Just like modern cards, I don't follow the nuances of modern coins - just like I'd rather have a nice PSA 9 of a 50's or 60's card versus some high priced modern card, I'd rather have a nice PCGS 19th century type coin than some expensive '09 or '10 coin.

I also like the vintage stuff myself. The only problem is that it's so difficult finding anything I like because the older stuff is so condition sensitive and if when they are mint, centering is unacceptable in at least 9 out of 10 cases. Modern cards are obviously readily had in perfect shape with perfect centering. >>
Particularly, my favorite Topps Baseball set, 1962, in which nice centering is difficult to find, and when ya do find it in high grade, ya pay through the nose for it - oh well, it's only money. LOL
Braves fans chirpin' away. But at least bigfische stays with 'em thru thick or thin...let's see if the other Braves fans are around posting when the Phillies are 5 games up again in the NL East.
oh brother - two straight bad days in beantown...but plenty of time left to turn the season around and do something...but where is Dallas Green or Larry Bowa when ya need 'em? Somebody has got to light a fire with this team, and it might be the job of the Philly boo-birds to wake them up and make them start earning their paychecks.
You're right, but let's see the standings in September. The Phillies will break out of this slump...didn't happen today but it will happen...however something needs to be done to get this team more focused...and if not...then there's always 2008 to think back on - that pleasant memory hasn't yet faded.
I'm not gonna guarantee a win for Sunday's game, but If the Phillies can't get motivated to win this game after two embarrassing losses, then they should be scheduled for heart surgery.
I know Jamie Moyer is really enjoying his victory last night. He has been on record stating that he cried during Gehrig's speech, before resuming his bullpen session.
Phillies have not been playing all that great, while the Braves and Mets have been playing over their heads, yet the Braves and Mets only have managed to gain a slim lead over the Phillies...that doesn't bode very well for the Braves and Mets hoping to win the NL East this season.
I drafted Cole Hamels for my fantasy team and would like to see a bit more dominance from him at least..,

Have to start facing the facts, the Phillies this season are losing games they would have won the past few seasons...the adrenaline needed to do what it takes to win certain types of ballgames just doesn't seem to be there.
Perhaps the hunger to win is gone. I hope not.
Oh well, can't be in the World Series every season I guess.

Well, to be honest, there's still a smidgen of hope I guess, but if the Phillies dip to double digits behind the stinkin' Braves, then I admit I'll have to begin focusing more on my Eagles at that point, and wait until next year for my Phillies.
<< <i>Nice win last night, don't do it again though. >>
Just wish the Phils coulda done it against the Braves.
I gotta give the Braves credit where credit is due, they've been winning the tough ballgames. But WinPitcher is right, still a lot of season to go yet, but at this point it's obvious it isn't like recent past seasons...I don't see the Braves or Mets folding up like before, and unfortunately it's the Phillies who looked like they were about ready to fold up, but games like yesterday sure do lift the spirits.

Phillies are starting to win games like they used to win games the past few seasons - doing whatever it takes to win. But the dam Braves keep winning as well.
Maybe the Phillies are contemplating a Zenyatta type close in this pennant race. LOL
Phillies will fold...too many mercenaries on that team now..

Braves and Mets playing well though.

Mets win.....again.

When does the usual Mets meltdown begin this season?
Will it start soon or will the Mets make it dramatic and wait until the last few weeks of the season to meltdown?
Phillies seem like they are rounding to form, and getting ready for the second half of the season, when the real running begins.
<< <i>Nice win over the Yankees - That's a good sign! >>
Yeah real great sign. Even the O's win once in a while.
Meltdown?
Rounding into form?
Did the Phillies really win? I usually know that cuz Walt shows up only then.

If I may offer some good advice to Braves and Mets fans as the second half of the season rolls on - Keep plenty of Jack Daniels handy.
Perhaps the hunger to win is gone. I hope not.
Oh well, can't be in the World Series every season I guess.

Babe Howard with a walk off home run!
Phillies finally waking up this season?
50% of the season remains, the Phillies are not out of it by any means.
And if and when they do get back on top the rest of the chirpers will be here chirping like mad.
Right now they are everywhere but here.

<< <i>The password is "suck."
You're right - 13 hits yesterday and 4 lousy runs. Story of the season is either no hitting or when we do hit, can't drive 'em in.
Complacency has set in with this team, as it does eventually to all winning teams...I just wished it hadn't happened so soon.

But unless I change my CU avatar to an Eagles helmet, that means I ain't quit rooting yet this season for the Phillies.
