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

[MDS]

go and read the comments on philly.com after a game

then youll be happy youre hanging with me

The whining is bad enough.  They do this shtein every game.  The PLAY BY PLAY announcer doesn't even announce the game.  He just rambles on and on about whatever random topic the fans send by e-mail or Twitter or text.

It's like it's a mock broadcast for students to hear everything not to do during a real broadcast.

Marlins management needs to order this Marlins network to stop showing wide angle shots of the stands.  3/4 empty ball parks can't do much to generate fan interest.

AND am not a phillie homer

Why the farg aren't you a homer?  They're your team, stupid.

Jesus...

because thats not what being a fan is about...it clouds your judgement on pretty much everything having to do with sports and makes people look stupid...even if they are a philly fan the minute i recognize someone in a bar as a homer i immediately start ignoring them...its why i limit my time in this thread compared to past years as its pretty much insufferable now

this marlins thing is a perfect example...paco lil guy and don have no idea who the marlin announcers are but because of their phillie homerism they think that these guys are the devil when in reality they are at best middle of the pack in mlb as far as homers go

You're a contrarian.  That's what you do.  If someone posts something you'll post a contrasting comment to spur debate.  That's fine and that's why we love you.  No homo.

contrarian would be to say the marlins announcers are great and as non homerish as you can get....which isnt what im saying at all

[PhillyGirl]

everybody hits woohoo?

[Rome]

Saying anything other than the absolute empirical truth is being contrarian.

The unequivocal truth is they farging suck.  They're awful beyond any comparison, dude.

PS: 5-0.  Come on Cole.  Bury these cockaroaches.

Ryan Braun went to the U?

[Don Ho]

OK, that's it.  I would rather have Wheels recite the Declaration of Independence than listen to these clowns read emails over the air.

[ice grillin you]

but they just read an email from "the city of philadelphia" asking "can you pitch volstad everynight"

which was hilarious

but jesus such homers reading emails that mock their own guys

[Rome]

All heck just broke loose.

HECK.
