Terminally dense troll being humor challenged beyond belief and back.

Well it was a troll bait-ish thread as you could have said the same about 3/4th of the teams in the league and could have been posted in the official 2011 baseball thread.

Also, funny that the excuses come after they fall behind :)

The Phillies remain undefeated!

I was watching the top of the 9th, and the Phils announcers were basically saying the Astros don't have a dominant closer and that Madson just needed to keep the game where it was.

Jayson who?

Phillies win with 3 in the 9th, but beating the Dis-Astros does not cover up the defensive lapses that made the 9th inning comeback, as cool as it was, necessary.

Further proof that Philly fans are 100% douchebags as well. The one thing they remain consistent at year after year. :)

Unbelievable comeback. Further proving that the Bank is one of the hardest places to win at. Lyon choked like a champ once Philly fans started getting loud.

Didn't they lead the NL in comeback wins last year? Either that or 2nd most, iirc.

Ok, announcer interviewing (Big) Ben (I Left My Heart in San) Fransisco just said, "Only two teams in MLB had more comeback wins last year."

Disagree. Sure there are some, maybe a higher % than average, but there are several (but not all :p) ) in this thread alone that seem like level headed fans to me at least.

I thought the Reds had the most come from behind wins last year?

EDIT: prediction for my M's opener tonight: Felix allows no more than 2 runs, but the M's score no more than 1. Pretty safe bet, seems like it is always that way when he is on the mound, and the A's have a decent rotation as well. Ichiro will have an outfield assist, throwing out a runner at 3rd as well. He likes to do that in Oakland, and it is Japanese fan week or something there as well I think.

Have any fans puked on little girls yet in the stands?

Not that Dodger fans critically injuring Giant fans in the parking lot yesterday was much better....

Two bad ideas in sports: Wearing the opposing jersey at a Oakland Raiders home game, or a Dodgers home game.


Go Angels!

Wow, did not hear about the incident in LA, will check that out. Baseball is supposed to be the most cerebral of American sports, wtf?

Actually the Braves led the NL with 46 come from behind victories. Go Braves!

1. New York Yankees 48
2. Atlanta Braves 46
3. Cincinnati Reds 45
4. Chicago White Sox 44
5. Philadelphia Phillies 42
6. Tampa Bay Rays 42

... and everyone knows no bilge ever spews from you. :p

From tonight's game:

The four-time NL East champion Phillies stunned the baseball world when they swept in and signed Lee to a $120 million, five-year contract in December. Lee turned down more money from the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers to return to Philadelphia.

Fans quickly fell in love with Lee upon his arrival in a trade with Cleveland in July 2009. He became almost a cult hero after a sensational postseason, going 4-0 and earning Philadelphia's only two wins against the Yankees in the World Series.

But Lee was dealt to Seattle on the same day the Phillies acquired Halladay from Toronto in December 2009 because management feared he would leave in free agency. Fans bemoaned the trade on talk radio every day until he came back.

They showed their love every chance they got Saturday night.

Lee received a rousing standing ovation during pregame introductions. Fans stayed on their feet and continued applauding for his entire walk from the bullpen to the dugout.

Lee got another ovation when he came to the plate in the second. He even got cheers on his way back to the dugout after striking out and running to first because the ball eluded catcher J.R. Towles.
These are the true Philadelphia Phllies fans, FNE.

Everyone with a clue here knows you're nothing but a butthurt, hack, partisan P&N troll, a genuinely unpleasant, one-note loser-in-life whose real life resemblance to the porky-fat version of Rush Limbaugh is as uncanny as it is oddly appropriate.

You just came here to troll me. Please go back to the viper's pit of P&N. Your trolling is not welcome here.

It is impossible not to like Cliff Lee once you have watched him pitch and listened to his interviews. Too bad more professional athletes are not like him and truly realize just how lucky they are. Glad I was able to see him in Seattle, however brief it was. His performance span in Seattle might have been the best of his career, yet probably the least known or witnessed.

Great performance by Lee, as expected. Hoping Shane will be OK but if they choose to sit him I'm warming up to Mayberry standing in for him a few games. Oh and KEEP JIMMY IN THE 3 HOLE! Especially if he keeps hitting like this.

I also saw that Kyle Drabek threw 7-innings against the Twins and only gave up 1 hit. We all knew he was going to be good, and I REALLY wanted to keep Michael Taylor out of that trade, but for Halladay I'd trade 2 Kyle Drabeks and Michael Taylors if I had to, as Charlie would say "what it is is what it is" and as another Charlie would say about the Phillies, they're "WINNING!"

I don't remember mentioning your name. Got some sort of complex or something? :whiste: BTW, I think I found your picture:

Seriously Perk.. you need to lighten up man.. You have some serious hate/anger issues. If you can't handle a little ribbing in ATOT about your team without resorting to personal attacks I think you might want to step back a bit and get some perspective on things.

Cliff Lee had a nice outing last night. As he put it, Carlos Lee was their entire offense.

It took two guys running into each other to even score the first run.

Advice from one of the very worst trolls in all of P&N? No thanks.

Good natured ribbing is fine, but the fact is that the only instances you take time off from your angry, attacking, partisan shite-spewing in P&N is to bring your partisan trolling here.

Anyone who doubts this can simply do a search on your posts: It's all you do.

What a sad, pathetic life!

Btw, while that's not a picture of me this below is an actual picture of your portly Limbaughesque mug, taken by one of the two other tfnn'ers you met at a ballgame,at which they complained that you wouldn't shut up and did nothing but loudly bore-ass them about politics the entire time:

FNE.jpg


Also, it was one of them who also said you gave off a decidedly Limbaughesque air.

They may even have agreed with you politically, but they didn't necessarily mean that as a compliment, you know.

They were annoyed,
IRL. by your ceaseless, one-note political trolling!
