2005 home run derby down? Pretty sure he's the best player ever. (At least he thinks so). Too bad Venezuala had less violence this year so he didn't have to stay inside all winter pumping iron. (Speaking of which, did Ugy Urbina get executed yet?)
This isn't the "Just won the world series for the first time in 687 years" thread.
so far pretty solid defensively and is hitting .340.. he's a positive addition
And he is hitting .340 and not #####ing about not playing with a gimpy leg or assaulting police officers, so I'm still ok with it.I realize the Ken Williams will look like a genius if Thome is a major cog in another deep playoff run. I accept it. We still needed to do what we needed to do.
This guy is my official spokesman from now on so that my venom doesn't cloud my statements.
That homerun derby was a joke.... there's just something about him i can't stand about him....he gives up on plays to much... take last night's game, there was a ball hit in the gap and aaron rowand couldn't make the play, but the man dived to atleast try and make a play.....when Abreu takes a fly ball, either he is spinning around like a dancer trying to "adjust" to the ball, or flat out doesn't hussle for the play... Philadelphia fans want effort, if anyone watched last night Rowand got cheers for making a effort for a play....we want players who will hussle and give 100%.....players like Abreu get a bronx cheer for catching a fly ball.....which he deserves....

Just because everything The Chief says is intended to rile people up, doesn't mean he's always wrong.
You had your chance 8 years ago. Eddie Wade made a fool outta ya.
She just really wants the Rollins beanie hat.
1993 . . .My wife is a Phillies fan. Tomorrow is her birthday. We have tickets to the game as part of her birthday gift. We'll be in left field about 7 rows up. I'm still trying to decide if I should wear my Braves hat and jersey.
What's that, last time Philly made the playoffs?1993 . . .My wife is a Phillies fan. Tomorrow is her birthday. We have tickets to the game as part of her birthday gift. We'll be in left field about 7 rows up. I'm still trying to decide if I should wear my Braves hat and jersey.

Hmm, let's see...1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005. 
And the Braves have defeated the Devil Rays in the World Series just as many times as the Devil Rays have defeated the Braves in the World Series. Sorry, but you gotta make it to the playoffs first. If the Phillies could have made it to the playoffs more than once in the past 15 years I'm sure that record would be much different.

Quit living in the past.
There is noone like Andruw Jones in the field. I agree with you about the rest of what you said about Abreu though. Phillies fans are so dumb they don't even recognize their best player since Mike Schmidt.
Let me know when you break .500.
Glad to know you're keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.Let me know when your city wins a title. 23 years and counting.
You're welcome that we chose Ray Rhodes instead of Gruden.
See, this guy gets it. Ryan Franklin is also a stud.Somewhat surprisingly, Gordon has been very good so far.
I'm confident that if the team is still in it, Gillick will make the in-season move that Wade never could (although I liked the Urbina trade). Imagine how bad it would be if Franklin made the rotation and Floyd went to AAA.
Don't confuse him with facts.
I was confusing the years Villanova won the title and when the Phillies won. Going back to 1980 lowers the winning percentage for the Braves to .555.
See, that's much better.Except that Villanova won in 1985.
Oh, I agree that Abreu isn't nearly as good as Andruw in the field. I was merely comparing their style. People have given Andruw a hard time for years too because they think that he's loafing it in the outfield (I used to be one of them). But he just doesn't need to run around like crazy most of the time because he has such a long stride and he breaks on balls so quickly. I also think that Jones would be treated the same as Abreu if he played in Philly. They would say that he hits too many HRs with nobody on base, he strikes out too much and he's lazy in the outfield. Maybe not, but that's my perception.
