2009 Phillies Offseason Thread

[ice grillin you]

wouldnt have guaranteed anything but if it had happened for the last six months and all summer we would have that that incredible feeling inside of us that we had from spring to winter 04 with the eagles

[smeags]

so all this whining just because you don't have a warm and fuzzy feeling inside ? ok, that's extremely silly, but ok.

so what would you be saying if they resigned lee and never got halladay ?

oh and who cares about all summer long - like you said earlier its not about the regular season.

[ice grillin you]

one the best sports days of my life was going up to lehigh during TO's first camp....the buzz and excitement was indescribable that offseason...if you cant relate to that because its not during the season then i dont know what to say

i would feel absolutely no different right now with lee in and halladay out...i think halladay is a better pitcher of course but i dont think the phillies have any better chance to win the world series this year that they did going into the playoffs last year

where as if they had both...holy shtein it would be amazing right now

[smeags]

all that buzz in '04 and what was the end result ?

[ice grillin you]

i dont really know what youre saying

that you dont care about anything or feel any emotions or enjoy anything until your team wins it all

thats fine...but thats not me

[smeags]

theres a difference between feeling emotion during a season, good or bad, then the extreme you're going on & on about with 2010 phils. you're bascially on a anti-phillies brass jihad.

[ice grillin you]

actually im not...i applaud them greatly for expanding their spending...they are pretty much a model franchise and since moving into the ban k have hit a home run on everything they have done from building a ridiculous park to the post world series celebrations to honoring harry...they are almost perfect...i had them free of hate for years to come

but i cant ignore the lee halladay thing and the huge mistake they made there

[smeags]

we will see if it ends up being a mistake.

[MDS]

it was a mistake it just might or might not end up mattering

and one thing you have to know about igy is that while adorabale, he is also miserable and bitter and needs more hobbies.

[smeags]

oh i know, my hobby right now is picking on him. 

[LBIggle]

[MDS]

GRIT

[smeags]

how many days till opening day ?

[rjs246]

how the farg is he still pitching

GRIT

He is so old now that it's sort of intriguing. I find myself actively hoping that he makes the rotation and stays in the league until he's 50. Can you imagine if he pitched for 4 more seasons and averaged 11 wins. He'd have 300 and Hall of Fame voters everywhere would have exploding brain syndrome. Anyway, go Moyer you old shteinbag.
