ayo lets go phillies get me a fukkin tastykake

lol thread title for the ages

whither Hamels' elbow!?

Hamels elbow is fine but honestly why do you think you're above trolling and then turn into a big baby when the citibank financial september swoon mets threads get trolled?

just sayin

real talk

I see, posting on the enemy thread is trolling. BETTER STICK TO YOUR HOME TEAM THEN

OH I FORGOT YOU'RE ABOVE BEING A REAL FAN, EH

Phillies fans are worse than Red Sox fans if Keith Law chats are any indication.

cubs fans are the worst

No way. Not even in the top 5.

haven't experienced red sox fans but in my experience cubs fans are obnoxious and cocky except obv they havent won anything since 1900 whatever

yankees and phillies fans are the worst in my experience.
followed by Canucks fans.

xpost

Which makes them a million times more charming automatically than Yankees fans or Red Sox fans or Phillies fans.

xpost

no way, cubs fans are just pessimistic homers like myself who won't believe anything will go our way until the final out in our favor in the last game of the world series. teams with worse fans: angels, dodgers, yankees, red sox, phillies, cards

My personal hatred for Angels fans rounds out my top 4. I guess I can concede that Cubs fans might be fifth.

What's so bad about Dodgers or Cards fans?

so basically popular teams and winning teams have the worst fans.

HMMMMMM.....

Naw Philadelphia and Boston and New York fans are the worst regardless of sport. Those towns are fill with jerks.

that's probably otm

Los Angeles would be up there too, but lack of a football team kind of humbles them IMO.

dodgers have no fans except asians and alyssa milano.

Probably more Brooklyn Dodger fans than LA Dodger fans even to this day.

i don't know abt that, when i went to a dodgers/angels interleague at the ravine ppl were rowdy and fun.

sports stadia are filled with jerks.

Yes, the annual NYC SABR meeting will not join the expansion era until the Brooklyn Dodger fans die.

"sports stadia are filled with jerks."

Some stadia are more filled than others.

and Shasta, how do you know Hamels' elbow is fine, you Phillie flack?

Noonan (Philly, PA): Hamels' elbow - serious cause for concern, or expected wear and tear after throwing so many innings last year? Or, both?

SportsNation Keith Law: (1:21 PM ET ) Both. Before last year I think you could comfortably have called him "injury-prone." I wonder if 2008 will end up being this outlier year for him where he was healthy and awesome for an entire season, but then reverted to his prior form of being hurt ... and awesome.

I have nothing to say about the phillies, but this thread title gave me a sudden strong hankering for some krimpets

so creamy so spongey nom nom nom

Phils rule out Hamels for opener:

awesome

Dave (my cube): Should I be concerned about the health of Cole Hamels?

SportsNation Keith Law: (1:17 PM ET ) Yes.

I can't wait until a Met gets injured so you can get all butthurt and throw a fantastic tantrum when I post something far less trolly on the mets thread.

Daaaamn, you sensitive.

I bet it won't be far less trolly.

far less trolly then yr "Mets shit the bed" prediction?

can we plz go back to being respectful adversaries, SS? I'm not happy with things as they are.

lol @ these brewers

Philadelphia Phillies' Raul Ibanez can't make the catch on an RBI-triple hit by San Diego Padres' Edgar V. Gonzalez in the third inning of a baseball game Sunday, April 19, 2009, in Philadelphia.

IT BEGINS

"Under a sliding Ibanez."

Tremendous effort on that solid triple.

jesus fucking christ

jamie moyer is on PTI rn, and i seriously thought it was some grizzled 60-year old 3rd base coach or something , until i noticed his name on the marquee.

first harry kalas, now danny ozark. RIP

All negroes look alike on FAX Saturday Baseball

lol srsly - the guy they originally showed was wearing a panama baseball jersey it appeared (?)

yeah, from the WBC.

I remember old Mayberry, and I thought he looked way different...

Raul's Nats/other teams split is amusing.

i have to admit Antonio Bastardo is a great name.

it is! sort of want to add him to my fantasy team for the name alone!

The Phillies' recent success can be traced to more consistent starting pitching, a string that began after right-hander Brett Myers was sidelined to likely season-ending hip surgery. In the 10 games since Myers' last start, Phillies starters are 8-0 with a 2.66 ERA, and in the last eight games, they're 6-0 with a 1.70 ERA.

A J.A. gonna crapp out on me

James put a new piece up yesterday called "Thirty-Three Rotations." I love the subtitle: "The 33 Greatest Starting Rotations of All-Time in Chronological Order, Apropos Nothing in Particular." The five most recent: '02 Braves, '01 Mariners, '01 A's, '97 Braves, '93 White Sox.

Domonic Brown bwoke his hand

Uh oh! Did he punch his children's grandfather in the face???

jkjk

Apparently he'll be back in like 3-6 weeks.

I'm so excited for new baseball btw -- I just got my MLB.tv package!

I am sorry about your loss in the election, @laurenboebert. Who knows what funny business was going on!?Anyhow, I know this must be a difficult time, and just keep in mind that you have someone right here to talk to (or whatever other kind of needs you may have right now). DM me?
