Phillies Nation

I love the Phils, but I feel bad for the Reds. Talk about embarrassment. They do need a mercy rule.

Maybe the SS wants to lower his ERA! lol Not even Bugs Bunny himself can save the Reds! lol whats the score BTW….turned the game off 2 hours ago..

Even if you took away the 1st inning it would still be 12 to 1!

grumpy: 22-1…the reds need the looney tunes baby elephant if they want to get back in it, and he plays for peanuts

22-1? I almost wish they did this to the Amazins this weekend.Glad that cough button worked.Thanx LA

Phils just blew their NL run lead threw the roof…….429 after tonight

Phillies win 22-1 :D

wow, that was embarrassing….

Grumpy- he ya go:

Robert McKimson directed a duo of delightful cartoons featuing the baby elephant, Bobo, who first appeared in 1947′s “Hobo Bobo”. In this cartoon, Bobo is in India dreaming about going to America to play baseball in the circus, instead of his boring job he has carrying logs. Bobo tries to sneak aboard a ship, but without much success, until he takes the advice of the Mynah Bird (from the Inki cartoons), and paints himself pink because “after all, no one will admit to seeing a pink elephant”. He finally makes his way to the big city where a street cleaning truck washes the pink paint off Bobo. He goes to court and the judge sentences him to life in the circus, as part of the elephant baseball team! Unfortunately, he’s made bat boy, given the job similar to what he had back in India! Bobo comments: “Bat Boy Shmat Boy! I’m still carrying logs!”.
Bobo didn’t re-appear until 1954′s “Gone Batty”. This short’s story is similar to that of a Friz Freleng’s cartoon “Baseball Bugs”. In it the Sweetwater Snooks, a baseball team of skinny gentlemen, is losing horribly to the big tough thugs that make up the opposite team: the Greenville Goons. The manager decides to call in Bobo, the team mascot, to play. In the end, the Snooks win, and a reporter exclaims how amazing the baseball playing elephant was, the manager adds “Not only that, but he works for peanuts!”.

haha the Mets are so bad Spider man couldn’t even save them. Or the Reds for that matter. check this out.

I hope the dodgers play like they have been against the Mets this week.

what a beating

Why are Phillies fans voting for Sandoval? There are already 2 really good 3b’s and the NL needs and outfielder. I just don’t get it

OK,Now I have a troll/Secret Admirer using my Moniker? lol I do agree Amazins did handle The big A and I don’t mean Anabolic like Manny being Manny,probably the Only thing Omar did right is not signing Manny and his dog and Pony show.I can never picture myself or any Mets fan using Manny being Manny.

TheBigRedP- Actually if you look at their numbers

Sandoval- .333 avg, 93 h, 12 hrs, 44 rbi’s, 38 xbh, 39 r, 3 sb and 3 e’s

Victorino – .308 avg, 99 h, 6 hrs, 39 rbi’s, 34 xbh, 60 r, 13 sb and 1 e

Even Phillies fans over look Vic’s value

I agree and if Jimmy hadn’t been slumping so bad and ending rallies Vic would have more rbi’s

Sandoval- on base %: .388 slugging: .566= .954 ops

Victorino- on base %: .363 slugging: .447= .810 ops

I still think he is having a better season

What did Sandoval bat against the AL during interleague? Vic .400 and thts against the so-called best division in baseball. Everyone is in love with home runs. What lead-off type hitter does the NL have on that roster?

Vic does have 45 more at bats than sandoval, so obiousvly he has more power than Vic (Vic is NOT a power hitter), but that could have something to do with his career high numbers. Less at bats can often lead to a high batting average.

Shane has a better fielding percentage and has only committed 1 error, Sandoval has 3. Yea I saw that but he is still fresh and the league will catch on to him now

All of the runs are fantastic but as I have seen many times in the past, the Phils often have trouble scoring runs the in the next game after getting a good number of runs the day before.

Ab machines vary greatly in price but although most are normally under the hundred dollars, it does not automatically reflect how good the machine is. For the average person wanting to get started they should look at the AB Slide or Torso Track II which do the job, are cost effective, movable and easy to store. Most machines enhance regular exercise and gym regimes but what you need to investigate before paying out the money is what muscles they actually work on. If they do not tone up both the ab muscles and the oblique’s then do not buy that machine because you cannot obtain the ultimate six pack if you do not work on these muscles.
