Guest Felonies! Report post Posted October 3, 2006 What the hell is wrong with you. So you were the worst team in the National League. So your manager was a joke. So what if the last time your North Siders played October baseball, you had a collapse of epic proportions, and you had to watch your city's other team finally win last year? THAT'S NO REASON NOT TO WATCH THIS YEAR! Watch the big boys actually play the right way, and maybe if you're lucky, somebody will choke worse than you did. Now put the TV on. PUT IT ON!

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2006 For god sakes, the Eagles are only on once a week anyway! You can still catch your Terrell Owens updates during commercials! You can still catch ex-Phillies like Endy Chavez, Marlon Anderson, Placido Polanco and Bobby Abreu. And you know what really burns me, the pitch counts! I once pitched for 15 innings, walked 25 guys and struck out 15. And did I come out of the game? No! Because in my day, they paid you for nine innings and god damnit, you pitched for nine innings. Pitch counts?! PITCH COUNTS?! GAAARR!! Tommy Angry! Tommy SMASH!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Felonies! Report post Posted October 4, 2006 So you're sad because not even doctoring baseballs got you in the playoffs. Not even Todd Helton got you in the playoffs. Not even sucking up to God got you in the playoffs!! Well if you're not a Dodger fan, you're not getting into heaven OR the playoffs. Since you're all going to hell, you might as well enjoy the 2006 Postseason! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devo 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2006 So what if management is actively sabotaging your favorite team? Who cares if the number of people who personally witnessed Anibal Sanchez' no-hitter was roughly equal to the attendance at your average AA meeting? And what's the big deal if the manager who took what was basically a AAA team and made them serious playoff contenders was fired two days after the season ended? It's the playoffs, damn it. Time for you to enjoy the teams that aren't being constructed to lose and to push out of your mind the fact that Las Vegas will be the home for your ballclub two years from now. To the TV!

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2006 So what if you're general manager thought that Preston Wilson was the 'big bat' that would carry your offense through the season? Who cares if your manager was too busy grooming his moustache to notice that Brad Lidge's command and brain are both hopelessly lost? You really had Wandy Rodriguez as your third starter? Get over it! Morgan Ensberg and Jason Lane had batting averages roughly equivalent to the price of chicken by the pound? Quit crying, cowboy, because Jeff Kent might not be an Astro anymore, but he is a Dodger, and the Dodgers are in the postseason! So throw a steak on the grill, take your 10-gallon hat off your 2-gallon head and watch the postseason! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Styles 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2006 Stop feeling sorry for yourselves! Ok, so your string of nine straight losing seasons is one of the longest in the majors, hell even the Royals had a winning season more recently for god's sake! And so what if half your team is riddled in steroid controversies, your star player demands to be traded every offseason, your ace of the future turned into a fat, talentless drunk and Sammy Sosa suddenly lost 40 pounds and all his power when you traded for him? This is the postseason damnit! While you guys are out protesting that miserable asbestos lawyer of an owner, other team's fans are enjoying themselves this October. You know he's going to promise big changes and court the top free agents and just fall short of actually signing them, so relax. Save yourself the stress. Watch the playoffs, and see how completely impossible it will ever be to catch the Yankees in the division, ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jorge Gorgeous 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2006 Up until recently I'm not sure I knew your city existed. I'm told that I flew over Portland on a road trip to Seattle, once. Big deal. No baseball team doesn't mean no playoff baseball. You've spent enough time with spotted owls and beavers, its time to catch up on some Tigers and Cardinals. So zip up your fleece, and your mouth. Its time for the playoffs. If you skip work you might even be able to catch the first six innings of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingPK 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2006 What's wrong with you? So what if in just two years your front office pissed away all the goodwill it got after '04? The rest of the world is sick of the six months it usually takes to play a Red Sox-Yankees playoff series anyway. That Beckett trade worked out for everyone; the Marlins got some prospects, Beckett got paid and the fans in the Monster Seats got more chances at home run balls. You were willing to wait 86 years for a title, another 10+ years should be a piece of cake so shut up, paahk the caah and watch the postseason! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DMann2003 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2006 So your team strung you along this year to the point where you actually thought you might slide in there by some shear force of dumb luck. So your starting pitching consisted of 2 aces and a revolving door of new trades, fading stars and youngsters not quite ready. Homer Bailey will be here next season, I promise. And the bullpen was a black hole, even though your new general manager tried fixing it by making 700 different deals. You've still got Ryan Freel, maybe you'll still have Rich Aurillia. And look, there's Sean Casey with the Tigers, so turn on the TV watch the playoffs and root for da Mayor. Reds fans- shut up we're watching the Bengals WHO DEY!!!
