Game Thread 8/11: Philadelphia Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies at Los Angeles Dodgers, Aug 11, 2008 7:10 PM PDT




The Phillies acquired a third of their starting lineup as cheap pickups, we acquired Angel Berroa. You do the math.

I can't believe Greg Dobbs

has actually turned into a some what competent major league player.

I think you could make a decent team out of guys Bill Bavasi gave up for nothing.

John Danks just lost a no hitter

and he’s now down a run. I see a double to CFer Ken Griffey Jr. wonder how ugly that play was.

I’m sure Williams didn’t notice. He’s probably too busy watching tape of a Mariners game from ‘93 and pleasuring himself.

Or maybe

1995 and that stupid fucking jumping catch into the wall.

Sigh.

If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.

How in the world

is that catch not on youtube?

I think the MLB is pretty protective of their media being put on youtube.

They make literally millions off people asking express written consent of that footage. How could you give that away for free?

Doesn't stop everyone

there is a bunch of other stuff, but still I guess that is probably it.

Tempting

but the quality is probably atrocious. I guess if I was still a poor college freshman I’d be all over this.

The Phillies don’t deserve Chase Utley.

Or most of their starting lineup really.

How much money would it take for you to say “I knew it was bad when I had high cholesterol, but I never new it would contribute to my erectile dysfunction” on national television?

I wonder if the Diamondbacks fans will cheer Dunn politely and not buy his merchandise.

depends

the casual fans or the fans that post on the pit or DBBP?

The casual fan fell in love with the flying nun routine perfected by one Eric Byrnes.

There was a post over there a few days ago about how Dodger fans were evil people for cheering Manny and buying his merchandise.

Sorry, gentleman, but I must leave you. I just found out this game is on TV, and for some reason, we don’t have cable installed upstairs.

I wish I could go home and watch this. Supposedly only another 11 days of this project.

How do we have Hu is the minors and Berroa is still allowed to play?

Ned can’t see the man play everyday and still want him on the team.
