2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (choking awful pos team, DIAF)

[Munson]

It's pretty sick to sit here and know that there was actually a minuscule possibility (instead of accepting that there's no chance) of a no-no and be pissed off at Myers for getting a hit.



God I love Roy Halladay. Homo. Very homo.

It's good to see that the batters have put an emphasis on working the count this season.

[Sgt PSN]

Wow....Doc beat that throw. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Wilson Valdez with the first XBH of the season! Excitement abounds!

[Eagles_Legendz]

Took 3 innings to remind me why I hate this offense so much.

[ice grillin you]

oh i remembered...and i mentally prepared myself all offseason for it so to hopefully not meltdown at all this year or at least much less frequently

difference this year is that they actually suck instead of having a stoked lineup and just being jerk offs

[MDS]

big question is what they do when they get people on...do they still play homer ball or do they play smart and go 1 run at a time

so far...ibanez still thinks its 2006

Having such a high powered and explosive offense the last 5 years has spoiled us.  People are saying that because the Phils don't have a top 2 or 3 offense that it means they must be bottom 3.  They look at the loss of Werth and Grit's injury and see doom and gloom.  I don't see it that way.  I see this offense still being top 10 worthy, which is all they need to be with this rotation. 

Most people look at the potential drop off in offense and think they're going to be terrible.  I think they'll still be above average.

PS...Luis Castillo would have dropped that pop up.

How awesome would this offense be with Brett Myers in the lineup? 

[MDS]

i want to start the ryan braun trade rumors now

[Sgt PSN]

Nice to see Romero dominating lhb. 

[MDS]

lol @ at pulling halladay so pete orr can pinch hit

and then he brings in jc romero and david herndon

NOT GOOD

[ice grillin you]

welcome to 2011....this is what you are gonna get all season...but today was even insult to injury because brett myers out pitched roy halladay

[ice grillin you]

lol @ at pulling halladay so pete orr can pinch hit

he was over a hundred pitches on opening day....he has to come out there

[Sgt PSN]

Wow....former Phils kicking their asses today.  Myers and Bourne.  And the bullpen does nothing to give anyone confidence in them at all.
