2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (choking awful pos team, DIAF)

[ice grillin you]

didnt go...couldnt get a decent hotel in pittsburgh for under 150 a night....hotels in nyc are cheaper than in that shteinhole

[Don Ho]

One day I'm really glad I chose to go surfing over watching these ass wipes.  Lose 2 of 3 in DC, about to get swept in Pittsburgh, GO TEAM GO!

[ice grillin you]

prepare to be scolded don

[Don Ho]

Not to worry, last thing I did was check the score after the 2nd inning and the first thing I did was check it when I came in.  Saw it was 5-2 and Romero had just pitched, confirmed I made the right choice.

[ice grillin you]

no i mean the lil guy is about to bitch slap you for being too negative

[MDS]

i aint got nothing to say except you all should have penned in a 1/3 this weekend. they never play well at pnc and its well past the point of making any sense.

im not even mad about this, it just is unexplainable baseball stuff.

though not a shock to see don carry the momentum and take it up a level. you know what i mean mikey.

[ice grillin you]

and no shock to see you pass off the failings of this team to some freak weird billy beane phenomenon

all is well....they just dont play well in pittsburgh....

an inconvienant truth

[MDS]

it actually goes against saber stats. there is no explanation for why they cant win at pnc. saber people just point to endless numbers and never actually watch games.

they just dont win there and it just is. i cant explain it. its just one of those things you have to accept and chalk it up to baseball being a strange game.

and again need i remind you its june and they are 2 games up on florida. you talk gloom and doom 24/7 and im begging you to bet more than the pocket change 25 spot we have now. until you put up more cash on your hate, there is no piont in playing along to your drama games.

[ice grillin you]

no
saber people believe in numbers over reality
which is exactly what you are doing
honestly i think i now feel bad for you versus being angry
blind faith is one of the worst things any human can ever possess

[MDS]

there are no numbers to explain why they cant win there, so how is this a saber/ignorant old school back of the card debate?

i dont think its mental since that stuff is overblown but it definitely is something.

also nice sidestep around not upping the $. 25 is such a pointlessly low bet we might as well not even do it.

[ice grillin you]

ive told you many times....i have so much money on the division race its not even funny...ill take some world series money from you but you wont bite

[MDS]

yea why do you think im not going there

you claim to be rich but you cant spare 50 bucks to make it interesting. if i were a journalist id investigate this.

[ice grillin you]

rich people dont make ghetto bets with poor people on internet message boards....we already have our "fun" bet set...you wanna make another 20 dollar division bet then do it on one of your betting sites

[PhillyPhreak54]

I've finally figured it out.

Todd = Wheels

Todd always tosses blame on some weird happening or unexplainable occurence. Wheels always thinks everything is wacky or because PNC is a house of Phillie horrors or because it's such a hot night and wacky things happen when it's hot.

[MDS]

then tell me why they never win at pnc

the team sucks
its not a big park
its not an intimating setting
its not a west coast trip

explain
