Oh well yeah, Eagles fans at games are hooligans. I would never go to an Eagles home game.

Phillies fans who go to the games are mostly from the suburbs though, which are actually pretty ritzy. Expensive houses make it like a completely different world from Center City.

Given the Cardinals' bullpen, if we don't come back then we totally deserve whatever happens to us this series. It would seriously be unacceptable to not score a run or two these next two innings.

I have no faith in us to win this series now.

And Charlie Manuel is as much at fault for this as anyone. Seriously used Ben Francisco as a pinch hitter in the seventh instead of John Mayberry when he needed someone to just get on base, not to mention he started Raul Ibanez again for no reason other than loyalty. Raul Ibanez, the guy who is so awful in left field that they sent the runner every time a ball was hit that way and only got caught once (which was a shock in itself).

I really hate Charlie Manuel right now.

He also used Brad Lidge that year. A lot. Whether or not that contributed to losing the WS, it was stupid to do.

He just really sucks at smart decision making. Every Philadelphia coach/manager has this problem.

Third and Goal with inches to go. A light, agile but physically weak offensive line. A quarterback who's a threat to run or pass.

And Andy Reid somehow thinks the best play in this situation is to jam nine guys on the line and hand it off to run it straight up the middle.

Every. Single. Time.

It's never worked for him. It's never going to work for him. The other team knows he's going to do it as soon as they see nine guys crammed together on the line. Nine guys who they can overpower.

But Andy Reid keeps doing it. There's no other explanation. He has to be the stupidest man on the face of the Earth.

i think for every single time any fan, be they mets, phillies, whomever says the yanks buy a WS...

look at the phillies this year. It's so 100% evident they're gonna win it. And ti was bought really. The dump of nearly their whole farm for halladay. their splurge on lee. another send off for oswalt. Hamels is the only home grown talent that's gonna win the post season for them, the other guys aren't factors yet.

So yeah, baseball is changing fast.


I think history shows that you can't really buy the WS, though it helps. The 1996-2000 Yankees teams were more homegrown than bought, and the salary only reached ridiculous levels when they stopped winning the WS past 2001. And the Yankees have 1 WS to show for almost a decade of 200M+ salaries since then.

You can buy your way into the playoffs, but the marginal return on each dollar spent past that becomes very thin.

well yeah homegrown talent and a farm system are extremely important but without the ability to buy a big name, or multiple big name playmakers you can't really win it outside of one or more flukes.

look at 2001 diamondbacks. without their short term pitching acquisitions they never win... it was a "win now" attitude they can't replicate now.

"home grown" isn't the noble enterprise it's sometimes made out to be. The rich teams get more picks (compensatory), and can afford to pay for guys, and can pay for international free agents. Mid-market teams that want to compete push for reform, but most teams prefer to have the top ~8 teams continue to reload because of revenue sharing.

What's annoying about MLB the Show 11 is that Manny is a top level free agent, meaning he resigns with a team.

Funnily enough, I was playing a game against the Red Sox and lo and behold, Manny comes up 4th. I wasn't paying attention to the lineups then all of a sudden he comes up. Laughed my ass off.

From what I've gathered/observed, Eagles fans at games are more "physically" trash (Flipping the 'bird', throwing bottles and the like) and Phillies fans at games are more "mentally" trash (Booing Santa Claus, cheering for other players being injured, etc).. though I suppose Eagles fans fall into both categories.
