Quoteable: Chipper Jones On The Phillies
Posted by meech.one at 7:23 pm ET 5 Comments

There's a metaphor in here somewhere.After the Phillies invade someone else’s city and completely demolish their team, it’s always fun to check the rival paper to search for feel-good quotes…

Found one!

The paper? The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The quotee? Chipper Jones.

“They’ve got guys who go up there with a game plan,” Jones said. “They’ve got guys that work at being a tough out. Over the course of nine innings, they wear you down. That’s what division champions do.”

You cot-damn right, Chip.

    o yea. chipper is hittin nice this year but the phils got the division crown on lockdown. UTLEY for mvp all day

  2. Willy from Philly Says:

    Yesteryear, Jones, Smoltz, Maddux, Glavine, ect used to always say they’d look into the Phillies dugout in tight situations and knew the Phillies were somehow going to lose the game. They weren’t winners.
    The tide has changed.

  3. ha-mace Says:

    It also helps when the other team’s second baseman drops a popup with two outs in the ninth. Makes it a real “tough out” when that happens.

  4. PhiPhan5648 Says:

    A classy comment from Chipper…. doesn’t matter, I still hate him, and his team. Fuck the Braves! Go Phils!

  5. Clare Says:

    Yeah, LARRY, the Phillies are focused on finding a way to win every night because they* aren’t focused on banging Hooters waitresses.

    *Pat Burrell excepted
