Phillies Nation

I was at the game today. Sitting one row behind Werth. I asked him how his knee was and he said not good. I said are you going to play sunday and he gave me a grin. I think he will be on the 15 day. He was limping. His swing was off. Also is Charlie going to pull Blanton at some point. You give a double to the pitcher and all hell breaks lose. They are in trouble with this pitching.

wow, Griffin that’s terrible.

I’m going to the game tomorrow, go Phillies!

BUUUUUUUUUUUUT,First place does feel great.

I honestly don’t know which is more frustrating at this point….Jimmy…or the starting pitching. I know most would jump to the starting pitching, but setting the table the way Jimmy should actually sets the tone for the lineup as well as the starting pitching. Pitching with a lead is different than pitching from behind.

Tim sucks, He can never give it to the other team. He says the Phils MADE Vasquez look like cy young. No he made the Phillies look retarded. And as for being upset at Met fans commenting on being in first, thats what happens when Philly fans comment on being in first place 10 games into the season like some were here.

Congrats chutly on your first place May showing. It’s too bad you never had this feeling in October.

Hey. Mets fan living in Philly here. Trust me, no Mets fan with half a brain should be bragging about being in 1st place, by half a game no less, this early in season given what’s happened to us the last two seasons.

Daniel Murphy your stud left fielder here for the whole season? Your skitz manager doesn’t even play him every day

It’s just sad how self conscious mets fans have become since “no edge” beltran took that called knee-buckling third strike in ’06. Adam Wainwright anybody?

Ya you gotta give happ a shot;the starting rotation is a real serious predicament. Can you imagine if they sent moyer down for awhile like they did with myers? Obviously they can’t because he has a lot more than 5 years of big league experience, but it would be kinda cool seeing someone his age pitching in triple a :)

Ya philthadelphia, I agree with you. Cursed is the mom whose womb was polluted by a world series ring. How do such women cope with such misery?

I wonder how mediocre Carrasco must be to still be pitching for the Pigs against the Crash Davis’ of the world. You would think if he had any shot of contributing he would be up here by now….ps….don’t worry about the Mets fans on here. Just like Jose Reyes and their new fat closer, they are all show and no substance. As long as Mr. Heimlich is still managing them, they pose no threat to us. Their whole team is like a fake plant. It looks good on the outside, but after awhile everybody knows its a tacky fraud that will never bear any fruit.

Doesnt help that he actually sounds excited when opposing teams hit homeruns.

Mr. Met,
You guys have one of the best voices in the country in Gary Cohen on SNY. Does that guy have some pipes or what?
I subscribe to MLB Audio live radio. You’re right, McCarthy is a little weak, but Howie Rose is an above-average play by play guy.

I think your a little confused, that was your dad calling telling you to turn the computer off its past bedtime.

Isnt there a Mets board where sych things can be discussed? No disrespect to the rational Mets fans but this is a Phillies board.

I like Cohen too. H.Rose is good too, but Cohen is in another league.

like I said Mcarthy is alright, but at times he’s a bit much.

to be honest the guy who burns me up is Larry Anderson. his comment about throwing one at Reyes neck was priceless, but he just complains non stop about the opposing team not just the mets either. whether its their players celebrating, or the stadium,the food at the stadium, the music, the view. it never stops. its comical, i find myself listening to him just to hear what he’s going to say next

What did you guys think of the Victorino elbowing Reyes. I respect him for it b/c it was a heads up play with winning the game in mind, but it seems like he’s always in the middle of a dirty play. i’m hoping the mets buzz him next time, not hit him, just a little “how u doin”

Mr Met,

I think it was a heads up play, that being said if it were the reverse I might be a little upset but baseball is a “contact” sport. Players are taught at all levels when in a run down to try to initaiate contact for an interference call, this is nothing new.

Ghjkls: Sure… but where’s the fun in trash talking when everyone will just agree with you? Honestly, the way to get rid of the trash talking trolls is to simply agree with them.

The next time someone tells you the Phillies suck moose ass, say “Yes they do!” And when they say that Philadelphia IS a moose ass, say “Yes it is!” And when they say you must be a moose turd since you live in a moose ass, say “Yes I am.” I guarantee we’ll all go away….

Ghjkls: We have that in common. :)

Victorino’s play was a little bush league, but so is drilling the opposing pitcher in the back after he nailed your cleanup hitter where it hurts. Honestly, if Shane was my own son I’d probably be more than a tad upset at him. But he’s not. And as a phillies fan I love a hard-nosed player like that.
Not to bring this back to the mets, but Victorino is exactly what they need. In my estimation, its the reason why they failed the last two years and the reason why they’re destined to fail again this year.

Ghjkls: Yeah… I don’t wanna have anything in common with a Phillies fan either, so I agree!!! Oh, wait… now we’re agreeing, too?!?!?

The paradox is making my head hurt….

nyhater Says: In my estimation, its the reason why they failed the last two years and the reason why they’re destined to fail again this year.

If they fail the same way (with some atrocious September collapse)…

I’d love to say something harsh… like I’ll become a Phillies fan or (far worse) a Yankees fan… but the reality is, even if there’s some stupi collapse this year, I’ll just add a new set of scars to the ones I got on my back from the last two years worth of whipping and I’ll root for them again next year…

They say that a characteristic of insanity is performing the same act time after time and expecting different results. I guess all REAL fans of a team have to be a little crazy then. We can’t win every year… but we all expect to.

Bald insults are a poor substitute for a pointed, reasoned response, and a sign of being, as I stated above, an ignoramus.

Enjoy your new haircut, and have a good night.

Phils Phan: Good night… douchebag. Hey, if its any help to you in your profession, where can I rate you? Because, as far as douchebags go, I would give you 5 stars. I’d like to point it out so its clear to everyone that, as far as douchebags go, you’re among the elite. You’re Senior Douche…. or would you prefer Senior Bag? Either way, you’re it.
