Why does anyone care what some guy named Dave Cameron says?

Because he is a prominent writer for a prominent baseball blog, so people listen to him?

What year was it that Joe Sheehan picked the Mets to win the division in July when they were like 9 games back? Was it 2008?

2009? The Phils weren't leading the division in July of '08 right? '07 was the monumental collapse. '08 was a mini-collapse. '09 we wuz ballin'

No one should care. It's clear that these guys are just doing this to get attention. It's their job. And it works. There are more Philies fans out there than pretty much anyone else and stuff like this gets a rise out of them.

I suppose he could be right if the Phillies offense is "not even close:" to that of the Cardinals, presuming they're number one.

I don't have the gumption to look it up though.



I just wrote "gumption".

I guess. I don't read Cameron's columns anymore, so I'm not sure how that helps their site traffic. I can't imagine I'm the only one.

I can still hate the guy's opinions though.

Forbes lists the 10 most popular players in baseball. There are FOUR Phillies on the list. http://tinyurl.com/3fancg6

How Chipper made it over Chooch is inconceivable.

Does Chipper get credit for how many people hate him? Otherwise, no Barve should be on the list.

Team shouldn't allow players to impregnate their wives accept during the months of April, May and June. Rube will prolly start working that clause into FA contracts pretty soon.
