Chipper Jones is one of the best switch hitters to ever play the game. He knows what he’s talking about and I don;t care what team you root for you would love to see Chipper playing for that team. And you guys say Chipper is whining…look at what every single one of you guys are doing..

I was out of pocket this weekend. I cannot believe the replies to this blog… I think that people need to take a step back and look at this for what it’s worth. Put your pride and dignity aside and look at Larry for what he really is. He’s a great player and a good competitor (the fact that he’s whining about a little trash talking is weak) with a huge “chip” on his shoulders. The writing has been etched into the wall; Chipper is on the wrong side of a franchise rebuilding. When that team was winning it was always about pitching. Now that the team is losing, it’s Chipper’s team. I think that he resents the current state of the NLE and his franchise for putting him in this situation. A little bit of media induced trash talking makes it interesting. When the Braves were winning pennants, there wasn’t much to be said because they were head and shoulders above everyone else… it’s tough to trash talk when you’re thrown into a pistol fight carrying a knife. The Braves were that good but they lacked what this current Phils team brings to the table when it matters… the thing that beats inside your chest and compels you to stand up for your team even when standing up for your team makes you sound arrogant.

No need for apologies…….we are true fans of baseball,thats the one reason I come in here compared to the Mets blog.The vast majority of the fans in here speak a good game while the Mets blog features such famous lines as “Insert Team Here”sucks and “Mets Rule”.I am a Mets fan and yet when they do good,they get cudos…after they showed no guts TWICE to the Marlins,I gave them the heat they deserved.I even called Aug.22 2008 the turning point when the Mets could have won 7-5 instead our poison pen tripped over their own 2 feet and the Phils won in 13 innings 8-7.That sole game cost the Mets at the very least a play in game vs the Brewers for the Wild Card.That night I tipped my cap to the Phils and Tim acknowledged it and appreciated that.Also if you are a constant blogger you KNOW how much I killed that inept poison pen we had and since then it was Upgraded and the waste is gone (Thank Goodness)

first off grumpy miner, i was unaware it was sarcasm. so i will hold back a little on being defensive. so i guess that’s my apology to you. secondly, i am a die-hard baseball fan first, and a die-hard philly fan second. i live in cental NJ and the only games i get are mets and yankees. i watch my phils on the computer with the mets on TV on most weeknights. My family and neighbors are met fans. i have to be tolerante of the mets, hell, i even have a mets #31 t-shirt (mike piazza is on the back, not cliff floyd).

i appreciate your honesty, and will be more respectful to your comments from here on in. i’ve been hitting some blogs this winter, and i usually come across assholes so it’s pretty cut-throat. i apologize for being one of the assholes.

First off andrew…You must be thrilled and honored about being in division 2 and feel a great sense of accomplishment really,I’m proud of you.I may not be sure about your education,but I am not sure you understand the word “Sarcasm”.Yup you got me,I lived a normal childhood and made little leagues.Felt great to grow up nornal like every kid and grow up to be a man with a son in the little leagues.Did the Mets spit the bit Yes they did,however I look at the reality of that and am gracious in defeat and can accept the Phillies winning,I have congratulated them many of times as well as the people who welcomed me,a METS
fan into this board incliding Tim and the countless other Phils fans.Now I can and have taken the heat and still come back for more.Theres such thing as being gracious in winning,but you are nothing more than a sore winner.Learn to accept fans of other teams have feelings too and NO don’t give me that carp that this isn’t a sunday school and/or if you don’t like whats said,leave.I’ve heard it in here b4 and you can’t get dismiss me that easily. Oh and once again congrats on The on Div2 baseball.Sincerely.

Grumpy Miner, the only smart thing you said, ‘shut up and play ball.’ And no, i dont go to the park with my glove. I did however play division 2 baseball (OF, P), and i’m pretty sure you weren’t anywhere near as good as me in your prime. so please, you probably havent played the game at any level higher than little league. there’s so much you dont know. just another armchair athlete. you sir, are pathetic.

Honestly with all this carp on who said this,which player said that “team to beat” or what team choked. I have just 5 words for the players,announcers,sports radio hosts,reporters and fans…”Shut up and play ball” and let the chips fall where they may.If any ones team wins like your Phillies did,only THEN,everyone should have the Wright to talk trash until knocked down from the pulpit.As for Larry “Legend”…I have 2 words for you;John Rocker.

To me its actually a good thing when these players talk trash….Dont you think it’s that much more interesting when the games start?

We need more predictions from Mut players,It just fires us up .
Say what you want about JRoll but he backed up his statements.and Hamels just agreed with a question he was asked.

They may earn that privilege ,but what athlete believes that whos not on their team. Their are plenty of teams/players who feel they should have won and not to take away from the fact the Phillies just won it ,but they feel that this is the year now. Just like you felt last season and for the last 28 years.

k-rod wouldn’t have said it if jimmy rollins didn’t say it (and was right) and if carlos beltran didn’t say it (and was wrong). correct me if i’m wrong, but i’m pretty sure that the world champions automatically earn the privilege of being the team to beat

Obviously Matt….you are WRONG….Phillies fans like yourself remind us Amazins fans who was in 2nd.I don’t worry about it.Bigger fish to fry in this world.

I respect Chipper but I really don’t friggen care what he thinks. I also don’t care what Met’s fans think. Why is that, true believers? I’m a Phillies Phan and have been since I grew up in North Philly in the seventies. Granted, its very dangerous to visit my old neighborhood now and Vet Stadium is a memory.

A Gnat fan and/or player could sound off about how they are very good or somefink and I wouldn’t care. Media seeks out drama. All I know is that I visited Turner Field for an excellent game once. As the token Phillies Phan, it was my duty to do my drive by booing and taunting of the Braves and their fans. As their team lost, the white collar, affluent fans left in droves. I almost lost my voice taunting them and questioning their lineage, but I did my best.

While Chipper speaks from his anal orifice, I care more about what Charlie Manual thinks because after all, in Charlie we trust.

Nationals, I agree the Phillies backed up with what you said ,but if Jimmy Rollins didnt mean it to stick it to the mets then your dillusional. He knew what he was doing. And if you believe that then I can say for sure K-Rod just ment this is my team so we are the team to beat. have you ever been on a team where before the season starts you dont think you can win it all? didnt think so

hey phillyhater you’re right, all 5 of those mets fans on that blog were pretty classy, especially this guy:

”

i dont hate the Braves and/or Chipper nowhere near as much as I hate everything about the Phillies.

Posted by: phillyhater | January 3, 2009 3:15 PM
”

the reason that the mets fans agree with chipper and the phillies fans think he’s a big whiny baby is because whenever any of our players say things like “team to beat”, we are usually right, and back it up by winning (plus what jimmy said was not meant as a “stick it to the mets” comment.) Guys like carlos beltran and K-Rod open their mouths and they sound like jealous copycat muckrakers. I was actually embarassed for mets fans and that idiot beltran when he said “to jimmy rollins: we are the team to beat”… real original buddy.

AndrewR,lemme guess when you go to CBP with your glove,you think you are going to play don’t you.You can’t the Phillies won’t let you play.Now I have said this per nauseum,the Phils won the World Series,they were the better team in 2008 congrats.The 2009 Phillies and their fans better realise that there are 29 other teams who want what the Phillies have.The hunters have become the hunted,and now its time to see if they have the GUTS to repeat and make a name for themselves.

14 Straight DIvision Championships. ONE world series championship.

I think that success rate says everything there.
