Cubs VS Phillies Series Thread.

[jvett77]

Jesus h.c! Here for 3 minutes and they’re playing like Dildoes. I paid 9 bucks for this! 2-0, Cubs.

No problem. Eflin will settle in and shut the door. Phillies will score runs and take the lead.

 

[jvett77]

OK.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Rather see Williams or Franco batting 3rd. Herrera has been cold lately. Flex is an idiot!

 

[Retroram52]

Again, this team has a Jekyll and Hyde personality and they just can't get out of their own way fast enough. It is rapidly becoming evident that Flex is an idiot, in over his head. From screwing-up productive line-ups, to routinely failing to adjust to the competition's strengths to provide a fighting chance for a win to failing to properly utilize his pitching staff during games, Flex is a complete fuck-up who basically has everyone snowed in the FO. He somehow convinced these bungling idiots that he has the answers to what ails the Phillies. What a flippin joke and I'll be surprised if this team actually wins the East and makes the post-season on merit alone.

Phils try to make some noise in the 4th but Hyde appears as Franco hits into the DP.

 

[Retroram52]

We are still down by three in the fifth.

 

[jvett77]

They better come back. I’m making a big investment in this game. $9 + $6. Yum!

You must remember those 50 cent soft pretzels from yester year. Hey, I guess the game has changed! They are stll good though. Real value = $1.00.

Geez, 9 bucks for a freakin' soft pretzel. I remember the days you could get a soft pretzel for 50 cents at the park, that's how decrepit I am. Good to see Yuengling Beer. Since it was sold, it doesn't travel past the Mississippi. I miss the occasional Honey Brown. What has this world come to?

No, only $6 for this huge pretzel! And only $9 for the brew. Prices are going up next year.

When I was a kid growing up in Philly, we had a guy that came around on a motorcycle with a sidecar attached. They
were 3 for a dollar. He smeared mustard on with a small paintbrush. SO GOOD!

Damn straight Northeast. I'd always wash them down with a fiesty rootbeer or Sassperilla soda as a kid and then when I got older, a beer of various brands.

Nola gets the nod today. Our best chance to win this series. Hope our bats come alive! GO PHILLES!

In those days soda came in real glass bottles! I would return them and get 2 cents back for each one!

We have a dairy out here in Phoenix that puts their milk in bottles and when you return them you get two bucks per bottle!!

That is great! Too much plastic in the environment today. Plus it may taste better in glass bottle.

 

[jvett77]

Why risk an extra base with no outs and you’re on second and the team is runs challenged.

 

[Retroram52]

When we get behind early in recent games, we apparently lose the will to power through and win. We are not a come-from-behind team as of late.
