07/08 Phillies Offseason Thread

[Geowhizzer]

Football is a contact sport that involves actual physical prowess to play. Baseball, in its current incarnation, is dominated by fatasses pumped full of 'lidocaine and B-12' with unusual hand-eye coordination. It doesn't even require athletic ability, just bulk and quick wrists. Sounds like bowling. Or masturbation.

I take it you've never been involved in a home-plate collision.

BTW, just looked it up.  37 days until pitchers and catchers report for the Phils.  My favorite time of year to live in Florida.

That is farging great news and just what I wanted to hear after seeing the Flyers get shut out by the Devils.

I can't wait for baseball.

Yeah, they're not much improved, but they made the playoffs last year and no one even thought they'd come close.

I have. I played baseball for several years. Played on several traveling teams and enjoyed the hell out of it. The very first day I played a contact sport I quit playing baseball and haven't played since. Unless you count beer-soaked softball games. Which was the way god intended baseball-ish games to be played. Since he clearly never intended its players to break a sweat.

(Please note how I didn't even respond to the fact that you used a home plate collision, which happens once every four or five games, to argue that baseball is somehow a contact sport. Didn't even mention a word about it. Not a word.)

Obviously you weren't a catcher.  Full-body contact?  Not every day.  Legs taken out for me?  Damn nearly every day, at least once.

One guy had to get braces because of my hard head.  Teach that jerk to try to truck me.

Matt Smith was DFA'ed, so the trade now boils down to Bobby Abreu and Cory Lidle for Jesus Sanchez and Carlos Monasterios.

Go team.

A DFA's Tommy John farger who couldn't throw a strike

A stupid dead farger who flew into some rich iceholes apartament

Who?

A guy whose last name sounds like a disease you get from banging whores in Tijuana.

Win, win.

I would say that it's January and there's no baseball in sight.

Pitchers & catchers report in six weeks, home boy.  Can we expect you down in Clearwater again in March, same as always?

PS: LOL.  Jay was drunk there.

[PhillyPhreak54]

 

Buzzin' a little bit yeah

[Rome]

Your unhinged rage at the Phillies ineptitude comes through loud and clear when you're loaded.



I dig it, personally, because I share it.

My buddy went on a cruise last week, and on that cruise was none other than Carlos Delgado. One night he was in the hot tub with another friend and Delgado got in with his kids...no one else around, just them...and he gets convinced its not actually Delgado and says nothing.

If there was ever a time to make fun of him, it was then. Or engage in butt sex.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Fascinating.

[ice grillin you]

Fascinating.

pretty much

[MDS]

I hope you all die. Terminal illnesses.

[ice grillin you]

if it  makes you feel better due to the racists loss today i will be dying of happiness tonight

[MDS]

Would you like me to then tell you what happened on episode 2 of the wire?

[ice grillin you]

i already heard that you saw ep 2...no need to continue on
