Phillies Nation

j reed- not really but wasn’t sure what else to call countries that still share our Queen.

^j reed- forgot to mention there we Brits call Aussies convicts. Funniest joke I ever heard was how the British sent it’s most hardened criminals to the most unforgiving climate in the world, let them breed, challenged them to a game of cricket and still expected to win…

The funny thing is I’m a die-hard Phils and Iggs fan but couldn’t care less about Soccer. There are plenty of soccer stadiums in London but it was The Vet that did it for me.

A lotta family from Philly and that first time at The Vet, it was an ugly piece of knee-shredding crap… But it was our ugly piece of knee shredding crap.

Unfortunately haven’t been to CBP yet, unfortunately have only been over in football season since it was opened. The Linc’s a beaut though but it doesn’t have that smell the Vet had, that smell of the fear of a career-ending injury coming from the sidelines.

NJ – that’s funny…I don’t have anything against the Aussies other than that dreadful accent. Makes me want to throw myself into a wood chipper….As to the climate…a friend of mine married an Austrialian marine biologist. She told us that when your an Aussie kid, along with your Dr. Seuss, you get another book, one that’s much thicker than all your other books with smaller print but still has lots of cute pictures. It’s called “Things That Sting”. Like funnel-web spiders who have bragging rights to the deadliest spider venom in the world…They even have a snake called a Death Adder…just to name two of the hundreds of things that kill you in minutes or turn a limb into goo in an hour…Not to mention all the big things that can devour your like crocs and great white sharks. I guess kola bears were the constellation prize. Austrialia and the Amazon are two places were God put his evolutionary experiments that backfired and couldn’t be trusted to play well with the other animals

unfortunately not otherwise I would be at CBP nightly…

Aussies are funny, I think there are more ex-pat Aussies than ones living there. BTW if you want to go to a soccer game Spain’s the place to go, their government recently plowed money into one of their teams to cover a shopping spree to get back on top of the soccer world…

NJ – Spain sounds nice but I’ll wait for the Philadelphia Union, more in my budget…I think one of soccer’s problems in the States (other than the low scoring which isn’t always the case. Beside baseball fans, hockey fans are already familiar with these types of outcomes)is that it televises so poorly. To get the whole scope of the match the camera has to be at some distance from the field and consequently the players look so small….You can’t see the agility of players or how fast the game moves man to man. Looks like old moves when flim didn’t have as enough frames to properly show motion at it’s real-time speed. Some of the MLS games I have watched were closer to the action and so much more entertaining. It seems like MLS fields are not as wide as those I’ve seen on televised European or Latin American matches. Could be wrong but shorter dimension would favor more offensive output.

Mike B. – or Naomi Watts that do it

I don’t know Holly Vance. I suppose baseball and football are similar in that the action has defined, regualr intervals of play which in between allow for more deliberation and therefore more strategic manuvering. I like hockey but the only strategy I know other than trapping which is an illegal defense now, is get the friggin puck…basketball strategy is a little more obvious since things aren’t moving at 30 mph and soccer strategies other than overacting for penalities are hard to see materialize with all that space. For me football is to complicated and I don’t like the NFL’ packaging…Sunday Night Football in America its too heartland for words, and is far more obnoxious that the nostagilic trappings of baseball . Also I didn’t go to a big university where football is often very important on many social and economoc levels. And high school football players are the a## holes of jock culture that most students have to endure in some capacity. Jello Biafara sums it up best in the song Jock-O-Rama off of the Dead Kennedys’ hardcore classic Frankenchrist. And with all the pads, football players look like extras in low budget sci-fi flicks. Couldn ‘t be worse than hockey players who look like penguins that crapped their pants.

Well , let’s see…i guess this about sums it up:

1.) the phillies are in a serious run scoring slump and with The Freak pitching tonight, it will continue (no way Phils win tonight)
2.) Happ seems to be in a decline. How does he give up 4 runs in 6 innings….bad time to pick up a slump Unhappy Happ..
3.) Pedro is mediocre at best…..(it’ll be proven tonight) but the Phils can’t score runs , so if Pedro allows only 1-2 runs it won’t matter because Linsecum will virtually get a no-hitter……
4.) Hamels and Lidge will revert back to true form (Losers)
5.) Ibanez went from Triple A fodder to Single A. Terrible. Possibly contributed to going off Roids after the witch hunt at the break for users and after the small talk that those first half numbers were so “un Ibanez – like”. SEND HIM DOWN!!!
6.) Braves not that far off. Phils go into a mini slump and the braves on a mini roll and they are all caught up.

How do you not score against Penny? You don’t if your in a Runs – scoring slump….normally the highest scoring team in the National League (don’t forget – it’s the Phils!) would have scored against Penny.

What then, is the answer? you go with what you have, obviously…..and don’t use Lidge in save situations, use Chan Ho or Meyers when off DL; bench Ibanez; use Moyer in earlier appearances (start him 5th,6th innings). Hope Dobbs gets better soo
Have a nice day…..
