This Is Gonna Suck: 2016 Phillies Season Thread

[PhillyPhreak54]

Now that I'm home

we had great seats in 120. It was my sisters first game and she had a good time. There was a nice crowd overall - originally i didn't think it would fill out but there was a ton of walk up biz. The will call lines were super long.

Chase got three standing ovations and it was awesome. I called his slam and Chokes bomb. Vinnie def needs to be a closer.

When we left we needed to get to 30th St...cabbie wanted $40 lol a hack cab was behind him so we rolled with him. He was an Uber dude pulling fares under the table. $15...which is what the cab ride should've been.

Yes, V V  needs to get the hell out of the starting rotation.

[Don Ho]

I've been a fan of this team longer than most of you have been on this earth.  What I saw today was pretty damn awesome and definitely a highlight for me.  Very classy act by the fans in their show of respect towards Grit.  You done good J!

[Rome]

Ditto.  The standing O's after the home runs were amazing.  I never thought I'd see a curtain call from a visiting player in Philly.

Chase is the man.

the first at bat thing was great.....the standing o's for a visiting player were disgraceful...then again GRIT

I remember when Barkley came back to Philly in a Suns uniform. The crowd cheered every time he scored, some kid in a Suns Starter jacket and hat came running on the court to pat him on the back when he was shooting a free throw.

I would have given Utley a standing O. The guy played his heart out for the city and the Phils are irrelevant.

I didn't mean the standing o.....that was awesome...I meant cheering for an opponent during the game...once the first pitch is thrown then settle the farg down....this isn't st louis

[SD]

I would have cheered his HRs. The Phillies are irrelevant right now so who cares at this point. There are certain players who transcend (Iverson, Dawkins, Utley etc.) above a losing team as far as cheering goes. If the Phillies were in 1st place or were actual WC contenders then yeah I'd agree cheering for him hitting a HR would be disgraceful.

[ice grillin you]

no one loves iverson or in the case of baseball jimmy more than me...but no farging way im cheering an iverson basket while hes in a nugget jersey or a jimmy triple in a white sox uniform...i couldnt do it if it wasnt against the phillies/sixers but against a philly team...i just dont get that...are you saying if an eagle quarterback threw an interception to dawkins you would actually stand up and cheer?

[Rome]

You're cheering the man, not the laundry. 

[ice grillin you]

i dont even cheer for the phillies much less their players....i cheer for philadelphia and farg if im going to ever cheer for an opponent against one of my teams...but different strokes

[Rome]

That's nice. 

[ice grillin you]

jo jo at the phils game looking eminently hittable

[MDS]

what is the rotation going to be at this point in 18?

they need to lose games and lose games now, then draft the best arm available next june

[ice grillin you]

pretty sure at one point you had them winning the ws in 18 didn't you
