Georgie, good post in regards to Jeff. Could not agree with you more. A loyal diehard fan of the Phillies should be supporting this team thru thick and thin.

Oh, and for the record, I think it’s ridiculous to be playing baseball this late in the year, it is indeed football and hockey weather, but if the Phillies were playing in Siberia in January, I would still be stoked and watching every inning (except the 9th with Lidge).

Jeff, you have been dissing this team all season on here, and I’m not talking about venting, it’s more than that with you. You are the true definition of a front-runner, when they lose , everyone sucks, you call Charlie every name in the book, when they win, you act like you never said any of that stuff. To say because of the start times/cold weather you can’t get into it..really, seriously, and you call yourself a diehard fan? Your team is in the freakin’ playoffs, and you can’t get into it because the timing doesn’t suit you personally? Speaking as a LOYAL fan of the Phillies, I think it’s safe to say they could do without your so-called support.

Sorry about the rant, but this Jeff character is a poor excuse for a Phillies fan.

If the game time for the phillies had to be moved to 12midnight to accomodate for the yankees, they would probably do it without any thoughts. It is very very annoying

Jeff goes through these phases but comes right back. Now he can only turn to hockey, I guess because there is no more Arena League???

Start times suck

After sitting through last year’s WS game 5, part 1, I can say with conviction; “Bud Selig is a dic*head and should not be the MLB commissioner. He needs to hold his ground at some point with the start times. Instead he gets played like some sort of marionette with the networks pulling the strings. If he agrees to these unplayable start times then he should dress up like a ball girl and be made to work in them!!!”
GO PHILS!!!

Ah, life is soooo good right about now…. Except for the “I can’t drink because I’m a recovering alcoholic part.” Do you have any idea how hard it was to watch my team drink and spray each other with champagne while I watched from the team bus…. All I had was cider dude… This is the 2nd time in the last week. Not cool…

they should move the schedule back to 154 games…did anyone hear awhile back about buck showalters idea of brining both leagues together?

Did anyone see former Phillies pitcher Vincente Padilla pitch for the Dodgers today against the Cardinals? Pitched 7 shutout innings, allowing only 4 hits. Wonder how the Phils would do against him? Former Phillies manager Larry Bowa was instrumental in the Dodgers picking up Padilla after he was released by Texas this past summer. Evidently Padilla pitched for Bowa when both were in Philly.

I agree, the start times suck.

I do find it annoying that the Red Sox and Yankees ALWAYS automatically get the prime time games. The Phils are now one of the premier franchises, right up there with the Sox and Yanks.

But let’s just win this series. If we reach the NLCS, we won’t have to worry start times……

Jeff you’re a pathetic excuse for a fan.
PATHETIC

if you “live and die” with this team..then you WOULDNT GIVE UP ON THEM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLAYOFFS IN A 1-1 SERIES

you have no control over the start times, when the playoffs start or the weather…

so your solution is to give up? and watch Ray Emery BLOW

good, give up then…because you’re pathetic in the first place…

any one who “lives and dies” with the team wouldn’t just give up on them because a game got washed out and the start times are weird..

last year they had day games…
and they are in the west now..
wtf do you want??

is selig good? no…

but for you to sit here and say you give up on them?

YOU’RE PATHETIC

GO BUY A METS HAT

Sorry Philsphan I live in and die with this team all year long. Ask my wife. She wont go near me after a big lose. This is not baseball. How can you get into this. Baseball is a poorly run sport. I am very happy we won the big series last seasn but waiting to play the last three innings days later. NOT THE SAME. MOVE ON TO HOCKEY.

Alright Jeff, let’s be realistic. You don’t really care that much about the Phillies if you’re going to give up on them because of a few crappy game times.

Yea I guess they can’t change the schedule like that but it would of been nice because cardinals and dodger were supposed to play at 3:30 which 1:30 colorado time which is perfect…I hate bud selig and mlb the nfl makes them look like dumb and dumber.

Easy solution to all of this scheduling crap: Make the season 160 games, or even 150…what kind of number is 162 anyway?

If you make the season 150-154 games, you can make the DS series a best-of-seven, which it SHOULD be, since no team that has played for six months straight deserves to have their season abruptly END after falling down 0-2.

This way, even in a year like 2009 when the season started late because of the WBC, you don’t have the playoffs going into November. A few less reg. season games won’t hurt anything, the races will still be as tight, etc.

It’s such a ridiculous system that isn’t changed because the powers-that-be are too lazy to change it.

I was so into the Phillies all year long. Now with all these delays and three days off, I cant get into anymore. Sorry. Stop the season in August and play playoffs in September. Its not the same anymore. Go Flyers.

Joe Buck is the happiest person on the earth. He will be calling the ALCS on FOX this year Yankees vs Angels/Redsox. He loves the yankees and his buddy timmy will praise the Yankees until the end of world. Poor angels fans Joe will hate you like he did us last year.

Vin, excuse me, old man. You have it all wrong. The Cardinals. My Cardinals. My father’s Cardinals, are going to the next round. We’re coming back and spanking you and all your East L.A. thug fans all over the place.

Joe, can we put you in the hotel room with Poo-holes? You enjoy that stuff….
