I can't stop watching this

[Johnny Abruzzo]

got a call from phils ticket office today regarding the season ticket holder survey I submitted. I was honest with my opinion of amaro. I plan to call them back this weekend and further voice my displeasure with how this team is run.

I filled it out and as you might have guessed I went on a rant about Pimple-face, and also about ending up with Wigginton at 3B. I did mention my support of the bullpen youth movement, which obviously has not worked out this year, and my pleasure at the Hamels signing.

[The Juggler]

Apparently Kendrick, he of the 2-8 record and 5+ ERA in starts, said it's a matter of "What have you done for me lately?" in possibly being removed from the rotation.

Must be tough to make millions of dollars to pitch poorly and then pout about it.

why the hell did he pinch hit for dom brown in the 9th last night? 2nd time in the last few days. game was over but who cares? brown should get every possible at bat he can get in these 2 months. that pissed me off.

because the manager is a dumb ass

brown has looked good since coming back up. new swing is much better. hopefully the power is coming
.

thank god he got rid of that ricky jordan stance

gunned a couple runners out in left too. cautiously optimistic thus far.

no love for mike lieberthal? haha

if there ever was a year to just not put someone in the wof....jeez.

Seriously. Reeks of desperation. Who's next? Dave Hollins?

I dunno. I liked Liberthal being inducted. In fact, I think he embodies the "Fighting Phillies" mantra as much as anybody in my time as a fan. And by most statistical measures, he was better than Daulton. But we all love Daulton because we all love the '93 team. I'm more than fine with Liberthal in the wall of fame.

I hear you. Problem is honoring either of them celebrates mediocrity. Something this team does far too often

Also, Charlie Manuel is a fool. Get rid of him already

[The Fixer]

well, looks like phils found their backup catcher for next year.

Well they are the losingest team in the history of North American professional sports...so celebrating mediocrity almost seems justified. They probably shouldn't induct someone EVERY year. But if they must, I'm fine with Liberthal this year. But who the heck are they gonna honor next year? The Phanatic?

Here's who I think some obvious future honorees will be: Burrell, Howard, Utley, Hamels, Rollins, Manager Charlie Manuel, GM Ruben Amaro.

Calm down, Fixer. I'm kidding about Amaro.

[Cliffy6745]

Buddy asked me to go to the game today. Met them down there...boom, suite with an open bar. Good times. Love me some Sunday drinking.

Apparently this year came down to Lieberthal or Schilling. I'm hoping that they went with their second choice.

And yeah, no way this franchise should be inducting someone every year. Pretty much a joke

I still don't understand why worley is still pitching. guy is obviously struggling and needs elbow surgery. they are almost 20 games back of DC. I don't get it

Always a good idea and fun time...until that alarm blares on monday am

cannot believe august is about half over. this year is absolutely flying by. feels like nye was a month ago

Damn. Wish I'd known - was down there from 11 till like 7. First in FDR, then all over the ballpark, and then Bar Mall.

By the way, this is the first time in 8 years of going to the ballpark that I ate something from Bull's other than the pulled pork sandwich. I gotta say the sampler isn't that bad of a price relative to everything else down there.

funny, I'm same way. Only reason I really choose Bulls is because the lines are so quick...don't miss much of the game if you go during play.

I have also had my share of dogs...esp on dollar dog nights.

[Jearlpam0925]

Yeah, I've gorged on the dollar dogs, though they've become more rare nowadays.

Yeah, the Sampler C for 13.25 isn't bad when you consider a Schmitter is almost the same amount and other sandwiches run about 6/7 bucks.

I'd say the sausage and peppers is the best value, followed by the pulled pork and the bull dog.
