UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2006 Rollins hits #23, Marlins are dead. It would make me very happy that the Phillies have KO'd the Marlins and Astros from postseason contention with two sweeps, I sure hope they can finish Florida off today & tomorrow. Two clubs that broke the Phillies hearts the last time they got close to the WC. 1st and 3rd for Ryan Howard now after Chase and GO GO VICTORINO get on...better pitch to him, Girardi. Edit: Howard goes down swinging, damn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2006 Yeah these FOX broadcasters are awful. I've got the TV on and 1210 rockin'. Damn 1 second TV delay, though. Also: Joe Girardi's a jerk. Some friends and I will be attending tomorrow and Monday's games. We're contemplating bringing "PLEASE PITCH TO MY DADDY" signs. I'll be at Sunday's game as well. Keep an eye out for a guy in Section 303 wearing a Reading Phillies throwback jersey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vidro immediately motioned for assistance while running after the ball. Austin Kearns was taken out of the game as well. He was fairly upset in right field.

Slayer 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2006 Slayer's was just...weird. I don't know what that thing about Clemens "leaving a sore ass when he comes out" thing was about. I hate to explain jokes, but Gubment cheese was excess cheese given to welfare folk during the Reagan administration and tended to give people diarrhea. Clemens tended to leave franchises not unlike diarrhea... plus he was pretty good at fucking them in the ass. Cheech13's post was good at documenting this.

Mik 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2006 I'm not the least bit surprised that the Marlins flamed out, but this was a great season. Just tremendous. I can't wait until opening day next season and I truly, truly hope they use some of that excess money to sign Dontrelle to a long term deal. Sure - he can probably bring back a ton of prospects including the desperately needed CF prospect (Chris Young would be ideal) but he's more than just a pitcher. He's the face of the franchise and one of the most likeable players in all of baseball. It would just be a deadly, deadly mistake to trade him. Same goes for Cabrera but I don't think even Jeff Loria is dumb enough to get rid of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2006 What the fuck is wrong with Loria?!?? He's going to get rid of a manager who in his rookie year has a team everyone thought would be in last as a wild card spoiler longshot (they can't possibly win it, but even so) because Girardi had the gall to tell him to stop yelling at an ump in the middle of a game?!!!? That is seriously some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard. As far as Girardi becoming Yankees manger in "a perfect world..." I'd like to see him back on the staff, but I don't really think he's ready to manage a team like the Yankees with so many all-star players and oversized egos. Managing a bunch of kids is one thing, but I think the Yankee clubhouse might eat a guy who's basically a peer alive. And who knows what might happen between him and George. The Devil Rays need to fire whoever the fuck is managing their team now and go hard after Joe G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they're pretty committed to him, and I wanted to see a sabermetrics-friendly manager do well. Shame about the bad season.
