2010/11 Phillies Offseason Thread

[ice grillin you]

smug only works when you win championships

michael jordan could be smug and get away with it

george steinbrenner same

ruben amaro not so much...will he be smug when a disgrace of a bullpen or a tragic offense cost them a world series?

[MDS]

bullpen actually in decent shape if contreras' arm stays on his body

offense...yea. this could be bad.

[ice grillin you]

key word there is IF...hoping a 47 year old has a second consecutive big year is asking a lot...and thats just if he stays healthy

you also are counting on lidge again which is a huge stretch...when he goes down or implodes they are done

"The news in Philadelphia, they got their boy back, I guess," Werth said. "That's fine. I think that's good. I like that. If you're going to be the best, you've got to beat the best. They make their plays, and we're going to make ours."

MAI BUTT HURTZ!

lol

they are all in this year like its nothing

i actually have more confidence in lidge than choke and utley. while those 2 cant be replaced, if lidge blows up i get the feeling rube would make something happen for heath bell or something. after giving madson a long ass audition, of course.

Wow, he really does seem bitter there. Is it because Lee didn't sign in DC to play with him or because the Phils caked off Lee instead?

Yes, yes he will be. He doesn't know anything other than smug. He probably has that look on his face when he bangs his old lady.

Fair enough.....though I don't agree their offense is tragic.

i suppose everyone who had career down years last year will turn it around even tho they are a year older...but on paper they have the same lineup minus their best hitter

anyway i wasnt saying its def gonna be awful i was saying if it turns out that way will rube still be full of himself

[Munson]

enough with this "another year older" bullshtein....they're 31 and 32, not 37 and 38. The only one who's age is definitely going to effect him is Raul, and if he's any worse than he was last year, he won't be playing anyway. Jimmy you can say maybe, but for him it seems to be more about health then age.

[Drunkmasterflex]

They did have a lot of guys with down years, are they all going to turn it around? I doubt it, but like I said before even if they are marginally better with the starting pitching they have on paper they should be very good.

Cliff Lee gets it

I think the ‑ how do you put it ‑ intensity that you can feel when you get in the game.  You can feel the volume.  Every game has got an elevated feel to it compared to everywhere else.  It's completely different.  I don't know what the fans do to create that much more volume and excitement in the stadium, but it's definitely something extra here.  I don't know what it is, but it's something they're doing.

They get excited.  They're passionate fans.  They understand what's going on.  They don't need a teleprompter to tell them to get up and cheer, to do that.  No, it's exciting.  It's an historic town.  I didn't realize until I got here how interesting the city is.  My family really liked it.  I mean, that played a big part in it
