2010/11 Phillies Offseason Thread

king adressing his halladay hate right now

[PhillyPhreak54]

im not one for banning media members from games but would anyone really care if the phillies didnt let eskin in anymore? he obviously has an agenda and its obviously coming from banner inc/his desperate grab for ratings.

I think that is why he has beef in the first place, because they shunned his old man down at ST one year.

What is he saying about his Halladay hate?

[ice grillin you]

just saying how he disagrees with halladay about how he doesnt talk to the media

that is was shameful of halladay not to speak to the media the day after his no hitter..and that theres a double standard with the phillies and eagles...that its not fair that people kill andy reid for giving a presser and saying nothing but give halladay utley and other phillies a pass for rarely ever talking to the media

[SunMo]

you can almost see banner pulling the strings on his puppet

[ice grillin you]

in general i agree with what hes saying...but you cant make specific comparisons btwn the two sports because the rules are so different...if football didnt force people to talk then there would be a lot more eagles like grit and halladay

And his double standard is exactly the opposite, because he goes after Halladay for being unapproachable but defends Reid for playing it close to the vest.  Also, he of course fails to mention that Cholly gives entertaining pressers and many PLAYERS on the Eagles aren't exactly personality plus.  But hey, I don't expect a silly thing like facts or anything resembling an actually-appropriate analogy/comparison to enter into Howard's airwaves.

i wouldnt say he defends reid...ive heard him criticize andy many times for not giving out silly non important info at his pressers...but he certainly doesnt go at him like he is halladay or like he would anyone involved with the phillies...shtein him and chuckles almost came to blows a couple years ago

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I like Manuel in that fight, with one hand tied behind his back.

i hate when media members whine and cry about players not talking

you dont play that game out in the open, it doesnt accomplish anything. something came up this year with one of the football teams i cover and the coach blew me off for a week until the coast was clear. behind the scenes i called him a bitch and immature little girl for being afraid to simply say no comment and instead run away from a 23 year old jewish kid

but im not gonna blog or rant and about it. first off its unprofessional. second off i have a relationship i need to protect and killing him over something that should be hashed out behind closed doors or just simply ignoring the situation like nothing happened is what you do. if he wants to be a 2 year old about, fine. me saying that he didnt want to talk told everybody what they needed to know.

howard is an egomaniac who is trying to make everything about himself. this is what this story is about. his ratings suck and hes eating up the hate.

I used to try to listen to Eskin.  It was difficult but I still listened occasionally.

Now I don't even bother.   He's absolutely awful.

Howard is absolutely desperate for any kind of buzz, it's pretty sad actually.

everything about this slideshow is horrible.

that's an understatement

[phattymatty]

The Big Truck should dominate this year. For sure.

I like how they have Baez ranked ahead of Lidge
