Phillies Nation

Kev….its a Phillies fan page,and yet also its a free fan forum as well,and if certain fans want to make quintessential assess of themselves,so be it.If Tim wanted this to be an ONLY Phillies fans website,he’d have had people apply and offer them a secret password to join.Now I am a Platinum card carrying Mets fan and never will be a fan of the Phillies,that doesnt mean I can’t voice an opinion.I come in here almost everyday,INCLUDING thru your playoff run,gave them the respect when it was called for and hope to say one of the well respected Mets fans in here and will continue to vent in here.As the great Ric Flair once said it Kev. “Whether you like it,or you don’t like it,learn to love it”

definitely better than metsblog?
HA DOES THIS BLOG HAVE A DEAL WITH THE TEAMS REGIONAL SPORTS NETWORK?

THE ONLY THING BETTER IS HOW THIS BLOG DOSNT MODERATE LIKE EVERY FREEKIN COMMENT!

Too many people in Metsblog…2008 World Championship is in Pittsburgh.

Hey David W,

Nice Hamels stats. How about this: 2008 Post-Season: 5 games, 4-0. Johan Santana: 0 games, no record.

Who’s consumed with who?

Howard will wreck anyone? Is this WWE? Brett Myers a golden glove champ?? Did he earn does when he beat his wife…?

Also, I love this, “New York>>>>>>> Philadelphia” crap. Listen, I live inbetween the two, love going to both. It’s never a bad time. New York sports though aren’t up to par of late:

-We won the world series, you didn’t have a playoff game.
-The Eagles ended the Giants season.
-The Sixers are world better than the Knucks.
-The Flyers, Rangers, and Devils are tight, as usual, but it’ll end up like last year, with us as the last man standing.

before anyone starts saying that this is a rivalry..its not a rivalry yet…all it is is 4 or 5 grown men taking jabs at each other…once there is a brawl or once they phillies or mets start winning more than one world series…than we can talk about being a rivalry….i believe that this year there will be a fight..me personally…and with the whole we won the world series and mets fans on here saying thats the past..if thats the case then you cant be talking about how we beat them head to head last year…bottom line is that its a new year…you give the phillies their credit…blah blah blah…mets have to beat them…they very well can…and in my own opinion even with the phillies winning the world series i still dont think they are better than the mets…

We should’ve kept Rudy Seanez around just for on-field fights.

It is a rivalry. Both teams are playing well at the same time and they play each other like 18 to 19 times a year. The hatred just add fuel to the fire. I never cared about the Phils and Mets matchup til 2007 and suddenly Phillies fans emerged from no where with thier big mouths like they weren’t the most losing team of all time.

philsfans=clueless… i believe the super bowl took place in ’09, nice try tho

Both teams just need to shut up and let the play on the field do the talking but if you want a national perspective on ny baseball when it comes to the mets and yankees just go to youtube and search colin cowher mets

how is this a rivalry?…are you kidding me?…because they throw words around and sa we are the team to beat?…please…not only that….the media basically presses the players to say something stupid to blow it out of proportion?..come on…this whole mets/phillies “rivalry” is stupid…because its not one….call me when they fight on the field and start throwing at each other…until then shut up and play ball..

but im with stink….let the fans do all the talking on the boards and let the players do their thing on the field…i just wanted to bust your balls posting everything I posted earlier this morning….AND IT WORKED….LOL.

Phillyhater, you sure did win a super bowl. Your last game was a loss to the Eagles though. So, that would mean the Eagles ended the Giants season. As for the Sixers, they have the best record in the NBA over the last 20 games, and now are competing for 4th-5th in the east, in other words, a home series. That’s a lot better than the Knucks.

As for us being better than the Mets, we won the division by a game in 2007, then by 3 in 2008, and the World Series the same year. They haven’t had a playoff game in 2 years, there’s no discussion really until they get in too. I’d go on to say we’re better than your other NY team too, who hasn’t won a division since 2006, and hasn’t seen the World Series since 2003.

you’re probably right… its not a rivalry. at least not an exciting one.

you would actually need TWO competitive teams to have a good rivalry.

C’mon, ALL teams have stupid and reactionary fanbases. I only care what the players do and say and I saw Eagles players give nothing but respect to the Giants. This is a baseball blog and aside from Pelfry on the FAN yesterday, I haven’t heard a single Met say “well, they just won the World Series and we collapsed so I mean, we’re really in no position to talk.”

If fans want to talk trash to eachother and debate whos better and so forth thatscool, because thats the nature of any fan, The players should just worry about what goes on the field, and I personally think a lot of this trash talk between the teams is getting over hyped by the media in both cities, the only thing people are talking about with the yankees is arod, so the ny media probably wants another story to distract baseball fans from that and if you life in philly you know that the philly media will try to make a big deal out of anything, just look at donovan mcnabb, anything that has come out of his mouth the last month has been turned into some huge contraversy

One observation….Any article about Phila -vs- Mets negative comments,and there is a guaranteed post explosion.

New York is the greatest city in the world? Please. Historically, New York City was a safe haven to British Loyalists. Until Guliani’s administration, NYC was a safe haven for scumbags. If New York had it’s way historically, we’d be typing with British accents, waiting for our 4 oclock spot of tea, while smack talking about cricket and not baseball. New York is a s- hole. Philadelphia is, among other things, THE BIRTHPLACE OF OUR COUNTRY. Trump that scumbags.

who is everyone?…mets fans and phillies fans?…yankees/red sox or rivals…thats a rivalry…talk to me when they start being like that…when they start chucking at people…when the catcher has to separate players….i mean come on…ohhhh wow….and kevin..lol….just because the mets collapsed twice in consecutive years…it always came down to the wire…they are competetive..they just choke…so…

Rich just said that the Phils could beat the Yankees, which I agree they could… if you’re calling that a comparison, then thats on you.

I didn’t see any comparisons made, maybe I overlooked it.

Comparing the two cities is pointless, were all part of the same country were all dealing with how shitty this country is right now, its not like new york isnt facing the same problems as philly or d.c or any other city, why don’t peope just stick to baseball when it comes to trash talk why does it matter on what city is better

theres a difference in competing for a championship and competing for a playoff spot.

Kevin : Rich said this:

I’d go on to say we’re BETTER than your other NY team too, who hasn’t won a division since 2006, and hasn’t seen the World Series since 2003.

the fact that hes pointing out the stats of their post season pretty much implies that he is comparing the two…thank you..

and stink i agree…thats just pointless…its a baseball blog…not a historical blog..

Rivalry only includes two teams….not the the whole MLB….you don’t make sense. If both Fan base stops to watch then yes its a rivalry….what makes a rivalry the team or the fans??? Its the Fans…if it wasnt why would each fan base make there way to the other club stadium….the passion for baseball between the two is great resulting in rivalry.
