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

[ice grillin you]

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.

ha....thats such an on point call

[MDS]

still waiting for someone, anyone to explain why the dont win at pnc

not just now but historically. give me something. sleep on it and come back. if you just want to say they suck and bla bla theyre a bunch of bums anger anger i feel better now then okay. but im looking for some evidence and facts cause i dont have any.

[ice grillin you]

you just dont get it....no one cares why...all they care about is that this team this year is not going to win the world series...and it has nothing to do with winning in pittsburgh...

i guess the nats series means nothing as well since they always win there

this is how it goes both ways with you people....

pittsburgh always lose...there is nothing to see here

washington always win....there is nothing to see here

in your mind no matter what happens the phillies will always be ok

[MDS]

well if theyre not going to win then we can all stop investing time and do normal person things. good. see you later.

im not getting too high or low based or anything. its a long ass season. theres going to be times when they look like a AAA team. theres going to be times when they cant lose. such is a long season in baseball. right now its one of the bad stretches. instead of cutting my wrists like you want to, im just gonna tough it out and hope a homestand or something can change things.

again, i never said this was going to be a cakewalk of a season. it very may well come down to game 162. it may be over by sept 15. i have no idea. but no matter how tomorrow goes im still confident theyll find a way to win the nl east, mostly because the teams chasing them are small time.

[ice grillin you]

you are always high no matter what....which is why you kill people like j and me for saying even the smallest negative thing...its how the youngin phillie fans works...

[MDS]

J is very reactionary. if they are winning hes in love and if they are losing hes down.

you are non stop hate 24/7. weve already beat it into the ground why you hate this team (indie band going mainstream analogy) and you are what you are. i still get a kick out of it so dont like it aint be workin.

im stubborn with this. im confident in the nl east and even though the last 4 games have been terrible they are still up 2 and being chased by teams without fan bases and without a real interest or desire to win. so im cool.

[ice grillin you]

last 20+ have been bad.....but keep the sample size small that way it just feels like a series in pittsburgh which you can explain away with the magic 8 ball

[MDS]

may 28- season high 14 games over .500
june 4- 10 games over .500

since may 14 (friday night win @ atl) they are 9-12

they have the best record in the nl. they are 1 game back of cleveland for the best record in baseball.

season. over.

[ice grillin you]

i mean in the sense that they most likely arent winning the world series its over...on the other hand they might win the division...so season ON i suppose

[MDS]

on the other hand they might win the division

BOOM. i got what i wanted.

on one hand the greatest regular season team of the modern era (2001 mariners) didnt make it past the alcs. on the other hand a pathetic joke of a division winner (06 cardinals) won the world series.

thats why i dont predict that shtein because its just too god damn random. i mean the giants last year? who the farg was thinking that in june.

[Rome]

They literally cannot hit at all.    Pittsburgh's pitching staff is pretty good, though, but not good enough to completely silence them the way they have.

[Geowhizzer]

It's not hard to silence the mute.

[SunMo]

yup, nothing freaky about them playing at PNC

[MDS]

yup, nothing freaky about them playing at PNC

shut up

they just arent a world series team

[Rome]

I wouldn't go that far.  Their pitching is good enough to get them to the playoffs and from there anything can happen.  Eventually they're going to start hitting either by the current idiots heating up or hopefully by Smug Jr. getting help from elsewhere.
