As I'm sitting here watching the division leader Phillies blow another game, i'm reminded that we'll be one game out in a tight NL East Race. Dare I remind u all that this division has not been won yet and that we're the team with the most pennant race experience of the four. All four has weaknesses. The Mutts have Looper, Kaz Matsui and a questionable staff after Leiter and Glavine and Trachsel. The Braves don't have any pitching and a weakened lineup. The Phillies are sooooo inconsistent with their overrated staff and a lineup that revolves arouind the human strikeout. The Fish are stumbling along but have the best staff of the group, the second best closer, the best leadoff hitter, a 3-4 combo up there with any in the East and the best damn group of fans. Sure we're limping into the break but we have a GM willing to deal and a manager whose tactics, while unusual, motivate this team to do great things

 

I want everyone who posts in this group to say I BELIEVE!!!!

 

I BELIEVE IN THE FISH!!!!

DOWN WITH THE PHILLIES

I believe, but I'm scared. I'm scared that this season could end up being a failure and that the ownership cannot keep the players together.

don't get me wrong, but as fans, don't we all believe?..

I don't sense that here....I wanna know whose willing to go all out and accept this as a bump in the road and take the plunge to say I BELIEVE. Whose joining the positive train?

this is starting to sound corny. no more trains.

 

you're a pretty s***ty fan if you've given up hope, that's for sure.

 

i suffered through a decade worth of the terrible dallas cowboys

now they're back!

 

the lakers don't go in a slump. only when they try to make nick van exel their leader.

 

uconn revamps every 5 years..

 

i still cheer for everybody equally every year!

I join your train. I BELIEVE....I have seen bumps bigger than this and have seen them jump back.

First off, the Cowboys suck and will not win the division as long as Andy Reid is alive.

 

Secondly, you as a cowboy fan should know about bandwagon fans who jump off when the team isnt doin well....I just sense a lack of energy and a defeatist attitude.

Whose joining the positive train?

you mean the p-train?

 

or, perhaps more appropriately, the pee train?

yeah that's some people.

it's the same way with the lakers fans..

they won't be around next season!

 

the worst were the jordan days..

bulls fans don't exist anymore!

 

well. i haven't posted much recently..

just because i don't like the new board!

 

but i'll post more.. my energy is still up there.

i just don't want to make whining and complaining threads every day.

 

my solution is: all we have to do is play.

i don't really want to trade anyone or make acquisitions.

 

well, drop koch.

As Kevin Millar would say:

 

Cowboy Up!

Being the best is the loneliest place. I think things happen for a reason. We shall see why soon enough.

it'll come down to the divisional games.

 

it's all bout the $$. divisional games = ratings = $$.

Maybe, If We make moves then yes. If we stay how we are then no. We are playing horrible.

I don't believe. Sue me...

since you said "no negativity," i wont tell you how i really feel about this team.

 

i'll just point out that we're trailing the phillies, we're tied with the mets, and we're only 1 game ahead of the braves.

Im Desperate..

 

*looks down at Sig*

 

I left early tonight. I didn't believe in the game, but I believe in the season. Let's turn this s*** around. We still have an excellent rotation if we can just hang in contention.

desperate has nothing to do with stupid kevin millar quotes.

 

those stupid red sox have an even WORSE one this year

 

their little "yeeeeeah", in a squeaky voice.

(no, not little jon yeah). and their stupid pose.

 

god i hate living in new england.

Cowboy up didn't work for s*** for boston last year so why are we using it again?

im just usin it myself...

I LOVE my Fish!

 

I believe! Things happen for a reason

Me too. Something is in store for this team. who knows.

Here's a positive note:

Philly is losing 6-4 in the bottom of the 8th.
