I'm looking out my office window, the weather is beautiful and all I can think about is going to a game.

Yeah, I didn't expect to go out for a full afternoon / early evening of errands and find the game was still going when I got back.

like the person from the Inquirer said:
"This is most likely not as it seems, but let's see how many national New York-based media outlets jump on this one. THESE ARE ISOLATED AND UNRELATED INCIDENTS! WE ARE NOT ALL LIKE THIS!"
I am sick and tired of the medias outside of Philadelphia taking these isolated incidents and applying them to all Philadelphia fans. You think I can't find incidents of bad behavior from New York/Boston/Chicago fans?
not all of us booed Mcnabb at the draft, not all of use give beers to little children, I wasn't around when they booed Santa(it was fake looking Santa and the Eagles were getting killed by Dallas), not all of us throw up on little children.
Most of us are very well behaved, and can't stand the ones that behave badly cause they give us all a bad rep and obscure the fact the Philadelphia sports fans are some of the most loyal, passionate fans in the country.

Oh wait..

No, it's a fail because Fuentes can't shut anyone down.

I know, but I thought that post(post 57 of this thread) was a response to my post(post 56 of this thread), yet I couldn't figure out how. Hence the "?"

It was a strange weekend for me baseball-wise. Astros vs Yankees. I would never pull for my own team to lose, but I was truly torn over how to feel about Pettitte going against the Astros.
Pettitte has been one of my all-time favorite players for a long, long time. Probably my very favorite ever. I've followed his career from the beginning and seen him pitch more times than I can count. My fandom of the Yankees goes back a long time as well. The Astros are my team now (again), but in all honesty, I was glad he got the win. He has a fantastic record and our season is a bust, so that made it a little easier to pull for him.
In a game seven type of deal with a pennant on the line - no way. However, best start to a season ever vs rebuilding & cellar dwellers - yes.
Now - about that buzz saw named Posada - damn - two grand slams in two days, one from each side of the plate. Along those lines; People are always going off on "The best team money can buy" - but it's the Yankees farm that brought up Pettitte, Posada, Jeter & Rivera - the foursome that put it on us this weekend.
I'm sorry we didn't take two of three, but I never expected to. Yankees vs rebuilding - it could have been a whole lot uglier. Our guys hung in there and were respectable in defeat.

Isn't Cano a home grown talent also?
Of course, most other teams can't also go out and get a CC or a Tex. And a lot of them can't pay to keep their best players that they did develop.

exactly, you really any team other than the Yankees could afford the salaries that Pettitte, Posada, Jeter & Rivera now get and still afford to get other big time players? The Yankees are indeed the best time money can buy.
btw this guy, is a jerk

now if that had been a Phillies fan that did that, the national media would be all over it and would be saying "there goes those bad Philadelphia sports fans again" and bring up the booing of Santa and Mcnabb and all the other s__t.

I have no idea, but why couldn't it be a road game?
EDIT: I think it's Camden in Baltimore...

well its just that if you are going to make a pic about the mets, why not use their stadium?

I was listening to The Herd on the radio the other day and Colin was wondering if the seemingly sudden increase of perfect games and near-perfect games was due to a decrease in batters taking HGH.
This makes sense to me, but I'm wondering what you all think about it.

Nah. Were batters taking HGH in the 70's and 80's? How many perfect games then? Plus, steroids have helped pitchers as much as hitters.
Full disclosure - I hate hate HATE Colin Blowhard.

its possible. Yeah, there were as many perfect games in the 70's and 80's. But that was before the HGH scandal. Perhaps, pitchers adjusted to the batters on HGH by improving there pitching? Now that the batters are off the juice(I hope anyway), maybe these perfect games are evidence of the improved pitching. MAYBE.
In any case 2 perfect games in one month(3 if you count the one the ump blew), does seem strange when there have only been a total of 20 in the over 100 years of MLB.
