"We're Off." Yessiree. Is yessiree a word? Hey Blat is yessiree a word? ......................................................................................................................................................................................Blat!!Yas Sample, I ist thanking!! Yassireee!! Thank you Blat. Phew what I go through around this place..
OK.. A subject I was trying hard to broach but can't.. The Phightin's go down 1-0. Halladay give up the one run, they get tossed from the playoffs..This all the day before vacation.. I really look forward to the days that me and my brothers can all be together and watch a sporting event.. None more than the Phillies in the playoffs, or better yet the World Series.. I even had an old Cliff Lee shirt in my duffel bag..Yeah, I don't have a suitcase..So, we kinda left on a sour note, but what really was amazing, no one brought up the game that had just gotten over five hours before we met at the airport.. It was like no one wanted to talk about it.. That my friends is true Philadelphia.. It was like we talked around it the whole time we waited for the PLAIN to take off. Even on the trip if it was mentioned, you sorta got a wave of the hand, like I don't feel like talking about it..Hey, me either., but here at Plain and Simple, I have to express my opinion.. I honestly didn't see or read any Phillies news the whole time I was away..I really didn't watch that much TV, and I naturally didn't hear the local ballyhoo, about what happened..I did catch up a little when I got home, but honestly not much. So, this is just my take on The Philadelphia Phillies Players and organization..Baseball is really a strange game.. It honestly does set you up for failure..The best players bat in the 300's. That means they fail 2 out of three times..If that were the real world. you wouldn't last a month...So, starting from there, let me just say, and this is not sour grapes.. I think the regular season, should be cut back to 156 games again..I also think the playoffs all should be 7 game series.., this would def. give the teams that won the most games an advantage, as they well deserve, because they won more games during the grind that is the regular season..It won't happen, the way I would like too see, but I could see them still playing the 162 games and having 7 game playoffs.. That may happen, it won't help the 2010 or 2011 Phillies, those seasons are history..OK, what I did hear and read since my return was get rid of this player. I even read a column where they compared Charie Manuel to Andy Fucking Reid, are you kidding me.. Charlie Manuel and Andy Reid are so far apart in their appoach to life, and coaching styles that this article was just a figment of someones imagination.. Number one Charlie Manuel is a West Viginia guy, that will throw back a shot and a beer with anyone at anytime, he is loyal not only to his players but too his hometown in West Virginia, where he said he will one day retire to.. Let me tell anyone that thinks Manuel should leave.. You better hope not.. Reid on the other hand is a Morman, how many Mormans do most Philadelphians know, and how many Philadelphians know anything about the Mormons in General.. Let me just put it this way, he isn't, now nor will he ever be anything like anybody we know.. Go the fuck back to Bringham Young and teach them the Andy Reid version of the west coast offense.. He sickens me, with his pompous fucking attitude and all knowing demeanor, about anything, anywhere related to his universe.. Get out Piggy.....You better hope he does, because there will be no Super Bowl under this administration..If they had lost Sunday, I wonder if Beetle Juice would have been under the scope to get rid of his fat ass...
Back to the Phils. Basically leave them alone..The pitching staff is the best in baseball, and can only get better with the infusion of the young bucks that helped them this year...Around the horn..First Base, is going to be Ryan Howard, who after rehab, should be hitting 30 or more home runs and driving in 100 or more RBI'S in the regular season.. Has he been a bust in the playoffs? Yes, somewhat, but so has the whole team.. He is still, and will be an integral part of this organization for many years, like it or not he is here..Second Base, you
have, one of the biggest gamer, and team leader this town has ever seen, he is only 32 years old. Has Chase Utley been injured? Of course, has it robbed him of his power and his baseball knowledge?? I guess his power maybe in some degree, but I am not even sure of that. I think that he will be back as strong and play up too his capabilities at a high degree for at least another five years.. If his body holds out, he will go down in Phillies history as their greatest second baseman of all times.. Gotta run be back later, for your thoughts and inspirations on anything Phillies...

HE'S BACK>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LOL OR I SHOULD SAY THEY ARE BACK>>>>>>YEP THEY IS THE RIGHT ANSWER>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Little time here, let me continue with my take on the Phils.
Short Stop. A question mark. I like Jimmy Rollins, seems like he has been around forever, but once again only 33. I don't know what will happen at this position, but I think, they will try their best to sign him, maybe 4 years..Don't know..
Third Base. Placido Polanco, was a hurt ballplayer, he is a career 300 hitter. I once again don't know at this position, he will have surgery and will he be ready for spring training? He is 38 years old. I would like to see him one more year, playing healthy and go out a winner..
Cather. It is Chooch and nothing is wrong with that. He is a player..
Center Field. Victorino is what 30? He had doubles in, home runs, triples, doubles, stolen bases. He is your centerfielder for the next five years.
Left Field. Time too say goodbye to RAULLLLLLLLL. He was a good fit with this team, but a young 28 year old John Mayberry looks like a good option. Makes the team younger and seems like he stopped getting himself out..
Right Field. Give Hunter a whole year with this team and he will show you what a player he is.
In ending I would like to say. Getting beat in the first round of the playoffs is a disapointment. I would also like to say, that making the playoffs for the past five years is quite an accomplishment in baseball.. Anyone that grew up when I did and watch the Phillies teams that I did appreciate this team a whole lot more than most fans. They are winners, they will be as popular and as good next year (barring the injury bug) as they have been for the past five. They will contend for the Championship.., and that will be fun.. If they win it that would be great.. Sit back don't criticize and enjoy the ride..I promise it will be a good one, and remember one thing the only thing we have any control over is if we want to go to the game, or if we want to watch it on TV, or if we want to express our opinions to our family and friens. This is the team from Philly. This is our team. I enjoy these games. I like these players, and I think these good vibes with this admiistration and fan support will go on for years. Just my humble opinion..
Simple, comparing Charlie to Piggy is incomprehensible. I agree w/everything you said. Cripes, the newscaster and fans acted like the Peagles won the Super Bowl when they beat the Redskins on Sunday. Wake up Peagles fans they are not and I repeat NOT going to the Super Bowl. I love my Phillies and nothing anyone says will deter me from that love!!!!!! Can't wait for Spring Training and starting all over again. How can you down a team that has made the playoffs since 2007 and did bring a World Series Championship to Philly? Glad you guys are back safe and sound and I'm sure with many stories to tell us.
Simple what the hell does Mormon have to do with it ? I think you meant Moron, because thats what he is and the whole Organization sucks,Did you see when McCoy punched him in the fat ass tummy his OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF blew 4 players over.I hope they lose every game.Hmmmmmmmmmm Phillies I think your right on, they need a few tweeks tho,still Like to see Mike Young from Texas come here nods and walks away.
As much as I hate to agree with Simple this time I have to. Go get those unruly, unfaithful fans. The Phillies gave us a great ride and it was alot of fun. Something not too many cities have seen, but at the end of the day it is a "GAME" - if they had beat the Cards, except for going to or watching the next games, did it change anything you did the next day? No, and since they lost did that change anything - I think not. Get over it next year is a new year and another GAME!
Very Profound Sara and wb, I had to agree with him too damnit, on the Phillies anyway.Now where the hell is Catey ?
You know it is not everyday that people agree with my Simple ass, but I do believe the true baseball fans, find it hard not to agree with my statements. I am just trying to look at the Phils objectively and logically. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I think mine (for a change was pretty much on.) thanks for the support (especially Sarah) cause the only thing her and I agree upon is that Me and Floyd were a package deal. lmbo...
Yessiree! They're baaaaaaaack!
Well guess I gotta root root root for the Cards, should be a great series.
This is Edward R. Murrow signing off.. Ha Haa HA ahhah. It is just me Simple. I am not really Edward R. Murrow. I was only joshin..Little known fact. The word joshin, became synonomous, with kidding around, or joking back in the days of the Wild West.. I think I may have lived another life there. Anyway as the tale unfolded years ago in Dodge City.. There was this ranch hand named Josh. It was a well known fact that on pay day Josh liked to come into town and get totally deranged on alcohol.. Now, because Josh worked out on the range, the people in town didn't really know him that well. Sooooo, when he would ride into town with his six guns strapped to his legs, and being a rather large fellow, people would just get outta his way..well Josh liked this and at times he would draw his gun and twirl it on his finger and throw a can up in the air and put a bullet through it, people were in awe. He would just push his way past them and walk into The Long Branch Saloon. yep that was the name of the bar..and order up a bottle of whiskey.. Then he would start to get all fucked up and offer to fight anybody in the place. No one wanted any parts of Josh. He would take his guns out and shoot up the place then jump on his horse and shoot his guns off as he rode out of town.. Well one day a stranger rode into town. He was packing a six shooter on his hip the likes that nobody had ever seen before. He got off of his horse strode into The Long Branch Saloon, yep that was the name of the bar.., and said excuse me sir to the bartender, may I have a shot of whiskey.. The bartender said sure stranger..When all of a sudden who busts through the two swingin doors but Josh the bully, yep that was his new name. As he sidles up to the bar every man in the place jumps out of his way..except the stranger. Josh looks at the stranger, and the stranger whips out his pistol and puts a round right between Josh's eyes. Down goes Josh deader than the proverbial door nail.. The stranger put his gun away, drank his shot, and stepped over Josh's dead body.. A couple of guys in the bar looked at the dead body and said you GOTTA BE JOSHIN ME!!!!! yep, you heard it here first on Plain and Simple..
Well after that wondrous tale of the old west, this Simpleton has to go catch a couple of innings of baseball. The critters are happy I am back and all are in the bunker tonight, because once again it is one wet ass night in the pine barrens. I also had too do in three different spiders, each of these bastards were of a different breed. Don't exactly know which one as I am not an entomologist.. How ya like that word?? I think that is the guy that studies bugs.. Anyway I am locking down for the night.. It ain't that fuckin good to be back, in fact I wish I was still in South Florida. Hell of a lot nicer than these pine barrens of New Jersey.. I love that when people go on a vacation to some exotic spot in the world, then come home and say, it is good to be back... Why the fuck is it so good to be back?? So, you can get your ass soaked to the bone, so you can go back to work, so you can prepare for winter. I don't get it why the fuck is it so good to be back.. Bullshit.. It ain't that fuckin good to be back to me.
