2009 Philadelphia Phillies - Season's Over, Time to Move On

[PhillyGirl]

The fact that I find myself agreeing with MDS again today makes me feel very icky and in dire need of a shower.

The fact that its a choice between IGY and MDS is even ickier.

the only thing people remember is dynastys.

noooooooooow youre getting it...two in a row wouldnt be a dynasty but back to back comes with huge historical significance and thats what i want for the fightins

historical significance? how about 2 in a row. in 30 years no one is going to remember anything about the 2 in a row unless the phils won on a walk off or come back from 3-0 or something. if its just 2 in row than thats it. no ones going to care that the first was against tampa. no ones going to care that the phils were a flawed team that caught some matchup breaks.

no one except for you.

you couldnt be more wrong...it would be HUGE...ive already seen the stat like 15 times on opponents broadcasts about the reds being the last nl team to do it

now if five years after the phils win another team goes back to back then it will of course be lessened but i dont anticipate that happening

if it makes you happy you can have the team that caught lighting in a bottle walked thru a terrible nl and beat some team called the devil rays in an anticlimatic clinching game that took two days to play to win the the lowest rated world series of all time then fine

ill take the first nl back to back champions in a generation

[MDS]

you misunderstood. im saying its back2back regardless of how the first one was won. they won last year. its over. it dont matter how it got done, it just got done.

if lidge gets yanked from the closer role i guarantee he wont complain...he will say i have stunk the joint up and i dont deserve to be the closer right now

btw say what you want about the phils...and i have...they are a flawed champion until proven otherwise...but whatever they are one thing they most definitely arent is weak...in fact they are one of the mentally toughest teams ive ever seen...last nite was a great gut check win...hung in just long enough to get filthy ass harden out of the game....then on the road in a nutso enviroment (is there a more sustained loudness in baseball than wrigley field...that place is insane) they could have easily packed it in after POS lidge gave up the run...and seeing bencisco get the gw hr was perfect as he officially became part of the "room"

What? It's loud all the time cause a good amount of people are yapping away and not paying attention, its a college party atmosphere in the bleachers. I've never been to a more calm and no trash talking stadium in my life. I had some fun exchanges with the people that were sitting near us, but most were there for the atmosphere. It is 100% not nutso, and I never ever felt worried or threatend the entire time.

its unbelievably loud...and it never stops...but sure thats from people chit chatting the whole game....not the people being on their feet half the game and going crazy

get the farg outta here

You mentioning showers, IGY & MDS in the same post isn't much better, PG.

That place is not going crazy the whole time, bottom line. Its loud like most stadiums, when the home team does something good. Its the loudest stadium I've been to with idle noise during the game. Its a party place, great atmosphere and a great stadium, thats about it.
