I'm just keeping it in perspective for him....we can still get the players we need to win the division next year....namely a couple bats and some bullpen help. But it won't come from those two. They're going to be offered some huge contracts.
phillies sold out every game this season! i just looked it up, theyre actually at 120 consecutive sellouts. boston has like over 600. i didnt get to go to any though this year though . last game i went to pedro martinez was pitching. phils, flyers, and eagles are always sold out. the sixers cant give away tickets, but theyve been ass for so long. there last sellout was when iverson returned. i went to a 76ers game a few years ago, it was so boring we left at halftime. if they ever get a good team again, it feels like forever. that place will be packed too, but the other 3 teams are always packed no matter how shitty the team is.
they have more money to spend than any one (other than the yankees) and illich wants to win one before he dies hes going to put it all in this year trust me...
enjoy your dreams...i know iv givin you shit all year...buuuuut...the reds record in games where they have scored less then 3 runs issss sooooo bad...they win not win the pennant
They won't break the bank to get Crawford. They'll look at the second tier of free agents...Victor Martinez, Adam Dunn, Paul Konerko...add a bullpen guy or two and you have a division contending team.
I don't know what they see in Coke to put him in the rotation, though. I don't like it....
Buuut... I've been right all year about the reds Rex even from spring trianing when I said they would win 90 games and got laughed at. I do think the phillies will win so it is not crushing my dreams. However you need to look at something else. The reds have beat Roy O twice this year and are 1-1 vs Roy H. While sporting the best offense in the NL and a top defense. If anyone is going to beat the phillies it's the reds. The beauty of playoffs is you never know what will happen.
It's funny I have to defend my team to someone who was so wrong all year and to one who has a team that's not even in the playoffs.
George I think your phillies will return to the world series but i hope the reds pull it out somehow and if not I hope it goes to 5 games so you guys can win it at home.
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!
You guys beat Roy O, when he was on the Astros. You beat Halladay when we were missing Utley/Howard/Rollins, something like that and the bullpen was fucked up all year. Not to mention the 2 Roy's havent even been the best pitcher on the phils since the allstar break, its been Hamels hes pitching outstanding, back to 2008 MVP form. The Phillies closer and setup man both missed about a combined 3 months. Utley and Howard missed 2 months. Rollins has been in and out all year. and we didnt have Oswalt till the season was 3 quarters of the way over. with all the injuries, they still have the best record in baseball! and now everyone is healthy at the perfect time! GO PHILS! i think youre right, the reds have the best chance to beat the phils out of the other 2. if the reds do win, i'll root for them the rest of the way, fuck atlanta and sanfran. and youre right, i told you months ago the cards would win the division and the reds would be good in a year or 2 i was wrong, congrats and good luck. cant wait for wednsday!
The series in cincy we took two of three. Utley and Rollins were there. Utley got hurt that series sliding into second base. I'm not sure on Howard. The series in Philly the reds got swept on a 7-9, 0-1,0-1,3-4 scores. So it wasn't exactly a blowout and two of them were extra inning games Howard and Rollins were there utley was still out. It doesn't matter when Roy O pitched it just matters that we rocked him for 6 and 8 runs I believe and that was with no errors. If we are playing the injuries game. Rolen, Phillips, votto and Cabrera have missed big chunks of games as well as the reds not having valquez until late July and he is starting first game of playoffs. At the mid point in the season we lost two starting pitchers and still managed.
What all this means is nothing. Slate is wiped clean going into the playoffs because stats mean nothing.

Even that last series with the cubs here (a damn crucial one) had a good 60% attendance... TOPS!
especially with that ass-raping the Chargers give the Cards.... its nothing but a bunch of fucking fair-weather fans here in SD. Buncha tools
