Phillies Offseason Thread 12-13

[SunMo]

holy shtein, we get it.  you think they will suck.  shut the farg up about it

[MDS]

LETS GO TEAM!

[SunMo]

no, it's not that at all.  you bring nothing to the table other than talking about their roster and faux shock about how much they will suck.  yeah, it's a clever shtick.  maybe mix it up once in awhile.

[MDS]

not a schitck, its the truth. i dont have an act...this is a weirdo internet message board with 3 people

i tell it like it is and this team stinks. i cant do anything if you dont like the truth. but i still love you, sort of.

[SunMo]

i haven't commented if i agree or not.  i could agree with you 100% and i would still be sick of you posting the same shtein every day.

C'mon Todd.  Weird but loveable.

[Don Ho]

how do they not have the nats winning 90 games...thats a joke

That is shocking.  They are stacked, reloaded on top of what they already had in place, young, etc.  They'll win 90 games by just showing up.

[Munson]

Can Todd tell us again what the lineup is going to be or who's gonna be in the OF or that Michael Young is on the team?

they won 98 games last year with no strasburg for the last month and added dan haren rafeal soriano and denard span in the offseason but they are going to win 10 less games this year

this year they are going to lose 10 less games?

[Rome]

The Phillies won 102 games in 2011 and 81 last year.

shtein happens even to the, ahem, MIGHTY Nats.

the phillies all got old and injured at the same time and added no one

the nats are on the rise and added a bunch of shtein in the offseason

not comparable

im not saying the nats are going to win 110 games or even a hundred games.....but to say they are going to win less than 90 is preposterous

[Rome]

I never said the teams or the situations were comparable.  I merely posited that unexpected events occur that can derail a team regardless of where they were projected to finish.

Happens all the time, in fact.  Look no further than the team you typically cheer for on Sundays (meaning the Eagles).

[ice grillin you]

sure the nats could win 80 games...fine

and the phillies could win 100 games

but we are talking about a prediction

give me a reason why they will win less than 90 besides unexpected events might happen

[QB Eagles]

if we're lucky delmon young will be injured the whole season, dude farging sucks

BP seems to always undersell teams at the top of divisions and their predicted W/L record.  Nats should be somewhere around 94/95 allowing for the possibility of a small tail off from last year, but actually predicting less than 90 seems dumb.
