Official 2008 MLB thread

[Dark Donnie]

Then how come the team that YOU brought up... the Cubs... have a consistent fan base? Do the BUlls have anything to do with that? You don't need to win championships to be a (Enter sport) town. Philladelphia is a football town. No one gave a **** about baseball until the end of last year. You can deny that all you want... that was pretty much the case. A year and a half of decent baseball does not automatically mean the general Philly fanbase converted to baseball disciples... unless of course they are all band wagon hoppers... which they apparently are if we are going by what you or Jason Stark is saying.

Reading Comprehension not a strong point? I was comparing The Cubs vs Phila. LIKE Jayson Stark, that came from his article.

Again the Cubs have a richer baseball history then The Phillies, what's so hard to understand? Over there history The Cubs have 2 World Championships, 10 Pennants, and 15 Playoff Appearances, while The Phillies have 1 World Championship, 6 Pennants, and 10 Playoff Appearances, and The Phillies have been around 10 years longer. Enough with the bandwagon ********...it's old. Like I said every team in every city will have a surge of fans if that team made the WS, it's common sense, but since you have none I can see why you don't get it. I NEVER said we were baseball disciples, I said the town is becoming more interested with The Phillies which is 100% true. There is a large group of Phillies fans that have been through the rough years, myself included. I have no problem with more people backin this team. We have an amazing core of players with Rollins, Hamels, Howard, Utley, Victorino, etc. Arguably the best The Phillies have had at each position (with the exception of Victorino).

I'm through with debating you, and I'd rather focus on the game tonight.

several

Three = few. More than that is several.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Appreciated

No problem. I hate teams but I don't hate their fans enough to say they don't deserve to see their team win a championship.

 

[Showtime]

Three = few. More than that is several.

Several is more than two but fewer than many.

You've just been Showtimed.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Several is like 4+. Besides, the Pats cheated

 

[Erzengel]

Several is more than two but fewer than many.

You've just been Showtimed.

Not to split hairs, but if I had 3 dollars I wouldn't say I had several dollars, I'd say I'd have a few.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Couple=2
Few=3
Several=4-7
Bunch=8-10
Dozen=11-13

 

[Showtime]

2 a: more than one <several pleas> b: more than two but fewer than many <moved several inches> cchiefly dialect : being a great many

1. Being of a number more than two or three but not many:

more than two but not many; of an indefinite but small number; few

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I'm going with the Rays in 6.

 

[FaT_tONle]

No problem. I hate teams but I don't hate their fans enough to say they don't deserve to see their team win a championship.

Fair enough... but fan bases are a main reason why I hate the teams I do. I hate the Yankees because their fans can't get off their high horses. Ungrateful, unappreciative, spoiled... well you get the point. I hate the Eagles and Phillies STRICTLY because of their fan bases, and I hate the Patriots but that's because Belicheck is a ****ing **** ****ing ******, but that's another story. The way I see it, these teams don't deserve championships again until my teams win again.

 

[Immortalfire]

I have Erz and Spidey Bat on my side.

Victory is mine.

 

[Nightmare]

Can i be on your side?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Philly in six.....

So says the poster who is a fan of the only team in the entire Major Leagues to have never won a postseason series.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Whoever wins... Fox is really gonna dig them ratings this October... they are gonna dig them fo sure...

 

[FaT_tONle]

Whoever wins... Fox is really gonna dig them ratings this October... they are gonna dig them fo sure... I mean the Phillies and the Rays of all teams... must watch for every sports fan in America.

 

[Bunker]

Sarcasm?

 

[Dr. Evil]

MLB was hoping for:

1. Dodgers vs. Red Sox
2. Dodgers vs. Rays
3. Red Sox vs. Phillies

With Dodgers vs. Sox as the top option.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Fair enough... but fan bases are a main reason why I hate the teams I do. I hate the Yankees because some of their fans can't get off their high horses. Ungrateful, unappreciative, spoiled... well you get the point.

Fixed

 

[Captain Planet!]

Can Fox just cut the crap and get to the game already?

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Can Fox just cut the crap and get to the game already?

It's not starting untill 8:35.

 

[Go Web Go!]

Woah, woah, woah....

The Tampa Bay Rays are in the World Series and the freakin' Backstreet Boys are performing the anthem? What the hell is going on? Where am I?

 

[Captain Planet!]

It said on MLB.com it was at "8 PM".





........The Backstreet Boys? Oh come on.

 

[Dr. Evil]

at the National Anthem singers.

 

[Bunker]

I really hate that corny heroic music they play before every commercial break.

 

[Dark Donnie]

That one Backstreet Boy didn't age well
