World Series 2008 Game 1 Thread

Postby FTN » Wed Oct 22, 2008 22:54:12

Joe Sheehan (8:02:01 PM PT): Last one.

"jessehoffins (Swarthmore, PA): Joe, I hate Howard (and love numbers) just as much as all of the other mets fans who find themselves in the philly media market, but, BUT... You don't go to the world series and then bench the player 30% of the world thinks is the MVP. Its just not a realistic understanding of baseball. "

I'll happily compare my understanding of baseball's basis in reality with that 30%.

Ryan Howard can't hit lefties and he's a poor defensive first baseman. The day either of these things changes, I'll stop calling him a platoon player and mocking the people who think he's an MVP candidate.

Honestly. This is where we are as a society. Facts just don't matter.

rev beez, how many rosaries the rays catcher need to perform after invoking the lord's name there?
Yes, but in a double utley you can put your utley on top they other guy's utley, and you're the winner. (Swish)

You've been a Phillies homer for a long time.
