2008 Phillies Spring Training Thread

[ice grillin you]

if thats all true and i dont believe it is then it doesnt forecast a rosey year or future for myers....this guy is so out of his mind that he cant simply be told that he isnt going to the bullpen this year but instead has to be named opening day starter to show him...a move that negatively impacts the team....i dont know whos more of a joke the management or myers

because myers is so weak and stupid the best pitcher on the team by far  has to be demoted...cant wait for that first mets series when moyer and adam eaton have to pitch and myers has to go against santana in the finale...fun stuff

According to Mets fans, the Phillies should just throw a position player out to the mound or simply forfeit when facing Santana.

some phillies fans too...

In other words, "concede" the loss on the first game and give yourself a better chance to win games 2 and 3.

But the Phillies aren't playing the Mets on opening day.

Oh, THOSE Mets.  Gotcha.

so the igy 'sky is falling' routine has started again?

[Wingspan]

unless my math is wrong and someone correct me if it is then king will miss the mets series because of this

its so comforting to know that the teams ace will completely miss the first series against the arch rival that they will be battling for the division title this year because the manager is a bumbling idiot

Your math is right if you count 5 games (which Manuel usually doesn't skip starts on off days). But he would miss the mets series anyway if he started game 1.


In fact even if manuel skipped a spot on the off day after the opener, hamels still doesnt face the mets that first series. He would have to be the #3 guy.

On the same note...if the mets run Santana on the opener, then he misses the phils series.

If you want Hamels to face the mets, you hold him out until game 3

[MDS]

[ice grillin you]

someone take my bet...shteins and giggles...something a little extra to follow during the year...i know theres a homer out there that wants it...squeeze me

[Rome]

His career high in wins is 14, IGY.  Are you seriously suggesting that someone bet you he'll have a career year in terms of wins?  If so, well, that's quite a brave stance you're making there, homeslice.
