It's baseball season

“Alfred Hitchcock presents: "The 2004 Phillies ~ A Mystery"”

“YEE-HAW!!!!!!”

“Geobeet, why not just go up to Reading and check out the R-Phils. They're playing pretty well this year (as always) and they have an awesome ballpark. Maybe they should trade teams with the Philadelphia team.”

“I just checked their schedule. They have no more weekend home games for the rest of the year. I may slip up for a Tuesday night game, though.

I have been known to drive up 422 for an evening game from time to time. I spent some time in the press box as well, when we had a kid playing in the Eastern League.”

“I have always enjoyed the R-phils. I have gone to other minor league team's games and R-phils are the best in the entire farm system. No wonder they practically sell out every game and have to add more seats every season.”

“Yes, Craig Stein and Chuck Domino have got it all down pat. They're both great people, too. It's just a fun place to see a game. Trenton is not far behind. They seem to have copied a lot of what the R-Phils have done successfully. Chase is another thing entirely!”

“down here in DC we have the Bowie Baysocks and they are in the same division as the R-Phils. They look like a local yocal team in comparison.”

“Once again the hometown nine did what it does best: stink up the place. If the Braves lost the rest of their games, the Phils would still not catch them.”

“Red Sox get a good jump early on. Yankees sweating bullets....”

“what happened to the Yankees?”

“not so loud Artex. Yes, we are on a roll right now, but I'm keeping a low profile. Gooooo Bosox!”

“I think a repeat of the 1967 World Series is in order.”

“True Pennsy.. but after that 22-0 spanking last night, there's some fun to be had.

Yankees SUCK!”

“1967 - Yaz wins the triple crown and Lonborg the Cy Young, but we still lost to Gibson and the dang Cardinals. Sooooo, NO REPEAT to that series.”

“I think the Cardinals are better this year than the 67 and 68 Cardinals.”

“The Cards picking up Larry Walker was huge. Kind of the icing on the cake, IMO.”

“Anybody wanna takes bets on how beers Geobeet has at the Phillies game tonight?”

“Geo is at the Fillie's game? Speaking of bets, he must have lost a HUGE onw. Dang, I wouldn't wish a Fillie's game on anyone.”

“Go Yankees!!! 26 Time World Championships!!!!!

You Can All Bite Me!!!”

“Uh..World Champions!!!

Gotta proof read my posts.”

“26 World Championships? Wow! That's almost the amount of runs the Indians spanked them with last night.”

“The Bosox are still the Bosox, they'll choke just like they always do!!!”

“Yeah, maybe.. but 22-0? The Indians? How much is the Yankmees payroll? Simply put, they got served.”

“got served, LMFAO!!”

“Absolutely! can't argue with that. As much as I'd like to. LOL”

“It is amazing that the Bosox trade away Nomar, start winning, and the Yanks start losing. Who-da thunk it?

I had two and a half beers, did a circuit of the ballpark, stopped in the clubhouse store and right away saw a faded Phutiles Jersey and thought "how prophetic," before realizing it was pink where it should have been red.

But we had a good time. I booed J.D. Droop and yelled "Larry" at Chipper. I impored the Phutiles hitters to ruin Jaret Wright's night and make Bobby Cox go back to Atlanta and beat up his wife. I guess I just wasn't good enough.

But J-roll sure can run. That man has two speeds: fast and slide!

It was still a fun night at the ballpark with good friends, and that is priceless.

p.s., they suck!

Definition: Third Base: Where Phutiles hitters go to die.”

“Last home game of the season here tonight, plus it's Thirsty Thursday. And it's a doubleheader, to boot. Plus it's going to rain. I'm taking my poncho.”

“Swilling beer under a poncho - priceless!”

“I briefly considered taking my silnylon tarp, poles, and enough line to erect a small covering over the seats where my brother and I will be sitting, in hopes of possibly luring young women to sit with us, but I don't think the stadium security people will let us get away with it.”

“Stadium security people seem to lack a refined sense of humor.

I mean, we pay the players' salaries. Shouldn't we at least be able to walk onto the field and discuss their work habits and screw-ups with our employees?

"Hey, Rook, this here thing's called a glove. You use it to catch the ball, not wave at chicks! Got it? Now try to make a play when the ball comes your way. And try not to screw up next time!"”

“We've got a shortstop on our team who's afraid to get his pretty uniform dirty. The most annoying thing about this behavior is that when a ball goes by him in the infield, he lifts his glove in that direction, as if he was trying to actually stop the ball!

Repeated attempts by me to point out to him the futility of this action have not yet yielded a change in his behavior, even when I point out the likelihood of his returning to single-A ball next year.”

“I had two and a half beers

Good gravy man! Don't tell me you wasted a good 1/2 beer??? Or did you dump it on the right fielder?”

“

"Guess what? I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance."”

“No Nigal, there's a hex on one guy's glove, another guy is getting married and nobody knows what to get for a wedding gift, ... they have some serious issues they're dealing with there!”

“Being a Reds fan I'm just glad it's almost all over. Go Bengals! Oh wait a second...”

“Nuke's scared cause his nostrils are jammed and his old man's here,
we need a live rooster to take the curse off Jose's glove, and nobody knows what to get Jimmy and Millie for their wedding present--there's a whole lotta #&%!$ we're trying to deal with--”

“Nuthin' like a good melee to stir things up. Last night, an A's fan shouted something mean at the Rangers bullpen. They started shouting at each other. Before you knew it, one of the Texass pitchers threw a chair into the crowd. Oops, ball one outside - it hit a lady near the loudmouth guy and broke her nose. According to the paper this morning, a police investigation is underway, as the woman may press charges.

Oh, BTW, the A's won in 10 innings....”

“Damn! You mean I missed Jeraldo Ravera Night again?

And remember, if a chair goes into the stands it's yours to keep!”

“I wonder what you could get on ebay for a "souvenir chair," and I wonder if you could get the guy to autograph it....”

“BONDS JUST HIT NO. 700!!!!!!”

“just watched it happen on tv. Not the biggest Bonds fan but congrats Barry.”

“The Marlins are not going to the playoffs this year, Ha Ha Ha Ha.

The Marlins are not going to the playoffs this year, Ha Ha Ha Ha.

The Marlins are not going to the playoffs this year, Ha Ha Ha Ha.

The Marlins are not going to the playoffs this year, Ha Ha Ha Ha.”

“Certainly doesn't look that way, does it? lol....”

“How SWEEEEEEEEEET it is!

The payback's a muthah!

Trader Jack sure looked cute last night while the Fightin's were circling the bases like the Indians did to the cavalry.”

“I wonder how many times this season he's said "I'm too old for this #&%!$."”

“now will the Cardinals squander homefield advantage thru the playoffs?”

“I could wish the Cardinals much success if Scott Rolen were not in the line-up.”

“he's much happier in Stl though. It's home for him.”

“you gotta love Jim Edmonds and Pujols. Those guys are ball players.”

“The Giants are God's appointed team. It is their destiny to win the World Series this season. All fans of other teams must desist from their blasphemies, immediately.”
