2009 World Series: New York Yankees d. Philadelphia Phillies discussion thread

[K.C.]

Well, all that's left to stand against a full scale revival of the Evil Empire are the defending champs.

Revenge in the name of the Whiz Kids!!!!!

Just what I wanted. Gonna be pretty epic. Definitely what everyone wanted.

[KingGeno]

I love Joe Buck's excitement level on every call. ALWAYS THE SAME LEVEL OF EXXCELLENT EXCITEMENT.

/die

[K.C.]

I wanted this, too.

This is where we find out whether this lil' Phillies team is primed for a real dynasty or not. If it was the Angels, the Phils would still be disrespected nationally.

If they take down the Yankees, it will be undeniable at that point.

[Kevin]

You wished for it.. YOU GOT IT...


THE BIG BEAR WILL BE UNLEASHED GAME 1!!!!!

He made that Eli play in the SB sound like week 8 play.

[KingGeno]

I wonder what this year's "My exclusive review of 24 Redemption" will be. Joe Buck felt the need to share his thoughts about it every friggin' inning of every game last year.

THE BIG BEAR WILL BE UNLEASHED GAME 1!!!!!

Bah.. This is a diff year.

I'm shocked they didn't have a Hoagie Cart instead of a Champagne Cart for C.C. Shocked.

Diff year, let's see if the big guy can handle it.

Can't wait! Going to be a great series.

Hopefully al qaeda is paying attention and hits them both at the same time, its the only way the rest of the nation will be happy.

Most anti climatic series ever for those outside of philly and ny, both can die.

Hey, obviously the Yankees don't have a chance and are just glad to be in the Series. Congrats in advance to the twice-in-a-row world champion Philadelphia Phillies.

So are you saying this series is going to have some kind of national sentiment ?

It'll be big on the east coast and maybe pick up a few more viewers that want to see the Yankees lose but it'll probably have similar viewing numbers to the Mets/Yankees series.

It won't have any national anything.

This will be a great WS because it has the two best teams in the sport by a wide margine.

The only edge is give the Yankees with is they have Mariano Rivera and they don't.

Otherwise, this series is very evenly matched.

This should be great.

Heres a tip, when a Northeast team isnt in the World Series, thats when its usually a flop in the ratings. With very few team exceptions like the Cubs or Dodgers.

The country will watch it because its the World Series, and there are two amazing teams playing in it. The two best offensive teams in all of baseball actually. Not to mention 2 teams that have been around over 100 years each.

So the Phillies/Tampa series from last year, including eastern teams, which had a single digit rating of 8.4 ( the lowest ever ) proves your point ?

The rest of the country isn't as enthralled with this as you might think.

Baseball itself is falling off nationally and you think people in the rest of the country care about a 100 year tradition that isn't theirs ?

If anything, I think a lot of people will watch just to root for the Phills... because everyone hates the Yankees.

it isnt really forced, its Philly no one wants to root for that city.

[JimBeam]

Come on.. You're using TAMPA.... TAMPA as your example??

Yes Tampa.

A team that was the underdog and that plenty of people were rooting for because they weren't the elite.

And the Philies, the other half of TripleSkeet's " You Can't Miss This World Series Because They've Been Around For 100 years " were also in that series and meet all of his criteria.

Good team, east coast, big following, been around 100 years, etc ...

Yet the ratings share was still the worst.

I'm sure this series will have better numbers than last years, because as Furtherman said, many people will watch to see the Yankees lose.

I guess some more will watch to hope the Phillies lose if there's a hatred for them.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Ill be cheering for injuries, rain delays and natural disasters


not for terrorism


booo terrorism

I can't speak for Snoogans, but i think he was being sarcastic..


Some one called WFAN tody and said the Phillies are gunna sweep and win every game by at least 6 runs.

It couldve been any NL team vs. Tampa and wouldve gotten the same numbers. Nobody gave a fuck about that team....even the people FROM Tampa. Thats why you could walk up and buy World Series tickets at the window on gameday at their stadium.

But more importantly, why the fuck should I care what the hayseeds in middle America want to see anyway? I dont give a fuck if they wanna see Phillies Yankees or not. All I care about is me and my city, and this is exactly the matchup we wanted. When the ratings come out, well see how they did then.

you don't post here often do you?

I do, I just dont pay attention much. I do know he hates Philly because some Eagles fans hurt his feelings once.

[K.C.]

Yeah, because you Phillies fans are so humble.

i can't wait to kick the fucking pussies asses! fuck new york you snobby rich fuckers. your not buying this world series.

Phillies have pretty much the same team as last year, and got in.

Yankees didn't do crap last year, spend a billion dollars, and are there barely.

NY Yankee fans should shut your mouths. You haven't proven shit yet.

how are the Yankees "barely there"? they lost 2 playoff games and cruised to a division title, it was over in like August

[mikeyboy]

If the Yanks win this year, I want to finally get some credit for my "Curse of Mike Mussina" theory.

[Kevin]

Not to mention that the team that was 2nd in their division would have won every other div in baseball except the AL West, with 95 wins.

The Yankees would be far worse off without my support and dedication. George Steinbrenner even told me so today in his press release, which I'm positive he wrote himself.

[TripleSkeet]

But those are clearly role players.

Did Ibanez ever hit 30 home runs before? Its not like there were a ton of teams bidding on him. And we got Cliff Lee by trading prospects....and not one prospect the Blue Jays wanted for Halladay. Not exactly breaking the piggy bank to buy players.

[Furtherman]

As long as the Yanks feel that they will be given the Championship, rather than earn it, we're already ahead of them to win.

[hammersavage]

Yea but there were easily 12 or so games that Yankees could have lost during the regular season. Then they would have only been the wildcard

[Freitag]

Is Lee a FA in the off-season, or next season? If Lee is a FA, won't the Phillies pony up to try and keep him?

[brettmojo]

Remember that your team hasn't done shit yet. Let's see if they can hang with the big boys.

And I stress again: Your team hasn't done shit.
Yeah. The only won the American League.

But it's much more impressive to win a league where the lineups are only 8 hitters long I guess.

[TripleSkeet]

Is Lee a FA in the off-season, or next season? If Lee is a FA, won't the Phillies pony up to try and keep him?

Im not sure, but I never assume anything in this town.

[brettmojo]

Now don't get me wrong... To win the pennant back to back years is impressive as shit in this era of baseball. I ain't knocking the Frillies. But the Yankees after not making the playoffs last year, after going 0-8 against the Red Sox at the start of the season, after not having Arod for the first six weeks, after Nick Swisher being the best player on the team for the first month.... To dominate the last half of the year and walk into the playoffs and ontop of that end their Angels curse makes this a legit World Series team. It wasn't luck.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

the Yankee fans I know are under-estimating the Phillies

this Phillies team is the best team you will play this post season


the Angels hit 1 HR all series , plus their pitching is not (much) better than Philly

[K.C.]

Jimmy Rollins called it on Leno...Phils in five!

[KingGeno]

Jimmy Rollins called it on Leno...Phils in five!

He called Yankees-Phillies for the World Series back in Playboy. AND, A-Rod called both Rollins and Jeter "great leaders and hall-of-famers.". Must be true if a Deity of the Yankees says so.

Although, if they do win I want it for Game IV. I will be there!

[KingGeno]

Rivera bites back:

Rivera on Rollins' prediction Phils win WS: "That's not what's going to happen. What he says and what's going to happen is far from that."


Tomorrow can't come quick enough. I want this NOW!

[Kevin]

Jimmy Rollins called it on Leno...Phils in five!



That worked well for Benny Agbayani.

[Kevin]

Thats not the point.

The point is when your game 1 and 2 starters and your starting LF were not on the team last year, its not the same team from last year.

[K.C.]

Seth Everett did a nice job of breaking down this series on XM Home Plate.

If the Phils are up 2-1 after three, the Yanks are in huge trouble. They're almost guaranteed to throw Sabathia on three days rest in Game 4, which they have to win or it's over.

If he wins, and it goes to 2-2, it forces Girardi's hand as to whether to start Gaudin in a tied series with three to play, or throw Burnett and Pettitte on three days rest which is almost equally as questionable a move.

On the flip side, if the Yankees are up 2-1, they can sneak Gaudin in for Game 4, use Sabathia in Game 5 on full rest, Burnett in six on full rest, and Pettitte in seven, with Sabathia available out of the 'pen. It saves their rotation and puts them back at a competitive advantage.


Now if you look at the first three games:

1) Sabathia vs. Lee -- slight edge to the Yanks (Lee and Sabathia should match each other pretty well...likely a bullpen game, where you have to give the edge to the Yankees for being the home team and being able to use Rivera in a tie game in the 8th and 9th or 9th and 10th if it comes to that.

2) Burnett vs. Martinez -- slight edge to the Yanks (Burnett's a train wreck, but nobody knows what to expect out of Pedro...another bullpen game....give another slight edge to the Yanks because of Rivera).

3) Pettitte vs. Hamels -- slight edge to the Phils (most of the same advantage for the Yanks apply to the Phils in the middle portion of this series. It helps them to be able to walk it off late so they can burn Lidge in a close tie game).


So this comes down to the Phillies stealing one of the first two in Yankee stadium. If the Phils get one, they'll win in five or six.

If the Yanks hold serve in the first two, they could win the series anywhere from four to six games.

This series will not go seven.

Who said it was the same team as last season? Just the fact that Burrell is gone shows that. But you cant say signing Ibanez and trading for Lee is the same thing as going out and outbidding the rest of the league for Sabathia, Burnett and Texiera. Thats fucking retarded.

It is the same thing. It's two teams, working within the system they're allowed, to better their teams.

[Kevin]

She wanted to get to the World Series in the worst way.

A "desperate" Philadelphia Phillies fan was arrested for offering to exchange sex for tickets to see her beloved team play the Yankees, investigators said.

Cops say Susan Finkelstein, 43, posted a pleading ad on Craigslist saying she needed two tickets to baseball's biggest game.

Yea they are both working within the system they are allowed but its not the fucking same thing. Seriously, youre talking nonsense now. And I dont even give a fuck. They had to pay twice the money to get to the same spot the Phillies are.

[K.C.]

It is the same thing. It's two teams, working within the system they're allowed, to better their teams.

Who was the last homegrown player the Yankees lost because they couldn't afford to keep them or were outbid for his services?

Their business model is perfectly within the rules, but it certainly cheapens any accomplishment these teams have when you drop half a billion in contracts in one off-season, and never have to go through what literally every other team in baseball does in terms of keeping homegrown players.

Don't see how it does.

So you're saying if the Philles had the same money at their disposal as the Yankees do... They wouldn't use it?

[K.C.]

Don't see how it does.

So you're saying if the Philles had the same money at their disposal as the Yankees do... They wouldn't use it?


Of course they would.

And as a Phillies fan, I would acknowledge that it would be a little less special because of that, if they did that.

I think that's the point everyone is eventually trying to get around to.


I don't believe in a salary cap for baseball, and I don't believe the Yankees acting as they do is necessarily bad for baseball.


But the Yankees winning a championship just isn't as meaningful or impressive as most other teams winning a championship because of how they operate (again, I'm not even sure that's a bad thing). The economic reality is that no team can ever outdraw or outspend them, which means they'll never lose a player they develop internally if they want to keep the person, and they'll always be a bidder for the top free agents on the market year to year. It's such a large advantage that it's just not a surprise when they do well.


Part of what makes watching these Phillies teams so fun (and excruciatingly nerve-racking) is the very real threat that Ryan Howard, Cliff Lee, Jimmy Rollins, and Cole Hamels won't be here three years from now.

There's a finite shelf life for this core because of the economics. Every team, even Boston and the Mets, deals with that to a degree.

It's almost inconceivable that the Yankees will ever be in that position again. The only way that could ever come about is if the Steinbrenners sell down the road to someone who just sucks every dollar out of the operation they can.

Their fans are insufferable pricks.

Thank you.

Yankees = Class

Yankee Fans = No Class




My Gut Feeling is the Yanks in 6 , Pedro in Game 2 will haunt the Phags if they lose Game 1

[Kevin]

Michelle Obama and Jill Biden are going to be at the game today

[Tenbatsuzen]

I know the first and second ladies are going to be there... It's just I've never seen someone take pics of secret service agents... especially snipers - when they have a better vantage point then they do.

[disneyspy]

[K.C.]

Wow, Pedro just threw down with the New York media at his press conference...they're going to be riling up an angry mob for Game 2 tomorrow

[mikeyboy]

I wonder if this series will set some kind of record for number of fights in the stands.

[K.C.]

Jill Biden is a huge Phils fan by the way...hope she's rocking the colors tonight.

[Furtherman]

I wonder if this series will set some kind of record for number of fights in the stands.

That will happen Sunday.

Eagles vs. Giants at 1pm. Phillies vs. Yankees at 8:30pm. All in Philly.

I feel for the Philadelphia Police.

[Kevin]

Someone should remind Pedro that this isn't 99, Your stuff isnt good enough to be talking smack.

I'll have a big jug of riot juice for that day.

[K.C.]

Ok, I want a roll call....no fence straddlers....Team Philly or Team Bronx...declare your rooting interest.

I am naming our beloved GregoryJoseph the honorary captain of Team Philly tonight.

[Kevin]

Thats not a great idea...

You already have Hippos rooting for you.

[TheGameHHH]

Ryan Howard does have a Vader-like build.

[MIKEYDAKEN]

[Marc with a c]

what bothers me most about this is that me and kc are on the same side.

[Hottub]

C'mon C.C.
Get yourself in the zone!

[K.C.]

what bothers me most about this is that me and kc are on the same side.

:down:

[Snoogans]

i want them both to somehow lose the series. Overall i guess I want the yanks over Phillies, but for game one, I want the Phillies to win and pay off that +158 moneyline

[K.C.]

Not only should that be a mod quote, but I think that absolves those 700 level Eagles fans of any wrong doing.

[Kevin]

RAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUL

Nice swing on a 3-1 pitch.

[Snoogans]

Not only should that be a mod quote, but I think that absolves those 700 level Eagles fans of any wrong doing.

1 game and its for money. Trust me when I tell you that my money was also pulling for the stupid eagles in that monday night stink fest.

No matter what hatred I may have, if I can make some money, I dont give a fuck, ill worry about those later

[K.C.]

absolutely filthy stuff.

[mikeyboy]

what bothers me most about this is that me and kc are on the same side.

I have to be on the same side as both of you. How do you think I feel?

[TheGameHHH]

absolutely filthy stuff.

yea, Lee is pretty filthy. after he had that nasty season with Cleveland I thought he was just going to be a fluke, boy was i wrong on that one.

[K.C.]

I have to be on the same side as both of you. How do you think I feel?

overjoyed?

[Marc with a c]

I have to be on the same side as both of you. How do you think I feel?

[disneyspy]

[K.C.]

Love that short porch!!!

[IamFogHat]

Steerike.

[Marc with a c]

as soon as i got happy that ball was going out my stomach started to hurt once it realized i was happy about the phillies doing well.

[IamFogHat]

Talk about perfect strike.

[mikeyboy]

as soon as i got happy that ball was going out my stomach started to hurt once it realized i was happy about the phillies doing well.

It's all kinds of fucked up, huh?

[Snoogans]

im all fucked up to. Money makes me want the phillies tonight, and overall im rooting for the yankees. The whole world is fucked up

[Kevin]

Damon blows.

[GregoryJoseph]

So far so good...

[Ritalin]

Still seeing empty seats at Yankee Stadium. For the World Series.

That's some great fans there.

[IamFogHat]

You never, ever want to strike out looking. Jesus Christ Philly.

[K.C.]

Rollins is a god.

[Marc with a c]

[Snoogans]

Rollins is a god.

yea it takes a god to double off a guy who isnt moving

[K.C.]

yea it takes a god to double off a guy who isnt moving

He faked him out.

Matsui thought he let the ball fall in, that's why he stopped.



If Jeter had made that play, we'd get three straight innings of why he's the greatest shortstop ever and that was an 'all-time great' play.

[Kevin]

Do Matsui and Jorge even pay attention at the bases?

[Kevin]

He faked him out.

Matsui thought he let the ball fall in, that's why he stopped.

He faked no one out, YOU SAW THE UMP AT 2ND MAKE AN OUT CALL WHEN HE CAUGHT IT.

And it takes a GOD to be 0-3.

[Fatwreck86]

Ronnie B!!!

[Snoogans]

He faked no one out, YOU SAW THE UMP AT 2ND MAKE AN OUT CALL.

And it takes a GOD to be 0-3.

he triple deaked him and put it top shelf

[K.C.]

He faked no one out, YOU SAW THE UMP AT 2ND MAKE AN OUT CALL WHEN HE CAUGHT IT.

And it takes a GOD to be 0-3.

If Jeter made that play, you Yankee fans would be having the biggest circle jerk right now.

[Kevin]

If Jeter made that play, you Yankee fans would be having the biggest circle jerk right now.

No because we would know he faked no one out.

[weekapaugjz]

he triple deaked him and put it top shelf

i need to pay attention more to baseball. i had no idea charlie conway was in the majors.

[Kevin]

he triple deaked him and put it top shelf

Jimmy Ovichkin is awesome..

[Snoogans]

i need to pay attention more to baseball. i had no idea charlie conway was in the majors.

DISTRICT 5 FOR LIFE. FUCK THE DUCKS, THOSE CORPORATE SELL OUTS

[K.C.]

No because we would know he faked no one out.

Every time he goes to his right on a ground ball, we're reminded what a 'gamer' he is.....please....

[Snoogans]

Every time he goes to his right on a ground ball, we're reminded what a 'gamer' he is.....please....

you dont remember when jeter dove into the stands to catch that ball he caught in fair territory?

[K.C.]

Chase Utley is ALSO a god.

[Marc with a c]

smoked.

[Kevin]

Every time he goes to his right on a ground ball, we're reminded what a 'gamer' he is.....please....

By the announcers..

Can they just walk Utley.

[K.C.]

Listen to those Phillies fans applaud at Yankee Stadium!!!!!

[Hottub]

Dammit!

He was definitly in his groove for quite a while.

[Kevin]

Chase Utley is ALSO a god.

Is everyone in Philly a Hindu? or old Greek Mythology?

How many Gods can there be?

[K.C.]

Is everyone in Philly a Hindu? or old Greek Mythology?

How many Gods can there be?

Roman.

We throw Mets fans to the lions.

[Kevin]

Roman.

We throw Mets fans to the lions.

Would the Lions even bother?

[TripleSkeet]

Would the Lions even bother?

Ever seen a Mets fan? Just one could feed a whole pride for a week.

Ohhh....and...

"Chase Utley....you are the MAN!"

[Ritalin]

Shut Up!

[KnoxHarrington]

Am I allowed to go piss during this? Or has Big Stein padlocked my bathroom door during this?

[TripleSkeet]

This bitch is no Kate Smith. Stop stealing our shit New York!

[K.C.]

miss the Irish tenor

[epo]

Am I allowed to go piss during this? Or has Big Stein padlocked my bathroom door during this?

Seriously...this song needs to stop.

[Ritalin]

Seriously...this song needs to stop.

Whatdya hate America!

[TheGameHHH]

Chase Utley plays tummy sticks with Cliff Lee

[K.C.]

Seriously...this song needs to stop.

commie pinko atheist....go watch a Marx reading at your hippie coffee shop.

[KnoxHarrington]

Seriously...this song needs to stop.

I can't believe how many people want to make that dogshit song our national anthem too.

[mikeyboy]

Chase Utley plays tummy sticks with Cliff Lee

Eh, whatever works, works.

[Kevin]

miss the Irish tenor

He loves Jews.

[Kevin]

They shoulda hit Lee with a rake.

[epo]

I can't believe how many people want to make that dogshit song our national anthem too.

I would bet there is a high correlation between that belief and the viewers of the Jeff Dunham Show.

[TheGameHHH]

Eh, whatever works, works.

yep. can't argue with results

[K.C.]

He loves Jews.

Just not as neighbors.

[TheGameHHH]

who's this guy that keeps trying to impersonate Phil Hughes this postseason?

[Snoogans]

who's this guy that keeps trying to impersonate Phil Hughes this postseason?

maybe they told him he was starting

[Kevin]

maybe they told him he was starting

Fucking Jorge needs to give him a victoria secret catalog.

Jorge is a terrible catcher.

[Snoogans]

Fucking Jorge needs to give him a victoria secret catalog.

Jorge is a terrible catcher.

Jorge would get the mags in your ref. And it was Frederick's of Hollywood

[K.C.]

Fuck, Ibanez has left 800 on base tonight.

[Marc with a c]

are you posting from the future?

[K.C.]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!


Rauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuulll!!!!! I knew ya had it in you (even if that ball barely bled through the infield).

[Ritalin]

Whoo!

[Kevin]

Where the fuck was Cano playing, SS?

[TripleSkeet]

I love the fact you can hear the "Lets Go Phillies" chants on tv. Ahahahahaha

[GregoryJoseph]

PHILLIES PHEVER!!!

[K.C.]

Where the fuck was Cano playing, SS?

Looked almost like he was playing double play depth, which of course, makes no sense with two outs, and a dead-pull hitter up.

[RhinoinMN]

PHILLIES PHEVER!!!

Holy phuck!

[Marc with a c]

non chalantin' cliffy lee.

[K.C.]

That.....ruled!!!!

[Ritalin]

Now he's just showing off

[Marc with a c]

if he throws the ninth righty i'll be really impressed.

[Snoogans]

let him finish. dont even fuck around. let him go

[Kevin]

let him finish. dont even fuck around. let him go

Come, Lidge is the closer, he needs to be in.

[GregoryJoseph]

I'm so lucky I just became a Phillies fan a few weeks ago!!!

[NickyL0885]

Reluctantly, im rooting for the Phillies. Nothing would please me more then to see the Yankees lose.

[K.C.]

Gotta love Yankee fans with half the lower bowl empty.

Nothing like paying thousands for WS tickets and leaving early.

There have been empty seats all game. They supposedly sold out so a bunch of these fuckers didn't even show up.

[GregoryJoseph]

Phew!

Thank God!

We needed an insurance run there.

[epo]

I love that Giardi has to use another pitcher...

[Snoogans]

I love that Giardi has to use another pitcher...

when its 2-0 and you cant let it get away, using 5 guys instead of mo is just as effective

[KingGeno]

Shhh........ they are a varsity team. I imagine most of them have big league things to go do instead....like sniffing their own farts from champagne glasses.


C.C. just can't hang. Not surprised.

[K.C.]

Just about time to go get him....he's getting his pitches up now.

[Snoogans]

there was more people at Rutgers homecoming against Texas Southern. THIS IS THE WORLD SERIES

[KingGeno]

there was more people at Rutgers homecoming against Texas Southern. THIS IS THE WORLD SERIES

Well Snoogans, it goes to show that Yankees fans just aren't as dedicated as the Phillies fans this year. Kinda pathetic. You'd think a "varsity" team with such firepower would have that fan push for them to rally.

Guess not.

[K.C.]

there was more people at Rutgers homecoming against Texas Southern. THIS IS THE WORLD SERIES

You're not impressed by the display of Pride, Power, and Pinstripes from the fans???????

[epo]

A-Rod has been great tonight.

[NickyL0885]

I thought A-Rod was now Clutch-Rod? =p

[KnoxHarrington]

A-Rod has been great tonight.

Yeah, he's found his postseason form.

The Yankees totally shit the bed tonight. Jimmy Rollins' prediction of the Phillies in 5 sounds about right now.

[K.C.]

*yawn*

good game.

[Snoogans]

cash money


+158 moneyline, suckers

[TripleSkeet]

A win that dominant deserves as couple new sig pics.

Dont be surprised if Pedro throws another gem tomorrow night. And Burnett was the one pitcher I thought we would hit the best. It could get ugly. Oh well good game Yanks fans.

[hammersavage]

anyone wanna teach a jewish girl like me to strut?

http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/film/dancing460.jpg

[KingGeno]

Feels good. Gotta keep it rollin' for tomorrow. Can't wait!

[TripleSkeet]

cash money


+158 moneyline, suckers

You shouldve taken the 2-1 odds for the series too.

[Ponyboy]

A-Rod who??....Philly's in 6!!

[Furtherman]

At a work party in NYC... The streets are nice when quiet. WOO HOO... Taxi!

[KingGeno]

ESPN said it well. It was like Cliff Lee was pitching to children.

"Varsity" lolz.

[Snoogans]

You shouldve taken the 2-1 odds for the series too.

i dont think you will win the series

[KingGeno]

i dont think you will win the series

I don't think TripleSkeet will win either. I'll take that bet.

I will also bet that TripleSkeet isn't playing right now. I'll go double-down that he is at home posting in his boxers right now.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Lee could have pitched 4 more innings

Yanks middle Relief is too weak to keep the Phills off the board


the good news is that you should rape Pedro tomorrow

[TheMojoPin]

Way to represent the NL, Phillies. The Yanks are phucked.

[TripleSkeet]

I don't think TripleSkeet will win either. I'll take that bet.

I will also bet that TripleSkeet isn't playing right now. I'll go double-down that he is at home posting in his boxers right now.

Bocer BRIEFS. You lose. I take checks.

[TheMojoPin]

Cliff Lee is pimp:
