homers who loved rowand when he was here and wait for his first game on another team to rip him are worse than either of the people you just mentioned

Oh I love Rowand and wish he were still here, for sure.

But he wouldn't have helped yesterday. 6 runs at home is more than enough to be able to win a game vs. the farging Nats.

[Rome]

Exactly right.  Six runs SHOULD BE more than enough to beat a horseshtein team like the Nationals.  But, of course, it wasn't because the Phillies have a geriatric fossil for a closer who should be doing AARP commercials rather than pitching, as a closer, of all things, in the major leagues.

As for Rowand, I liked him on the team and still think it was a mistake not to re-sign him.  Not a huge mistake, obviously, because he wasn't worth near what he got paid by the Giants.  I don't fault them as much for that as I do for signing shteinbags like Adam Eaton which effectively prevented them from re-signing Rowand.

But that's a different kettle of fish anyway.

You knew things weren't going to go well when their closer started the game.

sidenote from the game yesterday


new bank rule in effect that you cannot go up to your seat until the current at bat ends...its so ridiculous...

this isnt hockey or basketball where stoppages occur all the time...at bats can take forever...also in the upper levels of a baseball stadium you dont have a concourse like in areans so what you get is the stairwells becoming unpassable and crowded while waiting for the at to end...and unless youre the first people waiting right by the usher you cant see the game...

furthermore baseball is a sport where people are constantly leaving their seats as opposed to arena sports where you for the most part leave at the end of a quarter or half...thus yesterday there were constantly back ups at the entrace to sections


also in the section next to us a 40 going on 70 year old crack head from kensington had to be carried out after puking herself silly and passing out...it was awesome

it was also the kid's favorite story from yesterday

[Rome]

They were doing that in spring training in Clearwater too.

Gay.

[PhillyGirl]

They've done that at a bunch of ballparks though, from what I remember. We had to wait at Yankee stadium when we went ot those games (one of my best friends in college had seats first row right behind 3rd base). We had to wait going to those seats.

[ice grillin you]

not saying they dont do it other places but ive personally never been to a baseball game where they made you wait and its the first time the phils have done it and its awful

[Wingspan]

It's common in the lower levels of most stadiums throughout the league.

I have never seen it in the upper levels, including yesterday, there must have been some rogue usher.

superawesome

How did you know she was a Kenso? Did she have summer teeth?

[ice grillin you]

yeah and as i said she looked 50 years older than she really was...kenzo is like porn...hard to fully describe but you def know it when you see it

[PhillyPhreak54]

1. They will miss Rowand and they should have signed him. The ownership is cheap and they used the injury thing as an excuse not to bring him back. He should have been kept and they should just up the goddamn payroll.

2. While bringing Rowand back they should have also invested in some farging bullpen help. WHy is it other teams will sign question marks like Guillermo Mota (roider) who can pitch, or a guy like Chris Resop (ATL) who throws straight gas and they are guys who have a shot to help. The Phillies sign fargbags like Jose Mesa, Sixto Fingers, Rudy Seanez, Francisco Rosario, etc....

3. Brett Myers will win 15.

4. I hate David Montgomery, Ruben Amaro and anyone in that front office.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

3. Brett Myers will win 15.

Let us know when he plans to get started.  Thanks.
