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

[mpmcgraw]

Werth won't be a Phillie after this current deal is up.  Not with Taylor & Brown burning up the Minor Leagues, he won't.

(Sorry PG)

The right move would be to trade Vic.

Werth is 100x the player Vic is and could ever be.

Trade Vic either this year or next year insert Taylor accordingly then have Ibanez sit in the corner in 11.

Is there a network whore at Fox who isn't sucking the devil's dick right now in hopes of securing a Yankees/Dodgers World Series?

No doubt.

LA vs. NY

Torre going back to da Bronx

Just like last year when they were begging for Boston/LA

[MDS]

no one in la gives a crap and no one outside of la gives a crap. old sports writers who still think theyre in brooklyn conger up old memories of the shot heard round the world and thats why you think the dodgers matter.

frankly its yanks.............cubs...sox........philsdodgersmetsgiants..everyone else

[BigEd76]

i thought they were starting games at 730

FOX is starting all weeknight games at 7:57, but TBS isn't

Supposedly the Dodgers draw farging shtein national ratings.  Worse ratings than we do outside of our market.

that's probably because other than manny, the dodgers don't have anyone on their roster that baseball fans want to watch.  who is going to be channel surfing, come across a dodgers game and say "oh! i can't wait to see russell martin's next ab."  

and since manny isn't any good without octomom drugs, the dodgers now have 0 players worth watching.

Franzke and LA on the radio during those last 2 innings

[MDS]

its not about players. except for bonds, who transcended the sport with the steroid stuff.

superstar basketball players and a handful of qbs are draws. thats really it. otherwise its teams. and baseball has 3 teams that can draw nationally. a handful of teams can draw big locally and can matter a little bit (phils being one of them), but on the whole a phillies/yanks ws would draw only slightly better than a yanks/rockies.

[mpmcgraw]

Disagree.

At least for this year.

If the Phillies are in it the repeat possibility will add a new dimension. 

[MDS]

possibly. perhaps "only slightly" is over doing it. but it wouldnt be a massive improvement over a no draw team like the rockies or dbacks.

but the lcs last year was wayyy under what the sox and indians did in 07 and under the angles/yanks lds in 06.

well see how tonight did, the game last night did pretty considering the timing.

[Sgt PSN]

how awful would a dodgers/angels ws be?  not so much the games themselves, but just for the tv scheduling/ratings.  they would either alienate the east coast by starting the games too late or alienate much of the west coast by starting the games in the middle of the work/school day.  

[MDS]

probably lower than last years all time low.

mlb is win-win with the nlcs but obviously need the yanks to win. its astronomical how much more popular they are than any team in baseball.

[Don Ho]

what a brutal at bat by tulo...the difference btwn the phils big guns in top 9 and him in bot 9 was super stark

I am so seriously happy not to hear that stupid Tulo chant anymore. Highly annoying.

There was a Rockies fan with his green hat on upside down that it seemed like every time they were doing that chant was in the background.  I seriously wanted to fly to Denver and punch that guy in the face.  

Oh my god.  That was more of a pisser than blowing the 2 run lead.  That one couple in the big George Costanza jackets and those ugly ass winter hats with the big flaps sitting in the front row were frightening.
