ROFL!!!

Yeah my grandfather would be psyched if he were alive too. I call my grandmother in the nursing home once a week to talk Phillies with her. Most of the time she can't hear me though. It's pretty much a one way conversation.

Living in Philly area, that's all I get to hear and the local media becomes very bandwagonish around this time. As some of you know, Philly fans of all the sports are world famous for jumping on and off bandwagons.

But as a impartial observer, I must say the Phillies are playing some strong ball.


Hmmmm, perhaps I could hop on the Devil Rays bandwagon....

:biggrin:

Honestly through thick and thin all the PHilly fans I've know have always stuck by them.

I say the same thing about Mets and Yankee fans up here though.

I would give my pinky to be able to go to one of the World Series games in Philly though.

there is nothing bandwagonish about being perpetually pessimistic. that's how it is.

i will always be a fan but never overly optimistic.

Good luck, Phillies!

The way Tampa Bay is pounding the living snot out of Boston, Philly is going to have their hands full (assuming the Red Sox don't pull off some kind of miracle and win the series).

I'm still hoping the Sox win because it will be a North East series and I think Philly can beat them but I don't think they can beat the Rays.

Well shoot, come down, ride some MTB with us around here, we'll go get some Weyerbacher or Yings, whatever and you can go down to the ballpark and just tailgate and absorb the atmosphere..

When the Sox have been behind in playoff series in recent years, I always had that feeling that could come back (3-1 to Cleveland in 2007, 3-0 to NYY in 2004, 2-0 to Oakland in 2003). But they have been so completely outplayed this series that I don't see how it's possible this time. They are outmatched and their players are tanking.

But this is a Phillies thread. Go Phillies!

Done that a few times. Had my first beer at the old Vet Stadium when I was 10. My cousin lived a few blocks off south street till he moved a year ago.

I'm not sure Philadelphia is ready for a championship team again, what would they have to bitch about then?

Oh, Eagles and Flyers...

:biggrin:

WTF... I mean really... WTF @ last night?
WWSD?

what would stosh do?

really, he was in a no-win situation.

1 - don't play the game at all yesterday
2 - play it and hope the weather forecast will be wrong

so he chose #2, which most likely everyone else would have. w/ cold pissing rain coming down, he had two options:

1 - call the game after the 5th and give the Phillies the Series
2 - reschedule the game

do you really think #1 was a viable option?
