PHILLIES BEAT THE SKANKEES, 3 - 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[BeachBaby]

SUCK IT, SKANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TK421]

1. Okay, what the hell did I miss here? Sorry BeachBaby, but I'm a little toasted right now

oh....HI!!!

[BeachBaby]

3. They had their first spring training game today, against NYY.

And they kicked their steroid-injected asses! wOOt!!!!!!!!

And HI to you, too!!!! :hi:

[TK421]

5. Repeat of last year, perhaps? Another showdown, perhaps?

Hamels seems to think he has a few new pitches under his belt, not to mention a new technique

[BeachBaby]

7. Halladay debuted today. A beautiful start.

:)

Hamels has a few new pitches, Howard has been slimming down and toning up, and Lidge appears to be getting his groove back.

If we make it to another World Series, I hope it's not with NYY. It would be nice to be up against a team that displays more character and good sportsmanship, and a lot less steroids and arrogance.

[flvegan]

2. As it should be.

[BeachBaby]

4. Yes! Yes! Yes!

Come-uppance is a beautiful thing. :)

[TZ]

6. Woohoo

Seems like Halladay pitched well.

[BeachBaby]

9. Yes he did, TZ!

And thanks for spelling his name correctly. I have to go fix my spelling now. I always get his and Matt Holliday's names confused. :P

[mix]

8. Damn.

So who do you hate more, Dallas or New York?

[BeachBaby]

10. Dallas.

It will ALWAYS be Dallas.

[mix]

11. For me, it's the Eagles.

Nice symmetry.

[BeachBaby]

12. LOL.

Fwiw, I'm no longer an Eagles fan - and I will continue to not be an Eagles fan, as long as Vick is a part of the team. I didn't watch a single game this past season.

[TZ]

13. Its likely Vick won't be an Eagle for long

Its also a possibility that McNabb won't be either....

[BeachBaby]

14. Get rid of Andy, too.....

and the removal of the trifecta of suck will be complete!

[mix]

18. Sorry to see Westbrook leave the East,

I guess. He was Dallas killer. He should be careful with those concussions.

[BeachBaby]

20. Brian Dawkins last year, Brian Westbrook this year.

Two devastating losses to the team - well, at least that's how the fans feel.

They tossed two dynamic players with team spirit and great character, and hired a dog killer. Awesome. :sarcasm:

[mix]

22. Sports teams will always be morally ambiguous, if not immoral, in their decisions.

Dallas and Philadelphia are good examples.

At least you care.

[BeachBaby]

26. All my life, I heard the Eagles club owners say.....

"We're a character team". What they were implying, is that they only contracted players with character. They didn't want to be known for any sort of corruption on their team.

Then they go and hire T.O. Epic disaster. I thought they learned their lesson. I thought wrong.

[TK421]

36. And to think, some fans drooled at the prospect of having Owens there

I sure as fuck didn't, and knew there were going to be problems with his monstrous ego

[mvd]

42. Westbrook is only 30

Losing him could be costly. This annoyed me almost as much as the Dawkins move. Eagles are just out of touch..

[BeachBaby]

44. Ayup.

I just about hit the roof when they dropped Dawkins. Couldn't believe it. And now Westbrook? One has to wonder what drugs they're on.

[TK421]

19. Vick, Reid, McNabb....they should leave, not many tears would be shed

[BeachBaby]

21. Amen that.

[mix]

24. McNabb, at least to an outsider, is a great QB.

He is another one who has consistently beat Dallas.

Why do Eagles' fans, or at least some, hate him so?

[BeachBaby]

29. Because, when it really matters.....

he, more often than not, chokes under pressure.

[TK421]

30. No...don't hate him at all. He just ran out of steam, and drive

not unusual in the least for anyone who has been around the block as many times as he has, or made as many playoff appearances with nothing to show for it at the end.

His accuracy has also diminished

[mix]

32. Honestly, you are lucky to have McNabb.

The dude is money.

[TK421]

33. Okay, he used to be money...I really don't think he is money right now n/t

[mix]

34. Dallas fans fear McNabb like few other QBs.

It is a rational fear.

He needs a running game, a solid O-Line and mature receivers.

He's normal.

[TK421]

35. The biggest problem I see is that he does NOT get the protection he needs

the receivers being young is not all that much of a concern, but let's face it..the guy throws too damn many interceptions. Interesting to hear Dallas fears him...

[Yavin4]

15. Ha!

Ah, it's good to be a champion!

[BeachBaby]

17. Amazing what steroids can do for a team.

:hide:

[TK421]

23. Just ask THIS slugger!!

[Yavin4]

25. Bitter Much?

I just love Yankee championships.

[BeachBaby]

27. Denial much?

I just love bandwagon fans. :rofl:

[Yavin4]

37. 27

This is the Yankees:



And this is the Phillies:

[BeachBaby]

40. I don't care about wins. I care about loyalty.

Skank stadium: Where the hell are all their loyal fans? Oh, wait.



Phillies stadium: overflowing attendance, much like religious zealots on Sunday.



Skank fans come and go, but Phillies fans are lifelong fans. 'nuff said.

[flvegan]

39. Aww...you hurt a Wankees fan's feelings.

:rofl:

[BeachBaby]

41. They can't handle the truth, can they?

;)

[Yavin4]

47. 27

27

[Yavin4]

48. Well, If You Call Seeing Your Favorite Team Win A Championship, Hurt Feelings

Well, then you can hurt my feelings all you want.

[TK421]

16. "I'm deaf from these steroids"

[NewJeffCT]

28. yawn

wake me when it matters.

[BeachBaby]

31. .......

:spank: :hi:

[NewJeffCT]

38. oh, thank you

may i have another?

[mvd]

43. Best was how well Halliday did

Was hoping Escalona did better, though, as our bullpen is a question mark.

If Hamels does better and Happ has another good year, 2010 could be special again.

[KamaAina]

45. And they take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven...

..oh never mind. :P

[name not needed]

46. I don't remember THIS GUY pitching for the Yankees
