Todd, this farging MLB.TV!  Freezes just before Rollins' hit than it freezes again on the pitch before Vic's home run.  Mrs. ain't appreciating the f bombs.

basically brain dead is fine as long as he doesnt do something stupid in a big spot and hes been amazingly good at avoiding the stupid play at the inopportune time...which is pretty amazing since he makes a shteinload of mistakes and has been on a team thats played in big games pretty much thruout his tenure...maybe its a concentration thing where when the importance factor gets raised he bears down

if you are on the freebie thing then its probably server overload

every once in awhile ill get bumped off and sometimes the internet i steal acts up but generally it works ok. what they need to do is offer 1 package that gets you both tv and internet. cause right now the tv is handled through in demand and internet is mlb.

i only do the internet package cause im normally at work at night. otherwise the tv johnson is the way to go.

today went from needing nicole to avoid a sweep tomorrow to vance worley beating the king for a series win

I have the Premium package but I think the issue is I watch 90% of the games on my ipad.  My company laptop is just to slow.  Like you said it's only once or twice a game it freezes up but tonight was just pissing me off as I missed the 4th - 7th innings as I pulled a Dio with the errand run to Costco.  I was ready to snap in there.  Placed was packed, I'm trying to follow the game on my phone, my mom keeps calling to talk to my wife about Father's Day dinner menu.  Needless to say the Tequila is tasting mighty fine tonight.

amazing what you can do when you dont go into games thinking youre gonna lose. winners 1 havas 0

[ice grillin you]

i wish i could be like you when no matter what....a world series is a given and no matter happens you are still staring into the sunshine...

but thats just not me...im not in that younger generation of south jersey kids who are happy go lucky and are petitioning for a moon bounce to be installed on ashburn alley...

by all means tho continue on and hate on me and don and phreak and the real fans who still feel shtein down to their bones no matter what happens during the season

[MDS]

lol @ a moon bounce in ashburn.

look. i deal with these loser high school coaches. most of them are little bitches before games, oh we dont think were gonna win, well see what happens, theyre really good, its gonna be tough, who knows whatll happen, etc. on and on with the pre excuse making and trepidation. and guess what? they lose most of the time.

the ones who are like were gonna do our thing and theyre gonna have to stop it and were ready bring it, they win. cause they expect it.

if you sit there and start counting losses before they happen, guess what, you gonna lose. but if you step up and be like im gonna take on king and beat him, you just might come through. and thats how i roll. i aint scared of no king, no cardinal, rockie, red sox motherfarger.

i never said phils would win the title. i never will. right now sox are a better team. but i aint scared of them.

[ice grillin you]

ill be the first to admit that im the ultimate pessimist because of the era i grew up in....you dont share this with me....you have lived with for the most part positivity....but to me i still cant believe the phillies won in 08...much less that they are going to win a SECOND title this year...thats unfathomable to me...so i lean negative...but that doesnt change the fact that i think they will be upset in the playoffs because of their hitting and not because i believe in a destiny a fate or an aura

[Don Ho]

Hey they farging beat "The King", Worley did just fine, bullpen did a great job and pineapple head went off.  All is well. 

We have to be happy with a 6 game lead right now. 

Hudson going down is going to be devastating to Atlanta.  Just hope the Mets don't trade Reyes to a NL contender.

[MDS]

lol @ making playoff predictions now. enjoy the regular season and when we get to nlds we'll get to nlds. and if they lose there heads will roll. but that aint for 4 months so why even think on it.

and i grew up on the 90s phils, eagles and sixers. not a pretty sight. and i couldnt believe the phillies won, out of all the teams. the same squad that pimped chad ogea as a big FA signing and the same one that was trying to win a division title with robert person and david coggin the rotation.  im just not a little kid anymore and not afraid of losing or failure. ive done it enough to know it aint the end of the world. so farg it lets go get this bitch.

[ice grillin you]

you were like eight years old in the 90's and losses didnt effect you..you grew up with the eagles success the 01 sixers and the current phillies...you have no farging clue what happened before any of that...just like i cant pretend to know what 1964 was all about even tho my pops and my pa (RIP) both try/tried to tell me

btw what the hell is don talking about with hudson

[MDS]

who knows, hes prob 4 beers deep and already on whatever he takes each morning

oh but if theres something you really want to get nervous about its the all star game. thats seriously the biggest from here to game 1 nlds. NL has to win to move the extra world series game to philly. that essentially removes ortiz from the lineup for 4 games which is just massive.

[ice grillin you]

i dont disagree with that but i have a hard time thinking that a dh psoition for one game could cost the phillies the entire world series...

to me they either are going to get three win from their starters or they are not winning

and im sure don is talking about hanson not hudson

[Don Ho]

Sorry guys, meant Hanson.  Typing on an ipad sucks shtein.
