i love jersey tees. I am not afraid to mess them up. With the real jerseys i always worry about getting stains on them

by uspsuperman on Aug 5, 2010 9:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

yeah, that too. Its also more practical to show pride with a player tee then a jersey. not as flashy. and you can wear player after player where jerseys you most only have one of.

This Brad Lidge guy, he sucks but he was 12 saves on the season thus far.

Is there someone who has been banned who might be creating a new ID?

Yes I am old. I remember the Phils good old days and their bad old days. Course, the good old days I'm thinking of were in 2009.

Wouldn’t amaze me if his rate stats wind up better in 2010 than 2009

That would be a huge lift for the team, sort of the way he really carried the offense in early 2009.

And at this point, we really need him to do so until Werth remembers how awesome he can be and Brown gets acclimated to the big leagues. Polly and Chooch can’t shoulder the weight by themselves.

Perhaps Raul can take over Moyer’s mantle of “get off my lawn” awesomeness for a while?

Damn, spillover thread at 600+ with the original ~550. We are cooking here.
