As a Phillies fan, do I have the right to say shit? Nope

As a Phillies fan, do I know that my team has won 1 World Series in 123 years of existence? Yep

But God do I love seeing those Yankees lose! Good Job Tigers! No one gave them a chance...and low and behold, the ALCS has a spot reserved for the Detroit Tigers.


No one can tell me that they (as a team) aren't overrated. As a group of players, when you are by far the most paid team in baseball for 5 years...and you cant win the World Series ONCE during that span, you are definately overrated.


As a Phillies fan, let me just introduce you guys to a saying that us Phillies fans have come to trademark and use for 122 years.............



WAIT TIL NEXT YEAR

[smallguy]

Very disappointed right now, this team needs a change quickly.

Well atleast the Yankees made the playoffs.
Its a sad day but Joe Torrii is going to be gone. Here comes the next era and Pennela is the next GM of the Yanks. Yankees will win the WS next year, once we get our pitching staff better. We need to sign Barry Zito.

Ah the age old saying..."Atleast they got there"...because getting to the playoffs is the ultimate goal right? Right now the Phillies are right where the Yankees are...except it was less heartbreaking and much less expensive for us.


I've heard "Here comes number twenty-seven" since 2002...it's going to be 2007 next year. And despite having the highest payroll by alot and the supposed "Best line up ever"...the last 5 seasons have brought you an early exit by a wildcard team that many picked to be swept, a world series loss to a wild card team, the biggest and most notorious collapse in baseball playoff history and two early exits from teams that "Don't have a chance".

There is a reason why the Yankees dont win the World Series anymore...they have no chemistry. All star teams don't work in crunch time and these Yankees teams have proven it.

[JetsOhFive]

Remember gentlemen, the goal is to win the World Series. If you don't do that, you fail. I don't care if you're one out away and end up losing...you still fail. It doesn't matter if you get to the playoffs, if you don't win the WS...it's a wasted trip.

To add..you guys can bring up the "Well we won 26 World Series'" all you want. How many did you win this year? Because that's what matters...not last year, not 2 years ago...not 1950, not 1920, not 1918. The only thing that matters is what happened THIS SEASON.

I doubt they get rid of Torre but i think people now see why Jeter is so valuable to the yankees compared to A-rod, he shows up 165? games a year and than some. i noticed A-rod was batting 8th today, noway you should pay somebody 25 million to bat 8th in the lineup, would anyone else be suprised if they moved him?

I wouldn't be surprised. Hopefully he goes to Florida and can get Dontrelle out of the division.

[Fatman]

I've been hearin this all day after what kenny rogers did to them yesterday i knew the series was over I think they keep Torre but A-rod and sheffield might be on their way out

[EnRiCH13]

LMAO

Yankees Suck!

[smallguy]

I saw on ESPN that soruces tell the New York Daily News that the yankees are expected to fire torre and bring Lou Pinella.

[Chadforpresidentin08]

As Smallguy said, reporters are buzzing that Toree is out and Lou Pinella is in. I wouldn't do this, not once in a life, but George has always had something for Lou and tries to keep him around. Bringing Pinella in, to me, would be a big mistake. I'd get Girardi.
But trust me, there will be some changes. Now that I think of it, the only players safe in The Boss's hands are Cano, Jeter, Posada, Damon, Abreu, and Rivera. I don't think anyone else is safe.
I'd also personally keep Matsui, Bernie (if he comes back), Wang, Melky, and even A-Rod (unless we can get a REALLY good pitcher, I'm talking like Dontrelle Willis here, as there is a report the Yankees might trade A-Rod to the Marlins after paying off most of A-Rod's salary for Willis).
This is a gurantee though, there will be changes, hopefully in the starting rotation.

[penningtonpays]

not going to lie im a closet florida marlins fan and if i was the marlins GM i wouldnt trade for a-rod for caberea or willis...22? year old arguably a top 3 pitcher in a game for a 30 year old player that the team never wins that he is on.

[Smedsthejet]

How did Dontrelle do this year? I doubt the Yankees do a straight swap of ARod for Willis as 1.) it would cost the Marlins too much even if the Yankees do pay off a lot of his contract 2.) the Yankees, although with an endless supply of money, would be throwing millions down the drain if they paid off his deal and 3.) the Yankees have a crowded outfield to deal with and IMO it would be sensibler if they dealt an OF for a pitcher. Cabrera, Williams, Matsui, Sheffield (even though he played 1B a lot down the stretch and in the short playoffs), Damon and Abreu are all there and three (or two if one goes DH) have to stay on the bench. They are players who are too good to be riding the pine and I'm sure the Yankees could get a top of the rotation starter for one of them.

[smallguy]

The only team that will take A-rod is the angels. If we trade A-rod to the angels we will most likely get Ervin Santana, as well as other young players, I would hope.

I guess the Phillies are about 100 years away from there goal.


Whats soo bad about Lou, I thought he is suppose to be the up and coming Manager.

[jetsaremylife]

well AROD has to go to a team like the devil rays cuz we know ther not goin to the playoffs and thats all he needs

They're closer than the Tigers were 3 years ago.

If A-Rod goes to the D-Rays...that will be huge. Players will start to sign with Tampa , knowing that they are on the uprise. Kinda like remember when Ivan Rodriguez signed with the Tigers who lossed 119 games the year before? Now look. Tampa Bay has a good young pitcher they can build around named Scott Kazmir, A-Rod be huge for them.

[Chadforpresidentin08]

Actually, if A-Rod were to go to Tampa, that'd be big as JetsOhFive said. They got Kazmir, who looks VERy promising, and remember, Delmon Young got his first try at the majors this year and did pretty good. Plus, that would draw more butts in the seats, and that means more money, giving them more money to go and fish for someone.

[jetsaremylife]

i didnt really mean the devil rays i was joking. i meant he should go to a team that cant make the playoffs
