I doubt they'll get 40k, especially in the middle of the workday on a Thursday. But I definitley think it's possible 10k or so come out. As for the Wingz or Kixx having a parade, there simply isn't enough interest. Interest is determined by attendnace, tv ratings, etc. Something the Soul trump all the local "2nd tier" teams in. Why have parades for the NHL then? Their playoff ratings get beat by Chuck Norris infomercials, and isn't ice hockey just a bastardized version of field hockey anyway
Those old groups were horrendous (as was the team). The Padilla Flotilla? Thome's Homies? Blecchhh...... Howard's Cowards and Burrell's Squirrels would have been more apropriate.
Does anyone want to organize a group trip to see the Phillies before the season is over? I'm thinking Saturday, September 13th against the Brew Crew (3:55pm) would be a good game to get nice and rowdy at. Might also get a chance to recruit some folks, too. I wonder if we can bring the drum.....
"Our beer's better than your beer! Our beer's better than your beer!" "Brewers and Mariners, Sitting in a tree, Never won a World Series!" To the tune of "Get Back": "Go back! Go back! Go back to the American League!" "Roll out the Brewers..."
I'm thinking of putting together a proposal to stop the Eagles from playing the Panthers at home during the preseason. The last 2 years they have played the game at the Linc it's looked like the opening of 'War of the Worlds', tons of lightning, horizontal rain, etc. And I don't think a preseason game is important enough to be the catalyst for alien invasion.....at least let us win a Super Bowl first.
aah.. Making fun of poor people. Will the laughs never cease? BTW, were you at the branch on Dauphin? I'm with the Friends of the Free Library there.
are we facing their first team defense? if so, wow. we're doing well or they suck. (eagles game) scratch that, our red zone offense = poo
no, best game of the year would've been called after the 3rd inning implementing the mercy rule and all. FFS, i hate staying up until past my bedtime watching the phillies.
Over the last 2 games, Burrell is 0 for 12 with 17 LOB. wow. That's almost Travis Lee like production right there. I wonder if he is available? Maybe we could trade Hamels for him.
