06/07 Phillies Offseason Thread

I can't make enemies in the industry until I get settled. Perhaps by pretending to be educated, talented and informed, I can make myself a valuable connection. Of course, if I ever get settled, it will take less than 1 milisecond for me to point out the very douchey in the philly sports media scene.

Ask him why he was removed from the Eagles beat.

I'll give you an O'Douls and a soft pretzel as a reward.

I called out Eckel to his face. It was fun.

[SunMo]

were you in a boom lift?

[PhillyGirl]

he's a midget too

[troyhstewart]

good signing of Moyer, he's still a quality pitcher. With him and Leiber being short time solutions, the Phillies have some time to develop some pitching within their system.

If I'm going to be an icehole and call out Hayes, I need something to say to him. Like I just can't say, you suck. Then I look like a moron. If I'm passing him on the street, yea. But not in this situation. Plus this isn't Q & A session about the Phillies, although a baseball nerd such as myself can't help but bring up the sport.

How can anyone even be sure he has a face behind that shrub of a beard?

Eckel has a beard?

13 years ago today (23 Oct) Joe Carter ripped out hearts out.

Thanks, Mitch!

I think it was more than being gassed.  His arm was shot.  He never managed more than 20 innings or lower than a 6.75 ERA in his last three seasons after 1993.  His only weapon was his 95+ fastball, and that never came back.

Fregosi's blind dedication to his players created a great atmosphere that year, but it shot them in the foot during the World Series.  Mitch was done.

I've always wondered if I'm the only person who wasn't mad at Williams?  Well, beside Joe Carter.

Don't get me wrong, I was pissed, and probably a little pissed with hm but I never got 'death threat pissed' at him.  Mostly I was just pissed because the Phils lost the series.  But I've managed to let it go now and there's still people out there who have homocidal tendencies at the very mention of his name.

nope, in fact i remember going to the first home astro's game in the vet during the part of 1994 that they actually played in...and williams was pitching for them, when he got called to come in in the 9th for houston, he got a standing ovation that night.
