Did anyone just hear what I just heard at the rally? Networks are probably angry :lol
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.
That...That...
Is a post from someone who is mad.

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:The Phillies revolve around the Mets. They're nothing without the Mets.
Don't trust him, Frank.Zep said:Frank, I loved that post so much...I wanna buy you an italian ices at the new stadium. Just tell me when we'll meet up @ Citi Field next year! I should be in the country in the beginning of May and I won't stab you on the 7-train, promise.

You haven't been reading the papers then. Every round of the playoffs Phils somehow brought up the Mets twice each round.captmcblack 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.
But its more than 20! .....ok nvm. still though. 22 years, thats a long time.pollo said:22?

This just in. . .
Ruben Amaro Jr. is the new Phillies general manager.
Sources close to the situation confirmed to the Daily News' Paul Hagen that club president Dave Montgomery met with assistant general manager, scouting and player development Mike Arbuckle yesterday and informed him that he had lost out to Amaro in what had been considered a two-man sweepstakes.
Arbuckle, who was hired by former general manager Lee Thomas before the 1993 season, then informed Montgomery that he will be leaving the organization to pursue other opportunities, the sources continued.
An official announcement is expected Monday.
The decision to hire Amaro, 43, is hardly a shock. There was strong speculation when Pat Gillick was hired three years ago that he was brought in, in part, to mentor the young assistant.
Amaro, who was often presented as the public face of the Phillies front office as Gillick preferred to operate of the spotlight, is heavily involved in many aspects of the organization, including contract negotiations. It was Amaro who introduced closer Brad Lidge and spoke for the organization when the Phillies announced his contract extension earlier this season.
Amaro has strong Phillies ties. His father, Ruben Sr., played for the Phillies and then worked for the team in a number of capacities. Ruben Jr. was a batboy for the Phillies from 1980 through 1983, and also played for the Phils in 1992-93 and 1996-98. He is also bilingual and a graduate of Stanford.
Nevertheless, Arbuckle's qualifications merited strong consideration. One of the first things Montgomery mentioned on the field in the giddy moments of euphoria after the Phillies clinched the teams first World Series title since 1980 on Wednesday night was the many homegrown players who had made it possible.
And it was Arbuckle, 58, who supervised the drafts that netted Ryan Howard, Cole Hamels, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Brett Myers, Pat Burrell and Carlos Ruiz. It was also the system that provided the players (Michael Bourn, Geoff Geary, Mike Costanzo) that allowed Gillick to acquire Brad Lidge last November.
It remains to be seen if others in the scouting and player development department will follow Arbuckle out the door.
Amaro, who has been mentioned as a candidate for several general manager positions over the past few offseasons, will represent the Phillies at the GM meetings in California starting Monday.
well then, they suck.Jazzy Network said:Joke post? There's a good amount of teams that have gone without a championship for longer.
As the butt of a joke, like the Mets organization has been for the most part in the past 20-odd years.The Frankman said:You haven't been reading the papers then. Every round of the playoffs Phils somehow brought up the Mets twice each round.
