2014 Phillies Thread - There's Always Next Year

[PhillyPhreak54]

side note:

farg this bullpen, farg Amaro

[MDS]

the good news is that isnt the loss that is going to keep them from making the playoffs

the bad news is ruben amaro can  throw 60 million at a loser dud like papelbon and never see any repercussions for it

[LBIggle]

now that's a dude you outright release and take the money on the chin without looking back.  a fastball that isn't very fast as your only pitch isn't going to cut it chief.  he's overthrowing the ball to compensate for his lost velocity and is going to blow out his arm by june.  phillies.

[Don Ho]

All it's going to take is one more performance like tonight to get this douchebag out of town.  No way they can keep him around.  Then again we are dealing with the most stubborn man in the world driving the bus.

But, later, Papelbon was perturbed at his teammates' defensive alignment. He said McClure visited the mound and said, "OK, let's get a ground ball." Bench coach Larry Bowa signaled for "three" depth, which meant the priority for the infielders was eliminating the runner at third on a grounder, but a double play was still possible because the infield was not completely brought in.

Leonys Martin singled past Utley to tie the game. The next two Rangers walked.

"Obviously I don't know whether that's called for the bench or called from the middle infielders, but less than two outs I'm thinking ground ball and I'm thinking let's get this double play and go home," Papelbon said. "Obviously I'm not going to second-guess my teammates or my coach."

The ball skipped past Chase Utley, drawn in because the tying run stood on third base, and Jonathan Papelbon raised his arms in disgust.

Of course you wouldn't call your teammates out.  You're above that.  you icehole.

c'mon cut crapaton a break. its hard for him to get up for a meaningless game in april while the phillies are still in the race.

wonder if taskmaster rhino will sit him for three games

[ice grillin you]

not sure if they will be blowing in or out but theres supposed to be 50 mph winds at wrigley tomorrow

[MDS]

hopefully it blows papelbon into another dimension

[ice grillin you]

still was a good signing

[MDS]

in theory it might have been a worse signing than choke's

choke is still at least a major league player. papelbon, if not for the contract, barely has the stuff to be a major league pitcher. whats the difference between him and bj rosenberg.

[ice grillin you]

one is getting ready to celebrate pesach in a couple weeks?

[MDS]

chase utley is so farging old

[LBIggle]

when he uses the bat to lean on after he swings and misses like a cane it's a little depressing.

[LBIggle]

chase says suck my meatcicle.

can't wait to see how the bullpen fares today.
