More Good Stuff from the Philadelphia Inquirer

[Robotech]

"How is it possible that Cody Ross and the rest of San Francisco's rodeo clowns are in command? How is it possible that the Giants are one win away from representing the National League in the 2010 World Series? No one has had troops that weak and won anything significant since Iraq took over Kuwait for a while back in the early '90s.

Before this series began, you would have had a difficult time finding anyone outside Haight-Ashbury's smoke-filled medical marijuana dispensaries who believed the upstart Giants would actually get past the Phils."


Gonzo: Phillies have all but wasted away | Philadelphia Inquirer | 10/21/2010

wow. Journalism at it's phinest.

What a bunch of fucking whiners. Give me a break.

 

[msgkings322]

Their sentiments are whiny and douchey but they are hilarious in the execution.

 

[gp956]

Still talking about The Phil's big three, and no recognition of the Giants big three. It's all about the Giants hitters smacking around their starters, and the inexplicable lack of offense for the Phillies.

Makes you wonder about these people as baseball fans in general. How do you routinely discount the team with the best pitching in the majors? Do you think that YOUR team is so special that they can take down any pitching staff at any time and couple that with YOUR pitching and you have a sweep. Did it ever dawn on any of these people that they in fact split a 6 game series with us during the regular season. Hope they enjoy watching US play baseball NEXT week!

The ESPN philth board is rife with whining...especially Kasanova Klown.

San Francisco Giants = Iraqi Republican Guard. LMAO!!!!!!!

This is the article from that douche that pissed me off the most.

Gonzo: In a bubble by the bay | Philadelphia Inquirer | 10/20/2010

My favorite exchange was with a mid-20s surfer type with a mop of shaggy blond hair and a bright orange Giants T-shirt:

Are you a Barry Bonds fan?

"Oh yeah," he said.

You've always supported him?

"Yup."

And you cheered for him today?

"Big time."

Great. I work for The Inquirer. Can I get your name?

"Uh . . . I'd rather not."

Why?

"I know he's a cheat, and I know how you're going to make it sound," he said. "I mean, people are going to read this, right?"

Hopefully.

"Yeah, like I said, I'd rather not then."

It's a shame. San Francisco is a beautiful city, a real-world paradise with stunning vistas - and it's wasted on people who can't get enough Bonds and MC Hammer and, even worse, can't bring themselves to admit it.

This son of a bitch not only has the gall to take his Philly homer ass into our yard, but has the Nuts to pick on our fans, and disrespect Barry in the house that BARRY HIMSELF built?

There is one rule I have for opposing fans in our park. You bow to the greatness of the Willie Mays statue and you pay respect to Barry's record.

If any of you going to the game see this guy:

Give him a swift kick in the NADS for me, and for Barry.

wow. Journalism at it's phinest.

It's called passion.

Maybe you guys can forgive professional athletes for stealing your money and underachieving, but here in Philly, we believe in the old adage of "an honest days pay for an honest days work" and can't or won't accept anyone who doesn't or won't give a full 100% effort.

Fucking sue us for expecting better.

 

[TOX1]

....and for the record, NOBODY here in Philly find this Gonzo pussy as informative or entertaining, so don't paint one moronic asshole as the majority, alright?

From the looks of him, and the tone of his article, I think he's perfect for philly.

Ok, we won't, but about these moronic assholes?

All I'm saying is that this isn't a stereotype you're going to beat, I even have friends that grew up in Philadelphia that tell me all the shit you hear in the media is true.

There's a difference between demanding honest effort and whining about:
a. Charlie Manuel being a moron;
b. JRoll being done;
c. The unfairness of the 2-3-2 format;
d. Booing fucking Santa Claus; and
e. Projectile vomiting on an opposing fan.

I see a lot of a-e and not a lot of honest criticism. But hey, I'm not an East Coast guy.

+1. My bro-in-law is from Philly. Great guy, but he admits that phillyfan is the worst when it comes to behaving like a decent human. And that fucking Eagles fight song is retarded.

Well, just my opinion is that the Philadelphia fans who admit that most Philadelphia fans act like complete assholes are the cool ones, whereas the ones who deny it are the ones who act like complete assholes.

Stereotyping = the argument of the idiotic.

Well played girls.

I understand the passion Toxy. If it were written by a Philly fan on a message board I wouldn't have said a damn thing. I just thought the journalist(s) was/were throwing their own players under the bus all the while not giving the Giants pitchers any credit. The Phils have a damn strong lineup filled with good/great hitters. The Giants do not have that. They do however have a lineup of all-stars in their rotation and pen.

I think S.F. is a MUCH easier place to play in then Philly (as far as abuse goes), but we get just as mad when people are stealing money. See: Benitez, Armando.

Anyway, much respect to you and your Phils Tox, they just ran out of gas this year. That's one hell of a team.
