2007 Philadelphia Phillies Thread - DIVISION CHAMPS MOTHER fargER!!!!

[ice grillin you]

never hitting .300 or 50 homers again

ill easily do that but lets do 40-20 since for me to collect i have to wait until howard retires....whereas you win the second he reaches one of those numbers

[SunMo]

so if we're both still alive, and speaking to each other when Howard retires, and he never hits .300 or 50 homers, you get $40

if at the end of any season, he hits .300 or higher, or 50 home runs or more, i get $20?

done.

[ice grillin you]

good point...that doesnt work...im out

if you want to do $20 in three years if he doesnt do it and then 20 when he retires im in

[SunMo]

sounds good.

[ice grillin you]

so if we're both still alive, and speaking to each other when Howard hits .300 in his last season in the majors you get $40

[SunMo]

is that a question or statement?

[ice grillin you]

its a statement

but essentially you made the same bet that you just talked me out of doing (unless you feel that strongly about howard doing it in the next three seasons)

[BigEd76]

but its not like hes had seven good years in a row...hes only been in the league for a hot second...

So the 3.5 great years in the minors and 1.5 great years in the majors are a fluke?

[ice grillin you]

i never said fluke

adam dunn is nothing to be ashamed of

I was gonna post the same thing but I knew he'd counter with minor league pitching and smaller parks or some crap.

He's white.  Howard's black.  Are you calling Howard an Uncle Tom?  Racist.

[BigEd76]

Adam Dunn is a more frustrating LH version of Pat Burrell.

[ice grillin you]

adam dunn is a 40 homer 100 rbi 100 walk strikeout machine who hits for a low average

if howard does all that but hits for a better average then that wouldnt be such a bad thing

you really think hes a .315 50 homer 150 rbi guy

not gonna happen

hopefully hes better than dunn and becomes a juan gonzalez type...all im saying is he could be either

[Rome]

Right - he could be better.  He could be Babe Ruth but he's not.  Expecting better than 58/149/.314 is ridiculous on your part.

[PhillyPhanInDC]

Babe Ruth was white. What are you saying?

I don't know about .315, but I think he'll do 50 homers and 150 RBIs again. Hell, he might eventually hit .315 again, but doing it while hitting 50+ homers? Don't know about that one.
