Phillies Nation

cole is the man he speaks the truth u cant get much more of a choke artist then the METS . the mets will better next season though with the signings to improve there bullpen but the fightin phils will come out on top and repeat as in the words of chase “WORLD F*#KING CHAMPS

Mets fan seem to have no idea what a “rivalry” is . We have dominated this rivlarly the past 2 years and everytime a phillies fan or player says the word “mets” they assume they have an inferiortiy complex.

But have n o fear phils fans for it is them with the inferiority complex. Proof: just check metsblog.com and read the posts and comments. They always mention the phillies like its a phillies blog. But here, this is just one of 2 posts in the past montht to mention the mets, and one of them was the krod signing.

phils fans>mets fans

And that is the gospel, according to Cole. As if winning two playoff mvp awards weren’t enough, he absolutly solidified himself as one of the greatest Phils of all time.

Somewhere out there Jimmy Rollins is laughing while thinking “Why didn’t I say that first!?”

The sad thing about the Mets and their fans is that as long as we have that trophy they don’t have anything to stand on in trying to debate that.

can someone please tell me why the heck you phillies fans and players are so obsessed with the Mets. I hope Hammels gets a fast ball right in his ear hole next April. Just a classic Philly player, doesnt know when to shut his mouth. Granted, they kind of pulled that remark out of him. He was kind of just agreeing with him rather than coming up with that statement on his own. But jeez, have a little class man. No Mets player would ever say that about an opponent. Who cares if it is true. We did choke the last 2 years. How do you think you got your championship? But its just something you don’t say on the radio. Why are Phillies players so friggin arrogant? And Jim….I can not believe you have the audacity to say how you have dominated the rivalry the last 2 seasons. Give me a break dude. in ’07 you guys had the division handed to you on a silver platter. We gave it to you, you didn’t earn it. And last year, umm, dominated?? Take a look at our season record against each other…moron…we beat you 11 out of 18 games, dummy. But oh yeah, you dominated us, that’s right. And the only reason you guys came away with the division is because Wagner went down with 2 months to go. If we had our closer there is no way in hell you guys win the division. So once again you didn’t earn it, we gave it to you. One thing i will give you guys credit is how you stepped it up during the playoffs when it mattered the most. But please explain to me why so many Phillies players have to sit there and run their mouths about the Mets. I mean you guys couldn’t even win a championship with talking about the Mets. You guys are way to obsessed with the Mets. Its like you enjoy seeing the Mets fail more than you enjoying seeing your own team win. But you say its us that has the inferiority complex?? Yeah okay. All you guys do is talk about the Mets. Yes, i read this blog every day just to see what kind of shit you are talking about the Mets. I have never seen a baseball player talk as much shit as Victorino, Rollins, and Hammels. Especially Rollins. All he ever does is talk about the Mets. Right after you guys won, he’s sitting there say, “see, mets…this is what happens when you shut up and play”. What, is he like 12 effing years old. What an idiot. J Rollins is pu55y. Lil mama’s boy. I’m so sick of all you Phillies fans (and players) talkin shyt about the Mets. I cant wait until we dominate the division next year. I think the only way to shut you guys up is hurt you where it counts. In the standings. Then you guys will finally stop running your mouths because you all are front runners, just like your short stop said last Sept. LOL. How can you guys stand by your star player after he said that about you guys? But the sad thing is, he is right. He’s not stupid, he’s just ignorant. And he just doesn’t know when to shut his mouth.

Cole should keep his mouth shut. The mets will be one of the only teams that can sign him when he leaves. He will be commanding big dollars and there are only five teams that can spend that kind of money. Mets,Yankees, RedSox,Angels, Cubs. By the way normally a riveraly is more than two years. The mets just don;t think of the phillies as a riveraly because most years we aren’t good. Rivarly like yankees redsox or boston celtics -los angeles lakers. teams that win title beating each other not a bad team that sometimes get good for a couple of years and wants to sell itself as a consistant rival.

No rivalry? Conceding the division in December? My head hurts.

I love how the Mets fans and New York in general are getting up in arms when Hamels was asked a loaded question where WFAN flat out called the Mets “choke artists” and then proceeded to ask Hamels if they were “choke artists.”

Sure, it sounds like smack talk out of context. But then again, that’s how New York loves to create controversies as if the Phillies are constantly obsessed with the Mets. Hamels was asked the question. He answered.

Same deal with Jimmy Rollins’ “team to beat” comment. The question was asked to him almost verbatim “Do you think the Phillies are the team to beat?”

You New Yorkers have seriously got to get over yourselves.

Philly hater, maybe you should read the actual transcript before you go spewing your venom. You make it seem like Hamels said this on his own, saying it completely with his words. T

Question: Do you think the Mets are choke artists? A lot of Mets fans think they are. Do you look at it from afar and say, honestly, we know they are going to find a way to lose this thing.

Hamels: Last year and this year, I think we did believe that. Three years ago, we didn’t because they smoked everybody. I really thought was the year they were going to go to the World Series. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen. That’s kind of what we believe and I think we will always believe it until they prove us wrong.

Q: Wow. It’s worth repeating, you say the Mets are choke artists.

Hamels: Yeah, for the past two years they’ve been choke artists.

he interviewer was asking him about the Mets and he responded. What do you prefer, him responding about some other random team? He was asked a quesiton, he answered. Get over yourself, seriously. Go over to Metsblog and see how many posts are Phillies related or how often your fans can’t stop talking about the Phillies.

Griffin, don’t forget, winning the season series is a bigger accomplishment to the Mets fans as opposed to the division or the league championship or the World Series. Because winning 11 out of 18 is far more important right?

SJ MIKE…maybe you should read what i just wrote in my comment ya big dummy. I said they pulled it out of him. He was just basically answering a question and agreeing rather than coming up with that on his own. I was listening to WFAN when the interview was being given.

Sorry, I went crosseyed by your whiney ranting and extremely bad grammar.

However, that is the cardinal “come back” by any and all Mets fans justifying some sort of moral victory over the Phillies. That is usually followed with “we handed you the division” because apparently winning and losing is only determined by what a New York team does.

Well, if you have a problem with everything, just handle it the New York way. Throw lots of money at the it. Problem solved!

and i am a major contributer to metsblog every day, and very rarely are you guys the Phillies or their fans mentioned, so i dont know wtf you are talking about. Phillies fans talk more shyt than anyone. That is fact. You guys are obsessed with the Mets.

phillyhater…it’s okay, you’ll have a chance next year to knock the DEFENDING WORLD SERIES CHAMPION PHILLIES off the mountain….just like the rest of the league.

“It’ll get old when someone else is the Champions, until then we’re on top and don’t your forget it”

Ahhh, the singling out of the one extremely minor typo. Well, I guess one slip up is a hell worthy trespass as opposed to that extremely long paragraph of nonsense. You totally got me cornered, I don’t know what I’m ever going to do.

Philly hater, a child on the playground? is that what you are calling us? Well to philosophical for a moment… If we were per say “children on the playground,” You would be the child wearing suspenders, glasses, and a helmet, getting knocked around the school yard. Stop crying. It’s really pathetic, and interrupts what is generally sophisticated talk. So go hug your “I love Gary Carter’s Hair,” doll and remeber that your team hasn’t won it since Doc Gooden was smoking Crack in the streets of Yonkers. See you when the season starts, as we begin our TITLE DEFENSE, and you try to shake the name “CHOKE ARTISTS” from your misreable little back.

here’s what I know about the Mets new bullpen…they blew more Saves then our guy did, last year. It’s hard to top perfection.

Grumpy Miner, check a few posts above. I posted the transcript. It was a loaded question where WFAN cornered it out of Hamels. Philly sports talk is the same way as New York sports talk radio: relentless when interviewing someone. They’ll ask you the same question over and over again to create a sound byte to get a rise out of people the exact same way this has gotten to this elevated level.

I don’t get the whole, “If the Mets had a good bullpen, they would have won the division” argument. Yea, you’re probably right. And if the Nationals had a good starting rotation and a good offense and a good bullpen, they might have won the division. If the Phillies had traded for Johan Santana, instead of the Mets, they might have blown out the NL East competition, instead of only winning by 3 games.

Phillyhater is right about us not “dominating” the Mets last year. If I remember correctly, the first and only series we won against them last year came in our final visit to New York of the season, in September. But hey, we won some games when we had to, especially in the 4 game Brewer series.

PhillyHater,you need to calm down because it sounds like to me that you have a bad case of SHUT THE HELL UP!Now as I am a fellow Mets fan like yourself,i call out the Phillies any chance I get….but when you call out Tim,you are way out of line.I will never be a Phillies fan,but I do have respect for certain bloggers in here and I feel that I have earned their respect.Excuse me for being brutally honest esp to you,but I call it like it is.

Hater….the Phillies and their Phans deserve to knock the Mets,Yankees,Nationals,Royals,Padress and the sisters of St Agnes because they won the championship,they earned it.But remember in 09,all teams are 0-0 and as for the Phillies,the Hunters have become the Hunted.Now I may use that line repeatedly,yet it is the truth and the Phillies and their Phans know it and can’t shy away from it.Now as for Cole,After hearing the interview,I believe Francessa stirred the drink,also Cole can go on The FAN,WIP,The Team,WEEI,KNBR in San Fran,or sportsradio in Butte Montana whenever he wants and stations have that Wright to bring him on air,thats what good sportsradio stations do,get guests who have insight to their game and give 20 mins of good conversation..

Hey; I thought Met bashing was Jimmy’s job! Go Phillies 2009!

ESPN reports Phils and Ibanez agree to 3-year $30 mil deal.

I like it.

Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle. How ironic that that Cole, the guy that chokes when facing the Mets, would make this remark. Too funny!

What a typical reply from a Philadelphia fan like you Woodman. Resort to mudslinging and personal insult rather than reply with logic or intellect. See ya in ’09! Can’t wait!
