Dear National League Hitter,
Please do not lure Cole into a bar, buy him drinks, then let him get into a brawl.
We need a full year out of him to recoup the medical expenses, let alone his salary.
Regards,
Phillies Management
Phils will reach the World Series this year.
I'm hoping for a Phils - Yanks WS with the Phillies getting payback for 1950. But beating any AL team in the WS will do.
Thank you very much. Can you pitch on 1 day rest?

A) Go out and pitch a complete game 5 hitter!
...and make Barry Bonds look silly doing it! Bonds running scared all game. Go break your record against some middle set up guy!
Did I say 20 game winner yet?
......yes I did.
Sincerely,
8-2
......yes I did.

You also forgot to say Phillies barely .500 team will be lucky to finish in third place.
Let's Go METS!!

Last time I checked the standings, Sillies were 5 games back of Atlanta, and 9 back of the Mets...have you read a paper lately?

Can we just both finally agree that I know more about football and baseball that you? I mean, doesn't this thread prove it all?
I knew you would understand.

Ummm, no, lol, but that is funny!
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. That's how I regard your sports "knowledge".
You've been back to the woodshed so often with all the loser teams you've rooted for over the last few years, it was only a matter of time before you got one right!

It was painful just looking at those few who sat in their Shea Stadium seats until WELL after the game ended with just utter disbelief in their faces. There is NO JOY watching a scene like that .... getting ousted in the playoffs in one thing. What has happened to the Mets fans here is just a HUGE KICK below the belt.

(Trying to stay upbeat)
Willie has done an absolutely AWFUL job during this collapse. He makes Art Howe look fiery!
Hard to believe no one on the Mets (outside of Lo Duca) seems to even freakin' care!
If they do blow this lead, I hope Wilpon fires his a$$!

Managers get far too much credit and far too much blame...put this blame where it belongs: squarely on the backs of the players who have disappeared in September.
Can't fire the players.
The lack of passion, fire, intensity, urgency, etc. is a reflection on the manager, IMO. Otherwise, why fire Art Howe, right? Why fire any manager in that case? Bottom line is that someone must be held accountable for such an epic collapse and the manager is the usually that guy, like it or not, though Minaya certainly deserves blame for his poor decisions with regard to the bullpen staff this year.

<< <i>

Sure you can, you can fire anyone by trading them.
<< <i>The lack of passion, fire, intensity, urgency, etc. is a reflection on the manager, IMO. >>
So all season long when they've been playing well was he the reason, then in September and the players collapse it's his fault too? Or perhaps the team hit a cold streak at the worst possible time? Happens ya know. I am by no means a Willie fan, but to say his team's performance is somehow his fault is a bit silly to me.

Why fire managers? Because it's cheaper and easier than looking at rebuilding a team. A manager doesn't need to yell to get his players motivated, these players are the best of the very best, they don't need a manager yelling at them to get them motivated - they wouldn't be where they are if they weren't tremendously self-motivated.
To call for Willie's firing is looking the wrong way - look at the players who have betrayed you. Where's Reyes been? .298 OBP in September for your ignitor is inexcusable.
But who knows..there are still 2 games left and 2 ways the Mets can still get in, however unlikely.

<< <i>The other possibility is that the players have quit on their manager. Maybe they want Willie toi be fired, because like it or not, the manager usually absorbs the blame for a collapse like this one, the BIGGEST in MLB HISTORY!
But who knows..there are still 2 games left and 2 ways the Mets can still get in, however unlikely. >>
But the players haven't quit on him...Wright, Beltran, Delgado this September are batting at or above their lifetime averages....perhaps it is indeed just bad luck, with a dash of bad Reyes?
Again, I think far too much credit and blame goes to the manager. These losses piling up aren't solely, or even largely his fault.
And yes, Reyes has been cold at the top of the lineup at the most inappropriate time.

So you admit that the Yankees choke in 2004 was not as bad and there were some happy Yankee fans in Yankee Stadium then while the Red Sox celebrated the pennant.
"The answer was in the Patriots eyes. Gone were the swagger and c0ck sure smirks, replaced by downcast eyes and heads in hands. For his poise and leadership Eli Manning was named the game's MVP. The 2007 Giants were never perfect nor meant to be. They were fighters, scrappers....now they could be called something else, World Champions."
a super bowl this century!!
Honestly, I don't think you all watch sports.

My advice...Buy all the Cole Hamels rookies you can, BUY ALL THE COLE HAMELS ROOKIES YOU CAN. Twenty years from now you'll be able to sell the cards for beautiful homes in both Beverly Hills and the French Riviera, with a Maserati, Lamborghini and Rolls Royce for good measure...and don't forget the 75 foot Yacht as well.
