Phillies Nation

Well, they already have their lead to blow again this year.

I believe sheff signed with the mets because, as per the article you sited,

“I know I have a chance to win a championship here,” Sheffield said.

enough said.

apparently he knows the mets are better.

As a long time phillies fans, I truly believe the mets will be vastly improved with there bullpen, and the addition of sheffield. We have been beating them, but they now have solved one of there biggest weakness. there starters are as good as ours. they lack the lineup we have. I still don’t like the ibanez signing. I would rather have tried for manny. He would have been a difference maker to me. But they seem to know what they are doing so maybe it will work out. The problem with manny is a extra 12 million don’t know how they could have made that up it would have them at 145

how can phillyhater come on this blog. after the choking mets have shown nothing to prove they can win it, only logical thing is that these guy is a young kid or a nut?

Phillyhater you are hilarious….seriously you are going to talk trash after 1 game to defending world champions (god I love typing that). Its a marathon not a sprint. I will say the Mets are improved and it will be tight race again this year, but it is still waaaay too early for trash talk as far as I am concerned.

go Phils!

what you people are nuts…you are all the ones talking about what sheffield and wright were saying for him to come to the mets…and i simply said good job the other night against the braves…i wasnt trying to trash talk…and you guys won the world series…i dont see how you can still talk about winning last year when this year has started…we beat you guys head to head last year…sure you won the world series…god job…we might as well have just given you the division since we lost it ourselves…even after winning the world series no one other than the fans of philly think you have a chance to win..

you guys are worse than yankee fans…at least they have 26 world championship rings to show for..both of our teams have two

moron?…man you dont even know me

Dear phillyhater:

I am heartened to see that you stopped coating your nut sack with Jiffy extra chunky peanut butter while gazing longingly at nude Erik Estrada pictures long enough to chime in to our fair site. I always get a chuckle when I read your posts because I can only think of all the things you must do in life and all the people you must see…..all from the comforts of your parents basement. And btw, no matter what anybody says, 42 is NOT too old to get your GED so crack those books! As for who thinks the Phils might win this year, I’m sure everyone in Queens likes the Mets. Rest assured that the civilized world would probably all bet on the Phils. Thanks for your contribution and keep those cards and letters coming.

Lovingly,

The Dipsy

As a Mets fan, I can only say to all the Philly fans here, please disregard what Phillyhater says. He is a moron, obviously and does not speak for all Mets fans.

If he had any sense and WASNT a bandwagon Mets fan, he would know that the Phillies have lost their last two opening day games—-and look at the result: a world series ring and two division titles. The Mets just have bad memories. So we can relish in our “best opening day record” bs stat all we want. Fact is, Phillies have spanked the Mets the past two seasons. No two ways about it. That being said, I do hate the Phillies for that.

Hmm good point. You know what it is though, you see Yankees fans everywhere.

Sheffield, Mets…. all I have to say is who cares. Lets focus on the Phillies and what they need to do.

The Phillies need to score runs regardless of who is pitching, even though Myers gave up 4, our bats did not wake up till it was too late. If they would have come back in the ninth we would not be complaingin so much. If Myers only gave up a 2 run homer we still would have lost:(

Lets stop worry about how good or not good the mets are. Thats what they want us to do. They have won nothing since 86, I was in the 6th grade! They need to earn the concern, not just go out and buy it… Look at the Yankees….Kaboom!

did you guys know your in last place?

i think you guys are lookin solid this year and now that the mets have a compitent bullpen it should be a piece of cake

sj mike are u stupid? did you see what i said about now having 2 top closers in the game? dummy

ha

Excuse me? How was I complaining about the fans being arrogant? As someone who has attended the home opener 9 years in a row and goes to atleast a dozen games a year while living 2.5 hours away I was simply pointing out that Phillies fans have a reason, and a right to be arrogant, at least for this year. The whole point of my post was to say that we have a reason to be arrogant when the Mets fans do not. Not sure how that fact escaped you but next time try reading a little more carefully before you try and call me out.

First game of the season,we haven’t seen anything yet.Yet its so fun to see everyone beat their chest and show their machismo and bravado and yet nobody has one anything yet in this young season.

Mike, rest of those taking the bait hook line and sinker, read my above post!

Well,the pen we have now,they say this Sean Green guy looks pretty good,Feliciano and Stokes (From last seasons Poison Pen) is pick your poison,Darren O’Day and Bobby Parnell who is home grown are unknowns to me,along with Putz and K-Rod for the 8th and 9th….I’ll take this pen we have over that DREK of Heilman,Ayala,Smith,Schowenweis etc any day of the week;twice on Sunday.ALSO I am not 100% if true but outside chance Billy Wagner comes back in August.Imagine a 3 Headed monster of Wagner,Putz and K-Rod from the 7th to the 9th?I’m salivating!
