2006 Philles Season Thread

[Geowhizzer]

mets will get their 11-12 runs before this thing is all over

their lineup is scary good

Their lineup has nothing to do with their last 3 5 runs.  Shoddy defense is killing the Phils.

[ice grillin you]

the mets mix of speed and power is absolutely perfect

[Rome]

This team is sickening.

Absolutely wretched.

They have the bases loaded with 1 out and get nothing out that then they turn around and give up five runs in the next half-inning.

Ridiculous.

1. ryan madson implodes
2. ryan howard cant field if his life depended on it
3. chase utley good old costly errors. everyone of his errors lead to huge innings and come at the worst possible time.
4. david bell has no range
5. david bell sucks
6. fatsano is old and slow and doesnt think about someone like reyes trying to take an extra base
7. fultz doesnt bother covering home

what a pathetic inning. this team is awful to watch and to root for.

I turned the channel.  Some things are too much for one to have to ordeal.

Right now I'm watching Schilling-Santana pitching due.  Red Sox and Twins 0-0 in the top of the 6th.

[LBIggle]

hopefully they'll be 10 out by july so i can stop watching them.

What a farging debacle. I ordered MLB TV by the month for this very reason. No reason to pay to watch these games. I won't be renewing that subscribtion at the end of the month. farging bums.

[ice grillin you]

its impossible to win with the outfield corners they have on defense as it is...but whats really depressing is that their two young cornerstones of the future utley and howard are both atrocious in the field

[ice grillin you]

hopefully they'll be 10 out by july so i can stop watching them.

theres no question about that...have you seen their schedule for the rest of the month...i thought theyd be ten out right now

[Geowhizzer]

They won't fall that far out.  They'll stay close enough to prolong the torture and agony as long as possible.

[MDS]

Blow it up. Trade Burrell and Abreu. As much as I like Abreu, you just need a change. Victorino at the top of the order playing left or something, get corner outfielder in return or maybe a 3B so you can get rid of Bell. Also the catching position is a joke, Fatsano is going to play everyday. This is just awful, he may be the worst player in all of baseball.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Rollins with two homers, though.  That's the power we've needed from our leadoff hitter all year!2

[ice grillin you]

rollins has the same amount of homers as abreu...yet abreu refuses to move out of a power hole to bat leadoff

From PhillySucks.com. Every time I get burned by thinking the Phils may be heading somewhere, I make myself go back and read this. Especially the stuff in bold. farging, farging Bums.

Quit with that.

Pat Burrell just struck out looking for the second time tonight, with a runner on. Abreu K's before him, and finally Howard flies out. This team couldn't manufacture a run if their lives depended on it.

Send Burrell packing now. farging bum. I am so sick of watching his big dumb ass act all upset that the third strike was actually a ball, then sulking off to the dugout. Maddening.

Dump Abreu and Burrell, and get some solid prospects.
