Other Philadelphia Sports Thread IX

Dude, my mistake. I mis-typed.

I'm Philadelphia born and raised. I don't need to read jack.

As I said, I guess I've been away too long.

 

Mistake on my part. I can't see what you've posted from here at work.

 

Myers is gonna go postal tonight.

"We'll take batting practice like any other game and go play. We'll be all right."

These were calming words, amazingly so from a man holding an assault rifle.

Nothing eases the pressure of a World Series quite like the sound of machine-gun fire.

 

why does that make me think of the football scene in the last boyscout?

We are totally screwed now. Vegas has declared the Phillies the winners. So we can now be the first team to win 4 games and lose the world series. Typical.

 

You're wrong. I just sealed our fate above. Didn't you get the other messages?? LOL!!

 

Double-screwed:
1) Philly jinxed because LV declared them the winner.
2) I absolutely guarantee that every Philadelphian who bet isn't stupid, and bet on TB, so they lose their money and the world series.

 

This thread is at 452 posts. someone lock it and start a new thread with a post something along the lines of:

IF YOU SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT ANYTHING SPORTS RELATED IN SOUTHESTERN PA I WILL CUT YOU.

Do it for the puppies and the City.

 

Keep it up guys, this thread is hilarious!

Oh, and the epic collapse is imminent.

 

why does it need to close?

are you guys just trying to take yet another thing away from the fans? why would you do that to us? you're one of us afterall.

 

I'm starting to feel at home again! LOL!!

 

thanks for the explaination dilly-o

personally i love threads that live on for hundreds of pages. it's like a challenge. at least if i'm hoping a thread can go a certain length i can directly influence the outcome unlike sitting around watching a team blow a huge lead.

 

This thread should go on until philadelphia wins a title.....which is NEVER after half the city floats away down the delaware along with our new stadium

 

How about OPST X: The gurgling of doom...

I'm just glad we can blame this one on god almighty. He's screwed us plenty of times, but this time his right hand of vengance will be felt for decades.

At least.

*Muppet News Flash!*



The Tampa Bay Rays have just picked up Joe Carter on a 1-week contract!

 

You also know Hamels will blow out his elbow and need Tommy John Surgery trying to pitch in game 7 on Friday. In the first frakkin inning, that is...

 

Hey, he's got to keep his pimp hand strong
