06/07 Phillies Offseason Thread

[Geowhizzer]

I've always wondered if I'm the only person who wasn't mad at Williams?  Well, beside Joe Carter.

Don't get me wrong, I was pissed, and probably a little pissed with hm but I never got 'death threat pissed' at him.  Mostly I was just pissed because the Phils lost the series.  But I've managed to let it go now and there's still people out there who have homocidal tendencies at the very mention of his name. 

Can't be mad at Williams for having a shot arm.  I was more mad at Fregosi for continuing to run him out there when he had nothing.

If my memory serves me correctly, I believe he wasn't even clocking 90mph during the Series.

I don't remember what speed he was throwing at.  I never even saw the final pitch until a few days later on ESPN.  I was reduced to listening to games 4, 5 and 6 on the radio in my room because I was grounded.

That was the year I graduated from college, got married and moved to Florida.

Figures after how many straight losing seasons, the Phillies finally win right after I move away from the area.

Yeah, but it's not like you've missed anything esle since then.  Just the normal debacle of an attempt to put a professional looking team out there.

I was 5. I only remember Kim Batiste's walk off hit in game of the nlcs.

I was a senior in HS and put my fist through a stucco wall - I have issues - and a scar.

I also remember jumping up and down my bed when Williams made the final out in the nlcs, and watching a replay highlight of Carter's homer right after he hit it. These are both shady memories, though. The only thing clear is Batiste. That makes me happy.

Do you remember PRISM at all?

First thing that I think of when I think of PRISM was the 86-87 Flyers playoffs.

PS...I was in college during the 93 WS and around ALL NYers who wanted to see the Phillies lose. I hate them still. I had to endure the farging Rangers win their first Cup in "800" years, the Giants win a SB and the Yankees turn into perennial WS winners.

I was 13, about to be 14 in a couple of days and was sitting on my couch in Texas. I threw the baseball I tossed around and practiced my pitches grips on through the bay window. I got in trouble.
