    Chase Utley works out in the offseason at Athletes' Performance, where all who train are required to pledge that they do not use performance-enhancing drugs.


    Where did you hear this?

    Good for you.

    Oh and by the way, stop begging for other teams to win so your team can move up in the standings.

    Excellent win to regain first place in the NL East. Phillies playing great baseball right now and I see no reason why it won't continue.

    Got to admit the Sillies are a hot baseball team right now.

    Lots of time left, though, as the Mets were rolling like this at this time last year, and look what happened...

    You're of course right - Long way to go yet. But I'm quite pleased with the Phillies so far - and they are a very entertaining team to watch.

    Utley is so red hot, I don't think anything can put the kibosh on him. LOL

    "3rd place" - You mean a "place" you wish the Mets could be in right now because that would be an improvement. LOL

    Would someone shot old man Pedro and put that horse out of his misery?

  • You guys are 2.5 in the lead and almost playing .600 ball in June. You're a 2nd half team.
    Is .700 out of the question by the end of the season image

    I believe in the 2nd half of the season the Phillies have a chance to go undefeated. It's not impossible to win 81 straight games. I think one season we lost 81 straight games, so why can't we win 81 straight games?
  • joestalinjoestalin Posts: 12,473 ✭✭
    Oh man, Braves fans, that one HAS to hurt. Up 1 in the 9th, two outs nobody on and the Phils blow you all up. Victorino is the man.

    BAM

    ps....you all need John Rocker or something, your pen is bad and I haven't heard of any of them!

    I'm a Phillies fan, too, but in that division, I take nothing for granted. Atlanta and the Mets should have a better record than they do. Can't explain Atlanta, but I can't help but think the Mets should finally, finally hit their stride with Pedro returning.
  • joestalinjoestalin Posts: 12,473 ✭✭
    I can explain the Braves.....the Phillies are beating them up.

    I can also explain the Mets...they suck



    Q: What is the best offensive team in the league going to do with a legit pitching staff?

    A: Win plenty of rings

    ....class dismissed

    You're speaking of that team from Boston, correct ? image
  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    Plenty of rings huh? Last yr it was 3 and out. Before you guys talk crap your team should win ONE first.

    Good for you.

    Phils are gonna do everything necessary - this is obviously a special season and we have to take advantage of it...whatever needs to be done is what we gotta do.

    Mets fans losing their sense of humor Steve? image
  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,035 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Me likes it when Mets and Braves fans are ticked...cause that usually means the Phillies are ahead in the standings. image
  • joestalinjoestalin Posts: 12,473 ✭✭
    Man the Phils just ABUSED the Braves bullpen, mixed in with great pitching. If this is the best the NL east has to offer, then you might
    as well pack your bags.

    Hotlanta is ready to say bye bye to Victorino and gang.....next
