I agree.

I hate the Phillies, and even more so, I hate Charlie Manuel. He’s a douche that screwed up the NL All Star team just to get Ryan Howard on there. So in essence I hate Ryan Howard.

Oh, I hate Philly.

I don't agree w/ all of your points.

But I agree w/ the overall theme.

These Rockies fans make it awfully hard to hate their team

Good fans, good writers, my limited exposure makes me crave more.

I really don't have anything negative to say about the Rockies.

I know a few years ago, the Rockies thought that they could “steal” Carl Crawford from the Rays, but that is pretty much that.

In the scenario where we pay 2/7 (which I can dig)

He’s set to make 9 and 12 = 21 so they would be kicking in 14 and taking the 9 on from Pat. You’re also looking at Pat pretty optimistically it looks like.
