Phillies Nation

well, last year was fun!

Let’s go Brewers (in the playoffs…vs. the Muts)!

It’s funny how Mets fans come out of the woodworks every time they get into first place. F-ing cockroaches! They are just like Cowboy fans. Remember when the Mets got into first place a few weeks ago? How that work out for them? Don’t jump ship yet Phils fans! Hang in there…

Dennis.. they are scumbags.. and I actually asked a couple of them to post on here regularly and we could keep intelligent conversations going about what each team needs to do etc.. but they all disappear and then come back.. and then the Muts will fall out of 1st again.. and their fans will go away.. its a never-ending cycle.

If we don’t make the playoffs, I actually want to see the Marlins get in, because it amazes me that they are still hangin around

First things first, I’m a huge Mets fan. Please, do not think the d-bags like “Sasser” are like all Mets fans. For the most part, we are a very intelligent bunch, who will always welcome a heated and smart discussion, just like most Phils fans. As for my opinion, I’d bet a lot of money that the Mets and Phils will flip flop at least 5 more times before the end of the season. Both teams are just way too inconsistent right now. Every Mets fan is saying a novena when the bullpen comes in right now. And the Phils hit a little slump at a bad time. And I think the Fish are pretty much done, especially if they lose to the Cubbies this weekend. So don’t let a stupid, juvenile, rogue Mets fan ruin what has been a decent season so far.

Tim, I’m going to bed. I want to apologize to you, Brian, Rob, and the rest of Philliesnation for making a fool of myself. I do not suggest doing it to anyone, I was just trying to lighten the mood because I was in a giddy mood. I would really appreciate it if noone on this site holds it against me, and I’d appreciate it if you took down my few posts. I’d also like to thank truth hurts for making me realize how dumb I was for posting on here. I also want to let everyone know that I do not abuse drugs besides beer and pot, and I don’t even “abuse” them. I was just doing something as a bon voyage to summer. Once again I give my sincere apologies.

Phil… sleep it off brotha.. and then get like a cheesesteak or some kinda heavy food in your system.

Luckily I’m an insomniac so lack of sleep shouldn’t bother me anyway.

yeah man you definitely need to get some sleep or you wont be making it to work. ive notced that people are usually out of commission for a day afterwards anyway.

Geoff, last time I did it was New Years eve a couple of years ago. I came home, slept for a few hours, then went and partied on 2 street all day. It was actually really epic.

Yes I can think of worst fans … hmm well Phillies fans lol they are front running bastards …. Eagle fans boo McNabb when he is drafted the guy is a one one team with only one option westbrook gives his heart and soul to the eagles but yet he is booed and hated in Philly. But yea mets fans are worse you are right.

i gained a new level of perspective after reading chapter 4 of the watchmen. the one that focuses on the dr manhattans ability to shift his primary consciousness to any point in time of his life and experience things over again. that was quite interesting. highly esoteric

Yeah, I’ve been esoteric all night Geoff.

As we all know, Phillies management will be sending out their annual interest free loan request (aka. post season ticket invoice to season ticket holders, like me). Hopefully this year I don’t add another set of World Series tickets to my wall (along with the 2007, 2006, and 2005 tickets that already adorn this memorial to “what could have been”). I say we start a boycott for people to not purchase the post-season package (unless, for some act of Jeebus, they are up by 5-10 games by that point early next month).

and no one cares about the phillies outside of your town. We have more mets fans at mets phillies games in philly then you …. we have more mets fans in florida, washington, calie but yea no one cares if we win

To get through college (everyday life at a college paper, work, girlfriends, classes) I drank a lot of 40s.

Don M, & Geoff

I don’t mean to attack you guys personally, but I will respond critically to your remoreful remarks against Mets fans.

I know several Mets fans come in here and basically mock your team when they lose; they are cowards. Where were they when our team lost to the miserable Pirates in embarrassing fashion, at home nonetheless? The point is, if you decide to attack a Mets fan, make it a singular attack. Likely, these spiteful Mets fans should only comment if they have something interesting and thought-provoking to contribute. I comment on this blog-site because it is simple and convenient, unlike the non-user friendly format of Metsblog.com.

I wonder why your team is experiencing an offensive slump. I always purchase MLB Extra Innings so that I could watch my fellow NL East team plays, especially if my Mets plays a 7PM ET game and another NL East team plays a 10PM ET, West Coast game.; or vice versa. Mr. Vin Scully, broadcaster for the Los Angeles Dodgers, was ripping your team throughout your four game series in L.A. How do guys/women feel about his demeaning attitude towards your team?

I still say that your team should have invested in Rowand, who’s hitting .286, 11 dingers and 62 RBI. Wouldn’t you agree?

P.S. I have tickets to the same day you guys have your “Take Over Shea Day” outing. I’ll see you there! Let’s keep it civil.

David

You ask for intelligent conversation yet you Sy-Phillies fans bring nothing to the table other than, “No one cares about the Mets outside of New York”. How about a little respect? I know the season isn’t done yet.. 41 games left! Your offense will wake up, probably with a vengence! The line up is too stacked with talent to stay in a slump for long. But when your MVP SS calls you fans “front-runners”, time to readjust your attitude. You are (for the time being) only one game out of first and some of you are ready to tune out and start praying for the NFL season to start. Where’s the love?
What you need is consistant offense, just like every other team in the NL. And a bullpen that won’t cough up the lead, a’la the Mets bullpen of late. This will be an amazing finish from here on out.

Let’s go Mets!

vin scully is trash.

the phillies are slumping because, to an extent, theyre overrated, but theyre not focused on playing simple baseball at all. the longball offense has devolved into an anemic offense. theyve relief on the honerun so much that they cant hit anywhere and are worse at home. well there are a few sensible met fans, i suppose.

if i had children, i wouldnt take them to shea stadium though ill tell you that much.

Considering Victorino and Rowand have very similar offensive numbers this year, and I think that VIctorino is as good, or better than Rowand defensively.. I think it was a very smart move not be be paying Rowand close to $10 M per season.. Victorino makes like $9,120,000 less than Rowand this year..

IF.. they spend that free money on a pitcher in the offseason, Its a great move to let Rowand go.. if they don’t get a pitcher, then it goes back to them being cheap

Agreed Don M. Unfourtantely there were no good pitchers on the market last year really. A lot of pitchers don’t want to pitch here because of the fans and ballpark. I read that a couple of years ago. It is probably just a cop out excuse, although it makes sense. Maybe the front office was looking to 09 with this team?

Don M, the Eagles/Cowboys rivalry is actually deep routed into something political. I forget what off the top of my heads. Let me look it up and get back to you.

its alright Phil.. i don’t especially care about it that much.. now that the T.O. thing is the main story there its pretty crappy to watch anyway cause thats all the announcers talk about

Two pathetic hits is all they could muster. They made Kuroda look like the second coming of Walter Johnson. Go back and look at the schedule, the offensive statistics, and the W-L record since Friday, June 13. They scored 20 runs in St. Louis that night. (The second time in less than 3 weeks they scored 20.) Conlin was writing that this was the greatest offense in team history. They have not been the same team since that 20-run outburst. They ended up losing that series, and have been in a downward spiral since. Had it not been for road sweeps against the pathetic Braves and Nationals, in July, they would be in an even worse predicament than they’re in now. To sum things up, the bullpen is leaking oil, two of the starters are inconsistent, and the offense can’t do jack! October baseball seems more-and-more out of reach with each passing day.

True Alex. I wonder if the true slump came after that Red Sox game, and the rest of the games against the AL just put the nail in the coffin?

If it happened in the 70s it may have been, but I think it had something to do with a specific player.
