Maik Maik!

be real

you have no idea who nick williams is or why its significant that in his 1st game hes in center

PhillyPhreak54 · August 04, 2015, 10:56:35 PM

I know exactly who he is - from Galveston btw - and what's it mean for Odouuuuble?

MDS · August 04, 2015, 11:05:32 PM

its positional depth. you have no idea if either guy is even a ML player.

sorry to burst your bubble but they arent winning the world series in 2016

How a team as horrible as this one was in the first half can go 13-3 afterward is beyond me.

Also - the Rollins/Ryno story was a great read.

smeags · August 05, 2015, 11:48:42 AM

signifigant change to the team brought some enthusiasm - in particular, ryno leaving.

You have to be their mommies and daddies now. Too many years of everyone gets a trophy upbringings for this generation of athletes.

Expecting grown men to play like professionals on the field and act the same way off of it really is too much to expect.

i hear you but that didnt seem to be the issue for the phils under sandberg. i just dont think he's a good manager. add that to a bad roster for a hof player to work with ?

its a nice lil run, with some guys that could possibly the future. still the worst team in baseball.

and of course, bacon.
