the maximum potential out of my players (see 2003's Pat Burrell and so far 2004's Bobby Abreu) that Jack McKeon can
April 10, 200422 yr Let the players make their own decision. If they want to see it, so be it. If not, it really isn't a big deal either. I'd probably support this, although I agree with others when they say that watching the Marlins get their rings could fire them up. Either way, it's a public humiliation for the Phillies, I'm glad the ring ceremony coincided with this series. :hat
April 10, 200422 yr I would go out and give them a deserved round of applause, because they were the better team ... seriously :thumbup
April 10, 200422 yr being out there would be the classy thing to do so i guess bowa will keep his team in the clubhouse
April 10, 200422 yr i'd keep my guys in the clubhouse. let the marlins enjoy their ring ceremony and then focus on making their night a bad night.
April 10, 200422 yr Let them see it. You will never see a team in as much agony and have feelings of revenge towards a team as you will see the phillies if they see that ceremony.
April 10, 200422 yr After I shot myself, I'd want to see the ring ceremony- hopefully it would fire up my players to achieve what the Phillies couldn't! I agree. Admin Bowa is far from my favorite person. It won't matter how many great players and pitchers they have, he'll manage to cause trouble in the clubhouse and on the bench....you watch and see!
