I was sitting there looking at all the major league teams and I was sitting scratching my head, wondering......
who can beat the Phils in 08? I just don't see a team out there. This is going to be sick!

MVP: David Wright
Cy Young: Santana
And we won't get swept in the first round either. The NL East title returns to Queens!!

the Mets can't touch Hamels, but now this guy Kendrick is going to be a Met killa.....better wheel out Pedro and hopes he regains
some of that 80's magic back!
not

Oh, and that payroll thing? Just another tired excuse as old as the hills, and guess what? Philly's payroll for 2008 is their highest ever, at over 106 million, so you guys aren't too far behind anyway in that department!
Get used to being shutout by the best pitcher in baseball: JOHAN!!

So while the Mets are the bookies favorite on paper, the determination and resolve of the Phillies players, helped along by a loyal and hungry base of great fans, wlll urge and root the Phillies to another NL East championship, the NL pennant, and ultimately a World Series triumph over the Yankees or Red Sox.
Secretariat was a 2-5 favorite, too, and just like him, the Mets will go wire to wire in '08!!

The Phillies are gonna be like a Secretariat this season, the Mets are a "Sham"
Although I don't think the Phillies will win the NL East by "31" games. LOL
Also if you remember, Onion beat Secretariat in a race ran a few months after the Belmont Stakes, and Secretariat was odds of 1 - 10 that day.
And the Phillies at 2 - 1 certainly is no longshot by any stretch of the imagination.
Oh, it'll be a joy watching a fantastic parade down Broad Street this year for the Phillies. Any NY fans want to drive down and enjoy our parade, the drinks are on me. I'll even pay for a few lap dances for ya! LOL

Hell, your beloved FSU Criminoles could probably beat the Phillies.

LMFAO

<< <i>Camels is a lock for 20 games this year as long as his bullpen doesn't screw that up. Dice K will be counting his yen in Pawtucket in a few
months!

Kevin he would have to take his World Series ring off to count all that Yen so I dont see that happening.
Thanks

Also the Mets have not spent 10x the money over the past 22 yrs.
Did you really think you could slip that by us?

Phillies - Tigers WS...sounds good to me.
All-time favorite athletes:
Steve Sax, Steve Garvey, Larry Bird, Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Andre Agassi, Karch Kiraly, Wayne Gretzky, Ichiro Suzuki, Andres Galarraga, Greg Maddux.
"Make the world a better place... punch both A-Rods in the face (Alex Rodriguez and Andy Roddick)!"
The Tigers remind me of their mayor..one and done.
I still see NO ONE who can even touch the Phils.

ahead of the Phillies.

<< <i>God I can't wait to bring this thread back up when John Maine and the Mets are 10 games
ahead of the Phillies.

Lemme think...didn't that occur before? Oh yea, it was last season. And then what happened? LOL

<< <i>Yeah the Phillies backed in winning the division then were bounced in round 1.

Ha! You and Jerry in denial trying to forget about the Mets monumental collapse last year. I don't blame you...I still think about the Phillies collapse in 1964. LOL
Bottom line - The Phillies got to the dance last year and the Mets didn't...and that ain't gonna change this season. I'm expecting the Mets with their band of overpaid, undermotivated, mercenary players, to foldup this year just like last year when the going gets tough. Ha! Ha!
But don't worry about it - You're still invited to the Phillies championship parade in the fall.

You have a better chance of the Sixers doing a miracle run in the NBA playoffs this year.
A: About 3/4 of the teams in the AL so either way......no WS ring for you guys.

me thinks you are just a tad over confident.
Yunel will soon be the best ss in the division.

With the Phillies last championship in 1980, 28 years ago...and the Eagles last championship in 1960, 48 years ago...the only thing I've got left is overconfidence figuring one of these years soon the odds have to even out with Philadelphia teams winning some championships. ! mean a Philadelphia championship should be due to happen, right?

At least you have pro sprts in your town.
That is depressing.

After that hopefully the Mets.
If all that fails the 4 teams in the AL could.
I hope this answers your ridiculous question.
Edited to add: BAM
