Keep up the good work Amanda. You wouldn’t happen to be Amanda or from deercamponline.com would you?

Amanda, I am happy to verify any info first, will e-mail you all my contact info. You are fine though, I think you are doing a great job as I said earlier. That was more directed at the info you heard, not at you. Wherever you heard it, that is reliable!

MP I give you mad props for researching that. I should be the one double checking that. Good work. Kudos.

The first column is the year, second and third is the W-L column. It says 97, but there were two losses I forgot to add, so it is 100-99.

That is why I like you Grrrumpy – fair as always.

Papa Thompson – I was skeptical too, not of Amanda, but of the info she heard. I am ASSUMING that they didn’t do it in war years because in 1916-1917 (I think) and 1941-1943 no 4th of July games were played by the Phillies. Most other years though until 1953 were all doubleheaders. That is what I miss about baseball – doubleheaders. NOT the split doubleheaders, but the one ticket-two game ones.

Sorry haven’t been here the last 2 days,busy celebrating the Fourth of July weekend (yes even I have a life too! lol).I still am hearing the slide whistle where David Wright had the ball fall behind him,and when Omir Santos screwed that catch up,I heard “BOOOOOIIIIIIIIIING!”I just love when teams give other teams “Extra Outs”.J-Roll is waking up and Moyer did pitch a quality game yesterday as the bullpen is starting to show signs of life.Its hard for the Amazins to win a game without using fundamentals and kills you if 3 of the top 4 of your batting line-up is on the shelf.Today Cy Johan needs to pitch a quality game and shut down the Phillies,or else 4 games back.With all this,I am not giving up on my Amazins season for one reason….The Phils have shown that its never over until the last day and the bitter end.LETS GO METS!

I want the spreadsheet.

Just kiddin. That’s a pretty good nugget of fact that came out of all that research though. I never knew about the tradition of July 4 double-headers or that there were no July 4 games in war years.

Maverick, don’t take your time to write here then. We don’t care. Your comments make you sound like an ass anyway.

Georgie – yeah, sadly. I wonder how many of them are really Mets fans and how many are other fans trying to spark us up? I have to learn to ignore. I hate stupidity though, that is my only problem – I don’t mean like spelling or typos, I make tons of those, but those who say things without thinking.

Georgie — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 14:44:42 +0000

Agreed, M.P., I guess we have to realize that some guys have not yet graduated from cave-dwelling.

If anyone wants my spreadsheet ask, and I will SHOW you we are 100-99. Took me an hour to do that crap and I had to sit and go year by year by year on the 4th of JULY.

Also, I offered to pay for a server upgrade at PN to require logins, but no response. I had the money to donate, but if they don’t want them, then I will deal with trolls.

And for the record, I think Amanda is doing a hell of a good job.

M.P. aka A.J. #54 — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 14:38:10 +0000

CLIFF READ MY POST – I SPENT A FREAKING HOUR VERIFYING THE INFO SHE RECEIVED: SHE DID NOT MAKE IT UP SHE GOT IT FRMO THE RAIO. Yes I am yelling:

We are indeed 100-99. Apparently it was customary to have doubleheaders until 1953, except in years of war, where July 4 was an off day. I am tired. Amanda, you heard right!

Tracey/mjkvol – The larger issue was what he said about me not defending phillies phans. I see what you mean about the trolls, but it is tupidity I hate more than anything. I do appreciate your comments…

Maverick has always been a troll, I know…

Well my boys did supposedly invent the sport, another game we ‘created’ and can’t play worth a shit…

To author, Amandor Orr:

The Phillies have not been playing for 198 years…how can they POSSIBLY be 99-99 on Independence Day? That would mean the Phillies have been playing baseball since 1811? Weren’t we still fighting the British back then?

Wow Maverick is as bad as a mets fan.
