Holy shit that was nuts, easily over a million people with the line going all the way from city hall to the sports complex. It would have been more if Septa didn't overflow the regional rails and stopped picking up people. I finally got home 10 hours later. I want these in poster form stat:Zep said:That was fun, never seen so many people in my life. Lets do it again!

In case anyone did miss Chase Utley being The Man, but I saw it basically every day for the past 8 months so it's nothing new.

I clicked your name just to see your reponse... WHY? It's not like 2007 here. I mean Rollins always was an asshat, and he never hit against the Mets in 2008. Mets went 10-6 vs. Philadelphia, props to them for winning it all. It's nice to know the Phils are gay for the Mets, they can't stop talking about them throughout the whole playoffs. Gives Omar and Co. incentive to do "Condom Night" when Philly comes to Citi next year.

If a Phillies World Series win lands in a forest with no one around, does it make a sound?
Or um... something like that.
CC is awesome but he's also a fat bastard and has a gajillion innings pitched. Signing him to a Santana deal is a risky endeavor that, frankly, the Yankees don't need to go for.
Teixeira, however, IS worth going for. Legit power-hitting 1B? And he's only 28? Break the bank for him I say. Only him though, as there really isn't much else in the FA market for the Yankees to address their needs. I don't know what the hell we're doing in center field next year, unless they decide to give Gardner or (heaven forbid) Melky another chance.

In what is to become the greatest sports year in recent memory - you wouldnt have known about the Rays or the Phillies (or many other teams for that matter that were making runs) if you were sticking close to Fox or BSPN - for nearly 16 weeks - all they showed was Yankees, Red Sox, maybe the Dodgers after Manny got traded - maybe the Rays in passing, and mostly empty words from the Mets.
But that being said - The season was close to the wire again. The Mets had the lead...but again, I dont know what it is... But they...closed the door on themselfs. They could have won it all this year.
But this series, while not as great as others (IMO its as good as some of the older contests of the past 10 or 15 years) showcases huge problems the Majors need to fix. Game 5's ratings was Beyond the pale in Philadelphia (51.1/68 HOLY SHIT) and Boston was shocking (19.8) and New York was suprising too (zep gave the numbers) but - the whole series is near BCS numbers. (You would have never had known it if you read the new york papers)
They need to get rid of Selig. NOW. TODAY. WE CAN ALL AGREE ON THAT AT LEAST.
Next, once a new Commish is in, revealuate the contract with Fox. Do what the NFL does and at least 18 of the games near the end of the season with playoff contenders and have the Local guys call the games - I dont know how it would be done, but it can be pulled off.
Joe Buck 1% of the time tries to be like Joe Garugolia - but 1% of a good Joe Buck isnt enough, he got to go. Carver as well. Hes like Billy Packer - good the first 10 years but needed to go when CBS ended its Baseball run. They need to get somebody who wants to call the 26 games throughout, otherwise give the contract to a network that dont act like it doesnt have another song out side of the Rocky theme.
Once that happens, they need to get some sort of a cap going. (OH, SOCALISM in the American Game? BLASHEMER!) When all they talk about is A-Rod, his Maddy Problem, and his $250 Millions that havent yet produced a world title - there is SOMETHING wrong. And now they want to get CC Sabathia? HE GOT RAIN ON BY BRETT MYERS DUDE! WTF STEINBRENNER? Philly just told you how they did it...FARM SYSTEM! LORD - 250 Million would have the best farm system in the history of earth but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. And you want Manny Too? Ok hes good but you have to get to the playoffs first...and worry less about how many Dallas cheerleaders Joba gonna mack on.
But anywho - heres to next season Oh and Mets fans.
I hope for the best, but please collapse again for me.
ITS OURS SUCKAAAAAAAAA!:lol :lol

:lol @ all the Philly fans thinking about the Mets first after winning the WS. Keep it up guys. It proves we matter more than yourselves.

If we don't matter how come you have to shove it in our faces? Keep lying to yourselves.
And it's so much funnier how mad you are when you just won. O god I was pissed you guys won, but it makes me feel so much better that you don't even know how to enjoy it and run to Met fans to rub it in hoping they would feel bad to make yourselves feel like you matter. Thanks :lol

I already know that for the rest of my life none of the teams I root for will ever win a championship. You can't make me feel more shittier about that than I already am. But it makes me feel better when idiot Philly fans make my Mets slightly more significant.
So if I'm ever feeling down about a Met loss, I know there will be Philly fans like you making me feel better about myself just a bit.

Quoted for truth. Philly acts like they beat the Mets or something... it's like they have an inferiority complex, I mean the ran their mouths ALL SEASON, pointed out supposed unsportsmanlike Met behavior (nvm they were the ones really doing it), then talked throughout the playoffs... I mean really, who's kidding who? They are enamored with the Mets.Kuroyume said:

Dude...nothing revolves around the Mets.
The Mets are the Mets. They are funny because they are almost always hapless. Sometimes, they play good baseball though.

You haven't been reading the papers then. Every round of the playoffs Phils somehow brought up the Mets twice each round.captmcblack said:
