  1. Griswold Says:

    Oh my cod!

  2. kgarr Says:

    Tuesday?? That means Phillies in 5!

  3. Fightins Newbie Says:

    Along those lines, but yet, just the opposite!

  4. Billig Says:

    If this were facebook, I’d hit the “Like” button so hard.

  5. Watrick Says:

    I saw this last night, and totally forgot about it. No wonder why that guy likes CC so much. Or, is it C.C.?

  6. YuckTheFankees Says:

    all signs point to new yorkers being douchebags… oh yeah and the phils are gonna win

  7. Susan Finkelstein Says:

    Think Jeter could get me a ticket?

  8. YankeesRule Says:

    Yeah the biggest loser with 4 World Series rings in 13 years. How many have the Phillies won in 126 years? TWO! 2 world series championships in a century and a quarter. I’ll do the math for you that’s one every 63 years. That means you can be born a Phillies fan and if you don’t live to 64, you might not see a world series championship. Your Ryan Howard story is about a fat guy who’s trying to stay thin. AHAHAHA now that is perfect.

  9. Chase Mutley Says:

    I may be in the minority here, but if the Phillies had twenty-six World Series championships I’d probably be a little more secure in my baseball-self that I wouldn’t be trolling around the internet posting about our twenty-six championships as if I was trying to convince myself of something.

    I may also be in the minority with this two, but being ya know, like an adult with a very full life, I feel that I could live to be like 120 years old and if the team I followed never won a championship, I’d still be better off than the sort of dickhead who lives in their mother’s basement in Clifton, NJ and lives vicariously through a Derek Jeter bobblehead and misheard stories about George Steinbrenner.

    Bill Murray may never see a Cubs championship in his whole entire life but he was a mother flippin’ Ghostbuster and you post on the internet bragging about the 1950’s.

  10. OutlawPete Says:

    Let’s. Fucking. Play. Ball.

  11. phillygirl Says:

    Chase Mutley you are awesome

  12. Bay Slugga Says:

    I would trade a WFC to be a Ghostbuster…I think?

    Do – Ray – Bay Slugga (Sorry Egon)

  13. Jdashdog Says:

    Game 2 will probably be something like this:

  14. Ryan Says:

    Too bad he’s far greater of a player and person than anyone on the Phillies will ever be.

  15. ThinkRed Says:

    Chase Mutley you ARE the man.

  16. Ryan's Sister's Boyfriend Says:

    Yea, too bad.

  17. bigmyc Says:

    Jdash,

    ..embarrassing if that is actually gonna be Zimmer again in game two..

    ..if Zimmer represents A-Roid’s futility at the plate, then bravo.

  18. YankeesRule Says:

    ChaseMutley, Being here is to f*ck with you. Has nothing to do with “being secure”. I’ve been to 4 parades for the Yankees and 1 for the Mets, throw in 3 Giants, a Rangers, 4 Islanders, etc.
    Clifton, NJ??? See us people up here in the North have this thing we call “A Job”. It’s a place we drive to and sit at a desk and do stuff for a company and get paid. My IP Address is not my home IP Address. That would be a FIOS NYC IP Address.
    I guess that makes you the sort of dickhead that sits in a roach infested Philly apartment and looks up people’s ip address to sound learned?

  19. will.H Says:

    how can i achieve learned

    is that like “hi my name is yankeesrule, i have the herp therfore im fucked.’

    and how old do you have to be to say yankeesrule! c’mon playground warrior

  20. YankeesRule Says:

    Learned, like you will become learned to the fact that the Yankees are the greatest sports franchise ever.

  21. OutlawPete Says:

    “4 Islanders”

    who?

  22. GBGB Says:

    I think its nice that Yankees fans are proud of their team’s history, but they should try to keep their insults relevant. I’m not sure why it matters that the Phillies have only won two World Series in the past 126 years. Other than Jamie Moyer, I don’t think any of the current Phillies were playing on that 1883 squad.

    It’s not going to be the 1927 Yankees taking the field tonight, or the 1961 Yankees, or even the 1998 Yankees. It’s going to be the 2009 Yankees vs. the 2009 Phillies (who, by the way, have won one World Series in the past one year).

  23. YankeesRule Says:

    We learn that the instant we are born in no particular order (e.g. breathe, it’s cold, crying, the Yankees rule) Some of us have done more crying then others (e.g. Phillies fans, Mets fans).

  24. phatty Says:

    He goes to Yankees parades and Mets parades, now THAT is a real fan.

  25. Tug Haines Says:

    Mongolian Grill then Game 1.

  26. YankeesRule Says:

    OutlawPete, you know the team that smacked the old Flyers into retirement?

  27. YankeesRule Says:

    I rooted for the Mets to beat the Red Sox. Damn right thats a fan.

  28. phatty Says:

    Shouldn’t you be at the Islanders-Rangers game tonight, since you’re such a huge fan of both teams?

  29. will.H Says:

    yankeesrule, i want to read your guide on how to become an elitist. the greed of NY ruined our country, now you’re going to smear a philly blog with your stale personality?

  30. Jdashdog Says:

    I am going to do everything in my power ensure a Phillies win. For instance, it’s bad luck to fap the day of the game – I think I can hold out. Wearing any Birdland garment is also great luck.

  31. Ryan Howard Says:

    Like the Yankees or hate the Yankees, I’m not sure how you can justify picking on Jeter. He doesn’t talk trash, he avoids controversy, he is a stand-up player and citizen, and one of the few athletes left who you can actually call a role model. Go pick on A-Rod, or Tex, or whoever..but ya gotta leave Jeter alone.

  32. YuckTheFankees Says:

    agreed ryan howard the yankees are a bunch of overpaid steroid thumping whiners, except for derek jeter, really a class act.

  33. RR Says:

    Any of your schmucks get the YES Network? You see the Philly fans dressed like HK…blue blazers and white loafers???

  34. will.H Says:

    RR, if so, what would be wrong with that? no one makes fun of your dead icons.

  35. maria Says:

    A little over two hours to go.

  36. Chase Mutley Says:

    HA! I only guessed at Clifton, NJ! That’s so awesome that I was right!

    See, the reason I said Clifton, NJ is because I actually work at one of your fancy “up North” jobs building websites that the local population was too busy putting neon lights on the bottom of their car to learn how to do. I am the only product of Philadelphia, even with it’s Ivy League University, who has a job though. The whole entire city! Can you believe that?! No one in Philly works. We pay all of our bills with the good vibes coming from Trenton and Camden.

    Thank you for sharing your parade stories. They were cute and I’m sure it was a blast sitting on your boyfriend’s shoulders so Sean Landeta knew that it was YOU who was the biggest fan.

  37. dlhunter Says:

    +20 to Chase Mutley.

    You got any lotto number recommendations?

  38. sarahKNUCKLEUP Says:

    how devoid of meaning is your life that you feel compelled to go to a phillies blog and post vapid and meat-headed comments over and over and over?

    will.H hit the nail on the head: it’s empty elitism, kind of pitifully juvenile, and it’s really getting boring.

    /yawn

  39. Placido Polanco Says:

    Anyone know where I can get a Placido Polanco Phillies jersey?

  40. RR Says:

    will.h,

    Who made fun of dead icons? I simply asked if anyone saw it. Pigeon.

  41. D. Whitmore Says:

  42. The Killers Zs Says:

    The reason they keep showing up is that we keep responding to their inanity. There is never going to be an intelligent dialogue with these types who have no respect for the game.

  43. RR Says:

    look at that…just a few mins after 6:00 pm. The top of the 1st will be over in 2 hours from now.

  44. dlhunter Says:

    I’m expecting a live blog by Gonzo tonight. Nothing but the best.

  45. RR Says:

    SarahKNUCKLEUP,

    Yet, you find it a necessity to respond. Ironic.

  46. Lynniemac Says:

    @dlhunter: Someone needs to have a live blog. Tradition demands it.

  47. Joey Wade Says:

    you’re placido polonco… you figure it out.

  48. greenman! Says:

    I just love this Yankees fan that post on here, I wonder if he goes on Nomaas and faps to their material when he gets done asserting his “Superiority” on here.

  49. BigMiles Says:

    T-Mac or A-Rod…who has the bigger man jugs?

    (100 minutes til game time)

  50. Mand(i) Says:

    yea we need the live blog tonight if only for it’s undefeated winning streak.

  51. Weatherman Says:

    AP NEWSBREAK 6:08 pm 10/28/09;.// GAME 1 POSTPONED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER. RESCHEDULED FOR 7:57 PM THURSDAY, 10/29/09.

  52. Ray Says:

    is anybody watching mlb network? they interviewed pat gillick and kept referring to the phillies as “his team” since he drafted so many of the players that are now playing prominent roles

    that’s pretty close except he drafted exactly 0 players who are on the active roster, if memory serves me

  53. will.H Says:

    haha, nice try weatherman. false info rules

  54. Mand(i) Says:

    i hate mlb network especially this harold character. nothing nice to say about philly. i would not be watching if not for the phils batting practice and something to hold me over until 7:57pm est.

  55. OutlawPete Says:

    @ Weatherman

    it took you two minutes to type that?

  56. D. Whitmore Says:

    knibb high football rules

  57. YankeesRule Says:

    Hey guys, I’m really sorry for all those things I said. I especially apologize to Chase Mutley. The reason I’m on this blog and commenting irrelevant stuff is because I’m really nervous because I know how good the Phillies are. They aren’t even close to being a potent as the Angels or Twins (hah). Sorry everyone. I’ll leave now, plus my mom’s here to pick me up. Enjoy the series.

  58. maria Says:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_ZBqjNxa8I&feature=player_embedded

    Not Phillies related but totally awesome.

  59. will.H Says:

    haha d.whitmore

    im sure glad i called that guy.

  60. Weatherman Says:

    No, Outlaw Pete. I took me 7 seconds to type that. But I’ll tell you what did take two minutes to do; click on your name, realize your website sucks balls and that your last 7 posts generated exactly 0 (ZERO) comments. After that, I came back to this site, and typed this with 45 seconds to spare. Word.

  61. Weatherman Says:

    “will.H Says:

    October 28th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
    haha d.whitmore

    im sure glad i called that guy.”

    -Will.H then sits back on couch, grabs red lipstick and applies it sloppily as he prepares to make out with Cole Hamels.

  62. Lynniemac Says:

    One. Long. Fucking. Hour. Just play ball.

  63. Swift5648 Says:

    This is the night folks… game one. Let’s do this, Go Phils!

  64. Fightins Newbie Says:
