Bingo.

By the way, it was figured out that the post oc ergo propter hoc type of thinking was a logical fallacy 5,000 years ago Romey and other random idiot dude. 

Get with the times man.

actually, they were decent teams and were in the playoff race in september almost every year between 2000-2006.  they weren't world series caliber teams but they were playoff caliber.....or at least they would/could have been if the so called "leaders" of the team were a bunch of bitch made mental midget hoydas.

Yea I'm pretty sure that's not it.

Those teams weren't good. In 03 rheal cormier was the best reliever. In 05 they had a mediocre at best rotation.

Blaming their shortcomings on abreu not being your definition of a leader is silly

[PhillyPhreak54]

I never understood the massive amounts of Abreu hate either. I was and still am a Bobby A fan. He needed to go and Giillick got robbed in the deal, but it was a money dump and ol' Pat certainly made up for that trade.

[Sgt PSN]

don't get me wrong, i was/still am a bobby a fan too.  but he didn't bring much to the table outside of his bat.  abreu wasn't "the" problem but he definitely wasn't part of the solution either.  he fits in much better with a team like the yanks or angels because no one is looking to him for anything other than to get on base and drive in runs. 

[MDS]

but on the phillies he was the king.

yes, the soft spoken broken english speaking rightfielder was the one true leader.

[Rome]

lol at the seamhead dropping latin on me.

please.

get through four years of college first then get back to me, jackie.

NY Times: we need a Yankees/Dodgers World Series

what Major League Baseball needs is a great World Series, a Series for the ages. And with all due respect to those two other potential matchups, it's a Yankees-Dodgers World Series that could take the game back to its roots at a time when baseball desperately needs to recover a portion of the trust, if not the innocence, that it has lost in the steroid era.

yup....a series between A-Rod and Manny will restore our trust

[ice grillin you]

the really unfair thing that will come out of a dodgers yanks ws is that 20 years from now the phils rays postponed clinching game series will not get the credit it deserved for saving the sport

Nice try, Bill Rhoden.

But the innocence will never be recaptured. Not in the days of the exorbitant ticket prices in Yankee Stadium or the steroids questions hanging over the game like a fog.

Here's to a Nationals/Royals series!

This is still only the very beginning of the artificial enhancement era.

what's next, players getting boob jobs?  that sounds kind of hot actually.

[QB Eagles]

Some of the Mets could use labiaplasty.

Playoff baseball comes through again!

Angels take the lead in extra's; ARod ties it up with a cheapie to RF.

3-3 in the 11th with the rain coming down
