[jaimej]

Floyd you really are one negative Nancy today.

[acfrue]

At the rate that's going, you may want to start lowering expectations for Michigan hockey.

yeah, check out the ncaa hockey thread to see my latest concerns...one of our senior defenseman was assaulted by a football player, just because the football team sucks ass doesnt mean you need to make the hockey team suck too

[Hainzey X]

Saturday night IN philly too, awesome!

M-(

i doubt i can afford tickets. maybe ill try to get into chickie's & pete's. my 22 inch T.V. screen won't do the WS justice.

[xbrokendownx]

Floyd you really are one negative Nancy today.




not really, just about this. im never going to hear the end of it if the Phillies win the world series so im not looking forward to watching them play in the presence of all my asshole Phillie fan friends

[imirish06]

Katie and I may be driving to Philly on Saturday to check out the city. I'm happy for the Phillies. Class players, class manager, some of the fans in this thread made it unbearable to root for them though haha.

if you buy a cheese steak don't get one from any vendors on the streets. get one from either pats or genos

truth

[Dirty Ernie]

I just woke up, called out of work today. I was out til 3:30. We watched the game in McFaddens at Citizens Bank Park, it was packed. When Ruiz caught that ball it was an all out mosh, I was dripping in beer. I don't even know what I'll do if they win, I've never seen a title. Probably jump off the Whitman since it won't get any better.

Pat's and Geno's are so overrated it is disgusting.

[thatsignant]

Yea but if you don't go to Philly often you kind of have to go to Pat's or Geno's just to say you did

[LastPlaceRocks]

No you don't. You just have to get a cheese steak just to say you did.

[Killadelphia]

Yea but if you don't go to Philly often you kind of have to go to Pat's or Geno's just to say you did

JOHN'S ROAST PORK IS BETTER AND JUST AS FAMOUS!

He should go to either John's or Tony Luke's, they're both near each other.

[Drew Beringer]

Both times I've been to Philly I went to Jim's. I thought they were really good.

[Hainzey X]

Both times I've been to Philly I went to Jim's. I thought they were really good.

i was waiting for someone to mention jims. ive never had anything from there, though.

believe it or not, ive never even had a cheesesteak in my life and i live only about 8 blocks (not even a mile) from geno's/pat's. i get all kinds of shit for it haha

[aloneatlastnj]

[IAmNietzche]

[Hainzey X]

someone had to say it.

link please ?

[Drew Beringer]

Almost bought a blue Phillies cap today, almost.

[Killadelphia]

I'd go John's, Steve's, and Chink's. Then Tony Luke's. I'd put Pat's over Geno's for sure.

[Killadelphia]

Almost bought a blue Phillies cap today, almost.

lol nice, @ the World Series caps out @ lids yet?

and here

http://www.johnsroastpork.com/

Thing is, it's only open until 3 pm.

[emkvetwin]

congrats killadelphia, makes me embarassed the cubs got swept by a team that got pretty much obliterated in the nlcs

obliterated?

Game 1, we made one bad throw and two bad pitches, and lost by a run.

Game 2, yeah, that was ugly. but, still put pressure on the Phils and had the tying run up in the ninth.

Game 3, we took them out of it in the first inning.

Game 4, they needed two HRs in the eighth to beat us.

Game 5, it was tight until Rafael Furcal happened.

this was not an obliteration. outplayed, yes, but not obliterated. if you want to talk about an obliteration, look a series earlier.

No World Series caps, all the red Phils hats were sold out though, they only had the blue ones.

Not even 24 hours before Philly stuck its foot in its mouth:

The700level.com

On the XM RadioBaseball This Morning: Playoff Edition today, a caller from Delaware chimed in to share his joy for the Fightins. He may have just created the next great new catch phrase, saying, "Boston did it. The White Sox did it. Why can't us? Why can't us." 2008 Philadelphia Phillies: WHY CAN'T US!


They ran with it: http://www.the700level.com/2008/10/why-cant-us-pro.html

So, by popular demand, I am happy to introduce the official Why Can't Us merchandise (http://www.cafepress.com/609design/6082920). All the proceeds will go to the Phillies favorite charity, the ALS Association, Greater Philadelphia Chapter (http://www.alsphiladelphia.org/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=183).

ohhhh....shut it

[Killadelphia]

ohhhh....shut it

he's actually right though. The series was a lot closer than 4-1.

[rcrook]

if the phillies don't hit 2 homers in the same inning in games 1 and 4 it could very easily be 3-2 dodgers right now.

[Killadelphia]

yep, but hey the Phillies took care of the Dodgers mistakes thankfully.

[acfrue]

he's actually right though. The series was a lot closer than 4-1.

yeah, hes right, the cubs did get annihilated

[Killadelphia]

yeah, hes right, the cubs did get annihilated

the guy said the Phillies obliterated the Dodgers.

[acfrue]

the guy said the Phillies obliterated the Dodgers.

i'm confused, i was talking about emkvetwin, he said that if you wanted an obliteration the series before is the one you should look at, which is true. the cubs did get crushed by the dodgers.

[rcrook]

you told him to shut it when he gave a game to game breakdown of where the dodgers fucked up...

[acfrue]

you told him to shut it when he gave a game to game breakdown of where the dodgers fucked up...

no i said shut it to the "the series before was obliteration", and it was the cubs were crushed

whatever, the phillies are into the world series and the dodgers are not

[rcrook]

congrats killadelphia, makes me embarassed the cubs got swept by a team that got pretty much obliterated in the nlcs

you said it yourself that the dodgers got obliterated in the nlcs!

[64 % chance]

if the phillies don't hit 2 homers in the same inning in games 1 and 4 it could very easily be 3-2 dodgers right now.

you could go on forever with the what ifs.

[imirish06]

I drank, I sang, I shimmied up light-posts, had a police officer threaten me with violence, & almost got into a round of fisticuffs with a local bartender because he would not serve me another dark & stormy. What I’m basically trying to say is that I blacked out & found myself in a rather compromising situation this morning.

I guess I was smart enough to not drive home, but I stumbled back to my office & decided it was a good idea to get comfortable on our conference room table. I was found this morning by a co-worker laying flat on my back on top of a table with one arm behind my head acting as a cushiony support mechanism & the other down my jeans into the crotchal region. I was also still wearing my Pumas. It got worse when I realized I did not have a change of clothes for the workday. It got fiscally complicated when I came back to my desk, opened my Gmail account and found a StubHub confirmation for 4 world series tickets which I have no recollection of doing….fiscally complicated to the extent of $2k…. I have been ridiculed all day for my actions, but I will not apologize.”

[Killadelphia]

sucks for him, but also cool at the same time.

[hopeforthebest]

REALLY?

[Drew Beringer]

ground breaking revelations found in this thread

[LikeAnAvalanche]

Phillies in five. not a doubt in my mind, I actually had Dodgers-phills, yanks-angels,

I think it's going to be, Phillies in 6, Yankees in 5,

then Yankees take the Phills in 6.

Just my two cents, i'm pretty good at this predicting game, so I figured might as well share with AP.net

[Drew Beringer]

why are baseball celebrations so outrageous? I mean why do teams that win the Division Series need to spray champagne all over themselves afterwards? In what other sport does this happen?

[Montauk1222]

Go Phillies!

[ted is lying]

why are baseball celebrations so outrageous? I mean why do teams that win the Division Series need to spray champagne all over themselves afterwards? In what other sport does this happen?
Cause this is baseball.

[Dirty Ernie]

why are baseball celebrations so outrageous? I mean why do teams that win the Division Series need to spray champagne all over themselves afterwards? In what other sport does this happen?

I think the length of the season/amount of games plus the fact that only 4 teams make it in each league is probably why. But yeah if you win the world series that's four champagne celebrations which is a bit much.

[QuikTrig]

i think there's a little history behind it too. i mean, winning the pennant has a historical connotation of being a much bigger accomplishment than say, afc champion. or at least that's how i see it.

[ted is lying]

I hate the post season I feel like I dont get my daily baseball fix and I know my baseball is going to be gone for another few months and the only thing to look forward to is spring training.

[preppyak]

why are baseball celebrations so outrageous? I mean why do teams that win the Division Series need to spray champagne all over themselves afterwards? In what other sport does this happen?
haha, they need to turn it into a Beyond Baseball

We'll see what Nova can do when Wesley Johnson's on the court. Scotty better not miss, because Cuse is leading the big east in rebounds this year.
