Hey how bout those PHILLIES - won four of their last five

[BOSSHOG]

Charging to the top of the NL East with J-RO Jimmy Rollins, Victorino, the Flying Hawaiian, what an awesome arm and Pat Elvis Burrell.

1. The Weather has been terrible here in Houston

The other night we had hail hit our windows so hard, I thought they all were going to break.... Yesterday a tree fell into my nephew's pool... Bad weather on the way again....


Yes and how about those cubs!!!!

[BOSSHOG]

3. And fox will have a new cop show about Post-Katrina New Orleans

can't wait.

[bluestateguy]

2. But what about the Yaaaaaaankees?

If the Yankees aren't in first place, that's a crisis for baseball. The entire sport must stop and ask what can the Yankees do to turn it around? How can the Yankees improve? Will Joe Torre get fired? When is Roger Clemens first start?

[BOSSHOG]

Don't they play in the minor leagues?

with that sissy designated hitter nonsense?

[november3rd]

4. sounds good to me

There probably still are tickets available.

[Beaverhausen]

5. What are the gas prices in your neighborhood? $3.45 here in Burbank, CA

[BOSSHOG]

7. $2.85 in southwest Mississippi

which is rather telling. Its as if oil companies collude to get the maximum they can out of people who live in certain geographic areas. Who would have thought that?

6. "Charging to the top of the NL East"

:rofl:

You know the teams with the four best records in baseball, right?

Boston Red Sox
Milwaukee Brewers
New York Mets
Atlanta Braves

What do two of those teams have in common with the Philadelphia Phillies?

:rofl:

[BOSSHOG]

9. The four best records in baseball? In Mid May?

[alcibiades_mystery]

15. Nevertheless

It is mid-May.

So it's just as senseless to say that the Phillies are charging to the top pf the NL East, isn't it?

Why bother saying anything about baseball in mid-May? You can't make a claim in mid May and then defend that claim by arguing that it's only mid May!

And the fact remains. In mid-May, two of the strongest teams in baseball are in the NL East, ahead of the Phillies.

So, good luck. But I'm sticking with the Mets.

:rofl:

[BOSSHOG]

17. Give Me a Break

I've been in therapy since after the 64 since.

[alcibiades_mystery]

20. I would expect that the therapy would be grueling

The Phillies being the losingest franchise in the recorded history of professional sports.

:-)

[BOSSHOG]

22. That similar to saying

the latest car company is the fastest growing car company.

[alcibiades_mystery]

23. Whatever gets you to sleep at night

:rofl:

[BOSSHOG]

24. I never sleep

I toss and turn all night wondering what Met fans are thinking of me.

[alcibiades_mystery]

25. Sounds tragic

Even more so because Met fans never think of you (or the Phillies) at all.

;-)

Good luck with the Brewers.

(Trust me...I live in PA...I've heard it all...you cannot come up with anything that would affect me in the least bit...Phils fans amuse me, at best...will be drinking at the bar tonight with some Phils fans and hope to see the Met game on one of the screens...at the very least, Phils fans are at least better than Bucs fans...)

[BOSSHOG]

26. And Mets Fans

are almost as good as Cardinal Fans. Almost. Mets fans never think of the Phillies, why that must be a alcibiades mystery. We do have the hero of the 69 world series broadcasting the AAA affiliate in New Orleans. His name escapes me. Centerfielder.

[alcibiades_mystery]

27. Like your team's strategy around September

Your posts are becoming increasingly incoherent.

[BOSSHOG]

28. You have a great point

I've failed to consider the audience. Its a very important aspect in communications.

[alcibiades_mystery]

29. I guess that's supposed to be witty

But you did it again.

I don't know why you're getting hostile. This is playful fan ribbing, right? Why so angry, 18-20?

[BOSSHOG]

30. I'm not familiar with the 18-20 reference

Please share.

[alcibiades_mystery]

31. That would be your record

I guess I should take account of my audience, too...

[rep the dems]

32. Better make that 19-20 'cause they beat the Brewers tonight! nt

[AndreaCG]

8. Good luck

They'll need it!

[bigscott]

10. C'mon Boss

we all know the Red Sox are gonna run away with it this year -

until August
or maybe July

June?
:silly:

[BuyingThyme]

11. What about the teams that lost? This is disgusting.

[jojo54]

12. So. Jersey Philly fan here!!!

Go Phillies! IMHO, it's about damn time Giles let the city have a decent team.

[dancingme]

14. Go Fighten Phils!

It's time for this team to finally win a championship!

[RB TexLa]

13. 5 and 5 against 7 and 3 over the last ten just doesn't quite cut it

[alcibiades_mystery]

18. Spladow!

:-)

[rep the dems]

33. Just don't be surprised if Wagner blows it for the entire team.

Wouldn't be the first time.

[taterguy]

16. All athletes are overpaid

Except for the ones that are underpaid

[BOSSHOG]

19. Exactly!

[taterguy]

21. It's as clear as a foggy mountain pass
