Phillies Nation

Little nervous that Cole might get screwed again tonight, cause of the long trip home, does anyone know if Cole was even at the game last night, or did he fly home from LA. That would make sense, but with some philly fans that might be a sign of disrespect for the team, and not being a team player. Hopefully they had an easy flight home, but you have to figure they did not get home until after 2 am. But winning does wonders for the tired and weary. Good that Chooch had the night off, any chance Dom Brown and Ben Fran play tonight, and maybe even Valdez for Polly since he got hit it the elbow last night? Would suck for Cole but they might need to do that.

Dipsy…thumbs up

GameDay threads….generally I don’t participate. I like to watch the game too. But, occasionally, I’ll get involved if it’s a really exciting situation and I want to see what my phellow phans are saying.

But, I’m really more of a daytimer.

shag…just curious about something…..some months ago…early in the season….someone from the Channel 17 postgame show interviewed a fan from Vermont after the Sunday game…I believe it was in Chickie’s and Pete’s??….Was that, by chance, you?

Lefty, this is what I do instead of participating in game day threads. I sit in a bar with a bunch of people watching the game. This gives me entertainment value AND an off chance at scoring some companionship at the same time. Social multi tasking. Afternooon games are the best. Beer just takes hold of woman in a different way at 3:00 in the afternoon. Being drunk while the sun shines bright. Disorienting yet thrilling at the same time. Nobody has to worry about getting up for work, blah. Usually, I suggest that a lady stick around for Post Game Live and if she does…..slam dunk. And we’re all home in time for for the replay at 7:30. What a country.

The Dipsy

Dipsy- LOL -Thumbs up on slam dunks!
Speaking of work, I gotta get back to it. Later

Do not over look the Brewers. This is the toughest series of the season.

Nope sorry, do not get to go anywhere except back home after the game on Sunday My wife has to work in the morning, and I run a restaurant so I can come in when ever I want. Also if any of you are ever in the Burlington/Colchester area of Vermont, there is a couple of drinks waiting for you at T-Bones Restaurant and Bar in Colchester VT right next to the Hampton Inn

The Phillies usually handle the Brewers in the past couple of years, just a little worried about the amount of games played in a row. That Monday Double header is going to be tough, any news on who will be pitching the second game, or will Roy 2 pitch at night, then who will pitch the first game? Carpenter seems to have done OK in the past, and the Fish are a team that he can handle I would think.
I too am not a big fan of game day threads, will read them after the fact, plus I work most nights so I DVR the Phillies game and try not to see the score on the TV in the bar and go home and watch it like it was live, except I get to skip all the comercials and trips to the mound, and pitching changes. The one bad thing about LA games starting so late on the east coast, LA loves to have mound visits, both by Torre and the catcher and I can not FF past it.
Maybe it is a coincidence but every since I paid for my post season tickets the Phillies are winning, HMMMM. Plus I got lucky and am have WS tickets if they get there, which was not guaranteed, was at game 5 last year. By the way the usually win when I am there so if anybody wants to give me tickets to all playoff home games(if they make it) I think that would be a good Idea.

This is a trap series.
They will be up for the Braves thats not an issue.
This is city 3 in 3 days.

Very exciting game last night against the Rockies. THe game will hopefully set the stage for a magnificent September where both the offense and pitching click and we win the NL East. I hope Howard is heating up and ready to roll. It looks real good

Crab fries before the wieners. Hmmm… all preceded by an ice cold 6 pack in relaxing style in the parking lot prior to the game.

Nobody will be sitting in front of me, the rail to the rf foul pole is holding my beer!

Hahha! Actually, you guys are a gas. Your personalities are all different, unique and down right funny at time – not only that, you guys are I think pretty bright fans with some decent ideas – not that anyone but us will listen to them, Cholly doesn’t give a hoot who we think would be best to lead off (Werth…).

Back to the Phils – They are in the midst of 24 straight games – 23 days of hard nosed baseball. A stellar performance by Cole is probably needed in order for the Phils to come away with a W tonight, this has been a grueling schedule. The Braves too are in the midst of playing 20 in a row. Big difference they are playing away for 6 straight then have the pleasure of coming home only to face the Cards who might be waking from thier coma anytime soon for 4 games.

The Phils of course start out with 3 vs the Brewers and I agree it is a pretty important series. They need to at least take 2 of 3.

Crazy year eh? Huge disappointments scattered throughout but we are still on the verge of WS #3.

hey bostonkate, i have an extra ticket to the Mutts series end of the month I am going to Saturday and Sunday games, leaving around 10 pm Friday if you can get to Burlington you more then welcome to come. And really if you can get here by 9 am on Saturdays I go down to the game you are more then welcome to ride down with us.

The Brewers are dead… they’re playing for nothing at this point. They just got swept by the Reds and that’s all folks. They have one decent pitcher, Gallardo, and a bunch of ho-hums… Wolf is the only probable starter that scares me because he always plays up for us.

Lucky? really, I do not know if my wife would think it was lucky.

Here I thought we could divest to a dating site?? Oh well – just a thought.

My neighbor told me that he drives to Chickie & Pete’s, valet parking and for $10 takes the shuttle to the game – its called the Crab Bus – after the game the shuttle runs like every 10 minutes and you are so close the 76 there is virtually no wait.

I will try that next time. Sunday

Haha hasn’t shag said before he has a wife? I’m pretty sure her or my boyfriend wouldn’t be too happy about us getting lucky.

Although, I’d be down for PN turning into a dating site. I’m sick of the sox shitheads I deal with on a regular basis who don’t know or understand real baseball.
