I hate Philly fans

More than any fans. Maybe New England passes them.

On the way into Clearwater they have a sign that says GO RAYS

and half a block down a sign that says GO PHILLIES

Listen

They don’t count as fans, they don’t even understand the sport.

They will injure their own team by chucking d cells at them.

I'm not sure if they are as dumb as ohio sports fan.

by putupyourDUKES on Oct 9, 2008 5:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Even worse than Manny Ramirez?

I’ve got a bias, but all I want to see in this post-season is the Dodgers losing.

Man Ram is the greatest non Ray in baseball?

I'd have to disagree with that.

Why?

He is the best post season hitter in baseball, and has “character”. Plus he dogged it in boston to get out off a team everyone hates that didn’t care about manny.

by putupyourDUKES on Oct 9, 2008 5:56 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

A man so full of himself even Boston fans couldn't love him anymore?

I don’t see “faking injuries and generally not giving a crap so a team’ll dump me” as a good thing.

Now, granted, I’m a Diamondbacks fan, so I’m also bitter that his asinine behavior meant that the damn Red Sox paid his salary to send him to Los Angeles, so now I get to listen to how Joe Torre is a genius for taking a $100 million payroll plus a free slugger and squeaking his way into the playoffs.

Oh

And I’d take Pujols over Manny any day of the week.

You couldn't trade for Pujols if you wanted too

Torre is a genius. The dodgers are the best team in the NL, and wouldn’t be without him.

by putupyourDUKES on Oct 9, 2008 6:08 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'm not saying I could trade for him

I’m just saying he’s a better player than Manny.

I’d say the Dodgers are the streakiest team in the NL.

or the team that got their two best players for the playoffs

They also figured out they should be playing Manny, Ethier, and Kemp over Pierre and Jones.

by rglass44 on Oct 9, 2008 6:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Trust me, they're streaky

The Dodgers can go into a funk and get swept as easily as they can get hot and sweep a team. Look at how they played during the season, even after Manny got there.

Manny and Furcal can’t change the fact that the Phillies averaged over 5 runs a game off the Dodgers pitchers this season.

3 hits from anyone other than Ethier and Ramirez tonight

Like I said, streaky.

Did anyone else notice the four managers left are all of the laid-back variety? Maddon, Torre, Francona, Manuel...

by walkoffwalk on Oct 9, 2008 6:04 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Lou was a good manager 20 years ago.

he can’t handle today’s game.

by putupyourDUKES on Oct 9, 2008 6:14 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

he panics and makes panic moves. and that reflects on the team. i don't think it's coincidence that he's lost 8 straight postseason games.

by walkoffwalk on Oct 9, 2008 6:18 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

the four managers left won't panic.

i just don't think it's public records. i don't think you can just walk up to a high school and ask for someone else's grades.

I was able

to buy 8 more tickets in a “Second Chance” sale that happened today at 4pm. I was able to get 4 more for game 1 and 4 more for game 2. Did anyone else get selected for this?
