Phillies Nation

“my name is Publius, and I don’t like fun…. now stand over here so I can dump a bucket of water on ya.” Publius 4/4/11 Come on dude lighten up. Live the dream! We’re 3-0. I wouldn’t classify it as a disaster they’ve had one bad inning in 3 games little early to decide one [...]

Welcome to the boards. I hope you’re right that would be a really cool way to start the season.

Come on Pat you can be realistic later this week. The Phillies are 3-0 bro come on and join in the dream of the 162-0 season.

I think Cholly’s just being careful with their pitch counts to start Jimmy. Don’t want to burn out the arms early especially with 5 run leads. Also if it wasn’t for two bad plays Halladay goes 7 for sure.

I’m with you guys this is a really great start for the team. The pitching and the hitting is everything we were dreaming of in December. I’m already annoyed we have an off day before the next game. I don’t know how anyone could be still feeling pessimistic after an opening day walk off and [...]

Awesome start for the Phils. If the Phils keep going like this, maybe that Young trade won’t be necessary. Looking for Hamels and Heavy B to keep it rolling, love to send the Mets to the basement of the division on the second series of the season.

Let’s Go Phils!

And with this victory + the Marlins defeat the Phils move into a 1 game lead on the second day of the season! (meaningless I know but still fun). Other than that one mad cutter to Carlos Lee this was an awesome start for Cliff, really like seeing the offense showing up just hoping Shane [...]

I’ll take it man. That is the way to start off the season let everybody know right away you can’t quit on the Phils!

Huge win for the Phillies. It’s about time they picked up Roy Halladay when he doesn’t have his best stuff. I’m sure i’m not the only one who was thinking about pinch hitting for Wilson Valdez in that spot… thank God Charlie is the manager instead of me.

Highfives all around boys!

Strong outing from Doc today. I can’t wait for opening day.

Okay… I’m.. I’m gonna be optimistic here, that even if the Phils lose Chase for part of the year if he’s healthy and productive by the all star break I think we can deal with it. The key is guys like J-Roll, Victorino, Francisco & Ibanez are going to have to step up while he’s [...]

If I had to bat someone else third it would probably be Polanco, except he’s so good as a #2 hitter.

I’d agree with ya there Jay, I think 2013-2014 at the earliest, but I do have to disagree that he won’t be part of the phillies. With where there payroll is and where it is expected to stay they are gonna have to go young in the near future. Dbrown in right Singleton in left [...]

We really need to calm down and think for just a second here. Let’s all go back to 2009′s offseason. Do you remember how many people were screaming that Cole was soft, weak, never a top of the rotation pitcher, and we should trade him while we still can.. Okay now what did we learn [...]

I was at this game with a friend of mine. Rocking the standing room only in centerfield. I had to spend the whole game interrupting this guy and his daughter who kept talking about the no hitter… Isn’t that suppossed to be a rule everyone knows? When Halladay threw his perfect game a neighbor of [...]

true The Dipsy, but think about if you had a dime for everytime a guy has a career year in their walk year. I don’t think you can go year to year with Jimmy good year or bad year someone will give him a multi year deal just off of his defense and leadership. If [...]

Polly 7th against lefties? I don’t think i’d move him out of the the number 2 spot. I understand the argument that you can get Victorino’s speed higher, but Polanco is too good at helping guys go 1st to third of moving a runner from 2nd to 3rd. I’d keep him right where he is. [...]

That’s an interesting thought, but I don’t think I like the idea of utley batting 1st. If Polanco wasn’t such a great #2 hitter I’d think about swapping em and having Utley hit 2nd or 5th. I think on an average day and i’m assuming a right handed pitcher I think we’ll see: 1. Rollins [...]

My bad I thought you were saying 16 mil a year. We’re in the same ballpark then.
