All right men - It's time for a NL East sigline bet

stevek · March 6, 2009 9:12AM

NL East fans only - Keep it simple...Sigline change begins as soon as the winning team clinches the NL East. Losers must place the winning team's pic, winner's choice of pic, in their sigline up until the final out of the last World Series game.

Yes, this one's brutal - No women or children allowed - Men only.

Note: I ain't gonna do it with just one or two others...I'd like to see most of the NL East smack talk regulars here participate or we'll forget about it.

Whose in? Participate at your own risk - those with weak hearts or thin skin are advised not to participate.

Ill play, wouldnt mind seeing a bunch of braves logos around here.

I'm in as long as Stalin is NOT...I don't wager with deadbeats, LOL!!

Stalin is officially barred.

lsutigers1973 · March 6, 2009 2:15PM

If Sweet Kevin is barred, count me in. I started my Braves smack talk a few weeks ago.

joestalin · March 6, 2009 2:31PM

Braves fans will be gone by June.

This also eliminates Kevin.

Good response - We're on, and of course anyone else feel free to jump in anytime.

This forum is gonna look so beautiful around September with all the Philadelphia Phillies siglines - I am really looking forward to that.

stevek · March 8, 2009 4:34AM

No hurry to post and get in - Bet stays open up until the All Star break.

stevek · May 18, 2009 5:38PM

Still open - What, no WinPitcher yet?

I'm already working on a pretty sigline for all you Mets and Braves fans as soon as the Phillies clinch the NL East - That will be a joyous day, and then it's on to the playoffs and another World Series championship for the greatest MLB franchise in 21st century history.

LOL @ stevek!!!!

You didn't bump this thread till the Phillies got back into first place.

That's pretty lame

Matt - the bottom line is are you in or are you too scared to participate? If you're afraid, don't worry about it, Mets fans should be frightened after the way their team choked the last two seasons.

I didn't run from that sigline bet - it was just a matter of negotiating the right terms. LOL

Good to see that you're in - the more Phillies pics in the siglines here come September and October, the better.

I can't remember his name, but this picture reminds me of some Mets fan who won't participate in the sigline bet

stevek · May 20, 2009 12:43AM

WinPitcher's response to the sigline bet on Youtube

stevek · May 21, 2009 9:28AM

Did ya see the way the Phillies just crushed the Reds today like a steamroller rolling over a grape? Come on Mets and Braves fans, admit it, the Phillies are just too good.

Any Mets or Braves fan who wants to concede now, they can do it with dignity and respect, and I'll have a nice Phillies sigline pic ready for them. Come on...ya know it's inevitable anyway - might as well concede now and get it over with...I'm just trying to save ya a lot more pain later, but I'll probably be criticized for just trying to help.

I guess WinPitcher chickened out. Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck....................................................

WinPitcher · May 23, 2009 11:50AM

lol That was a good one Steve.

Actually the real reason is with this Mac I have no idea how to post a pic in the sig line.

If you would accept me using a Phils cap as my avatar I'd do it.

Again that youtube clucking was perfect.

Steve - I'd never want to see you involuntarily change your avatar - We used to do that years ago on sigline bets and to me that was cruel and unusual punishment.

If you wanna go in, we'll think of something that is agreeable, when the Phillies win the NL East.

WinPitcher · May 23, 2009 12:07PM

Steve if you win the bet it wouldn't be involuntary.

WinPitcher · May 23, 2009 12:15PM

I'm in. I'm no chicken.

I'll do the avatar and I'll write something in the sigline.

You NL East non-Phillies fans wanna concede now, I will accept your surrender.

bigfische · June 2, 2009 8:49PM

Not worried.

stevek · June 11, 2009 2:30PM

Some Mets fans wanted to concede...sorry too late.

stevek · June 11, 2009 2:37PM

I've hired a team of designers working on some beautiful artwork to place in your siglines coming as bit later this year - I'm tellin' ya...you're gonna feel so honored and proud to have Philadelphia Phillies siglines.

And this forum is then gonna look so purdy I can hardly wait.....................................

stevek · June 11, 2009 3:00PM

Oh my goodness...one Mets fan just offered a large sum of money and his firstborn to get out of this sigline bet...sorry too late.

WinPitcher · June 11, 2009 6:26PM

I'm not concerned you guys still have to play 81 games at home this season.

I for see a Sillies team ending at 83 and 79

Chances of that happening are the same as the Dodgers moving back to Brooklyn.

I'm suspicious of the sig because it is signed with a Sharpie and I think Aesop may have died before Sharpies were invented.

stevek · July 19, 2009 2:32PM

Thought I may have forgot huh?

no no no......

bigfische · July 20, 2009 5:20AM

Not worried, pitching will prevail in the end.

stevek · July 20, 2009 8:04AM

As Aesop would advise, I'm not counting the chickens yet before they hatch, but I have been thinking about some great sigline ideas - involving a nice pic of Ryan Howard.

bigfische · August 9, 2009 10:01AM

Rut row, trouble in cheasesteakville?

That whistling sound you hear is two things, Ibanez falling back to Earth and baseballs whizzing by Hamel's head off that bats of opposing batters.

4.5 out and gaining, head to head next week.

bigfische · August 9, 2009 10:07AM

Oh and, ahem, what exactly is the game plan if the fish somehow take this thing?

All right men - It's time for a NL East sigline bet
