I suppose, I’m pretty sure they’re awfully gay too, though.

Gotta love those New York Mets, though. They don’t have a history of sucking

The Phillies suck. I’m just throwing that out there.

Marcus Giles is probably not that bad of a pickup. Last year he was injured, the year before he hit a career low of .229. Other than that as a starting 2nd baseman for the Braves, at only 5′8″ and 180 lbs, he hit some hrs and a nice amount of doubles.
Take out 2007, his career average at about .285- what do we need for a temporary replacement for Chase – this will do fine.

Don M, first of all, even if Raul Ibanez hit a 162 HRs this year I will never, ever buy his Phillies jersey, because no matter what,people believe Pat the Bat was never offered a contract here from Rueben Amaro JR, I captialize that because he is not his father and his father is still living, the Phantom ownership wanted a Latino GM, and they screwed over not just a loyal player, but also a loyal employee, Mike Arbuckle.

Phil, you’re right the Eagles fans are the worse, the Phillies win the division and you hear that G ) D Dam Eagles chant at the game, and I do not respect the ownership, coach/front office or Quarterback, of the Eagles, Jeffrey Lurie has no respect for the former teams or players, Andy Reid doesn’t know his arse from a hole in the ground about coaching football or raising kids, and Donovan McNabb, the new Eric Lindros in Philadelphia.

Mike B., I agree with you 100% about signing Gabe Kapler. I brought his name up in here right after they signed Ibanez, as the righthanded hitting outfielder they need. We can get him cheap and he is a Philly type player who likes to get his uniform dirty and is a good clubhouse guy. He’d be a perfect fit.

Would be a really scary Superbowl for both sides. Have you noticed all 4 remaining AFC teams run a 3-4 D, always get a little nervous when our boys match-up against those teams…

Chuck P, that idea absolutely terrifies me. That would probably split Pitt’s campus apart. Most of the students here are either Eagles fans or Steelers fans. Some of my best friends are Steelers fans. I do agree with what you say about the difference between Eagles and Steelers fans, though. One of the things that really surprised me was the hatred Steelers fans have towards Eagles fans – what I sensed towards the Steelers from back home was indifference.

If such a Super Bowl was anything like their Week 3 matchup, though, it would be a hell of a game.

Yep guilty as charged and thanks Chuck, just like to chip in some views rather than arbitrary abuse otherwise I’d feel compelled to trade my Phillies cap in for a Mets one.
