2006 Philles Season Thread

[JTrotter Fan]

Bonds is a jerkoff and a cheater.

Why MLB is allowing him anywhere near the field at this point is beyond me.  I suspect that they're afraid of the public outcry that would ensue from certain quarters if he was shown the door but rather than standing on principles, they'll simply sweep it under the rug and move on.

It really doesn't matter what you think because he's never failed a drug test.  So until he does...you really have no right to say he shouldn't be near the field.  Bonds is a scapegoat for every other steroid user.  And MLB just doesn't want him to break the all-time HR record.

Hamels allowed 2 hits and a run in the 1st inning.  Doomed....

Gordon read area newspapers after signing and determined that the Philadelphia media decided he was too old to take on closing full-time for the first time since 2001.

"I read, "If there's an if, Tom Gordon's the if on this team,' and every day I put on that uniform I take that on the field," Gordon said. "And I'm going to continue to do it because I feel like nobody has given me an opportunity because I'm 38.

"That should have been over once I signed. I know that I'm not Billy Wagner. God knows, I could never replace Billy Wagner. I respect Billy Wagner. But I also respect who I am and how I go about my business."

Gordon's venom ballooned when he attended a Phillies hot stove function in Reading on Jan. 26.

"This is what caught my attention," Gordon said. "That day, a little girl walked up to me and told me, "I don't want your autograph because I'm a Billy Wagner fan.' I can understand you being a Billy Wagner fan because I'm a Billy Wagner fan, but I think you've got to give me a chance to do what I can do."

Now that Gordon has been one of baseball's most dominant closers this season, he says he doesn't want any bandwagon jumpers.

"The first day I get here, all I hear is I'm 38," he said. "It was always something negative, never about anything good. Now, you want to talk about the good? Well, I don't want to talk about the good. If it ain't about this team winning, I don't want to discuss it."

"I've been called everything in this game," Gordon told the [New York] Daily News in February. "I've even heard 'n*****' a couple of times, too. Then, after that headline, I was in the city with my kids and this fan comes up to me and says, "You're worthless!' How would you like to be told that? In front of your kids! No player deserves that."

"If this team is a part of the '06 playoffs, then I think I've done my job," he said. "If not, I don't think I have. I learned a lot being with the Yankees. I learned a lot being with the Red Sox who were able to do it year after year. To come to places where they haven't won and to start setting goals, I think my entire goal for '06 is to be in the playoffs. I really don't want to talk about me."

what a whiney bitch

[BigEd76]

Cole is done for the day

7 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 10 K, 93 pitches (67 strikes)

[MDS]

uhhh bye bye Madson

[Sgt PSN]

I think it's kind of funny that when Wagner was here he was loved for the exact same reasons that he's now being bashed.  Last year's Phillies were a bunch of whiney bitches and Wags called them out on it. 

Maybe if they'd have won a few more games in April then they wouldn't have had to worry about it come September against the Astros. 

[SD_Eagle5]

Gordon and Wagner are both whiney bitches. Just shut up and pitch.

[PhillyPhanInDC]

Barry gets his first at bat...and not a single battery thrown....

ESPN sucks. This is the Barry Bonds show, just "Blah blah blah Barry Bonds, blah blah." And, "Yeah, I agree, Barry Bonds blah blah." But hey, at least I can finally watch a game down here.

[PhillyPhanInDC]

So far, Rollins with his fifth steal.

Rollins got walked, stole second. Utley grounded out, advancing Rollins to third.

Abreu singles to center, Rollins scores. 1-0 Bums.

Burrel steps up and goes yard on a bomb to center. Bums 3-0.

Howard strikes out, Rowand flies out.

Top of the second, Sweeney comes up and take Lieber yard into dead center. 3-1 Bums.

Two fly outs and a ground out.

[PhillyPhanInDC]

Bell with a stand up double.




.....and I am talking to myself....

[NGM]

I'm watching too.  Utley didn't advance JRoll he scored from second on Abreu's single. 

Have you noticed that little computer graphic on the pitchers mound DC?  I'm trying to figure out what the hell it says or means.

I'm pretty sure it says MOM with a heart replacing the O. Utley just got caught stealing to end the inning. Phils tearing shtein up right now, 5-1. Morris won't last much longer at this pace.

[Geowhizzer]

Phils are very hot again tonight.  Come on, Burrell, get me some fantasy baseball points!
