Phils notes: Look out, Mr. Met!
Digg It!
-Apparently in an effort to escape reality, Philly fans have taken to huffing nitrous in the parking lot. I did a nitrous balloon once in college, then went to a Phish show, because hey, there's no way you can watch that boring ass band without the help of illegal drugs. But the buzz wears off in like 30 seconds, and then you're just stuck watching a Phish show with less brain cells and all the boredom.
-When the Mets were up 6-2, I said, "If they blow this game, the Phils are gonna win the division." The Mets blew it, and I stand by my statement. I really think we could be seeing a 1964 type meltdown. I think there is a chance the Mets don't make the playoffs. Here's a little gem from Paul Lo Duca: “It seems to me we’re all waiting to lose. It better change quick or in five days we’re all going to be home for the winter. You can’t play the game that way. It’s like a broken record every game.”
-If you missed the video I posted yesterday, then be sure to watch before tonight's game to get fired up.
If the Mets don't make it I think you should volunteer your time to provide Suicide Watch for PalestraJon!
And if there's a one game playoff Monday DON'T GO TO THE GAME! You know you're a jinx!
If there is a playoff game at CBP Monday I may tell the DH Quizo folks to sod off so I can go to it.
ESPN has a great rundown of the hilariously-insane National League tiebreaker scenarios I highly recommend (can't post the link, obv), but I still love the one that if just the Phillies, Mets, and Padres finish with the same record, the Phillies automatically win the division.
The Mets are melting down a la the 64 Phils. What's up with that?
What a low blow on Phish--they were far from lame. Now I really think Fitzgerald blows.
Tied for first!
MELTDOWN! MELTDOWN!
You're welcome.

That really was an unwarranted rip on Phish - not that's it's surprising that you'd buy into the cliche that Phish is boring. Hey, patience isn't for everyone. Anywho, go Phils!!
Let's go fish! (and unlike football fans, I can tell the differnce between fish and marine mammals). A fortnight ago, JGT left for football, because "the baseball season was over". I stayed right here, stating that I like this Phillie team more than any other, including '93. I was the biggest Met fan in PA in '69 when the Cubs suffered the biggest meltdown since the blackest of years (1964), but now I'm hoping they take the greatest choke title away from Philadelphia.
Posted after viewing the video - Man, whatsupwit the Yankees hat? Poser.
Saw a teeshirt tonight that said "Phuck the Mets."
Awesome!
Probably an old joke, but a first for me.
JohnniE-
If I'm not mistaken, I said that to you right after we blew the 8-2 lead against Atlanta. I hardly think it is fair to judge my loyalty to this team by comments I made after the worst loss of the season. Anyone who knows me knows how hard I've rooted for this team all year, and even last Sunday, while at the Eagles game, I sent the third quarter in a beer tent watching the Phils play.
Your loyalty NEVER in question, my man. I knew you were just steeling yourself for an inevitible collapse, which actualy occured, not here, but about ninety miles to the northeast. While watching Fri. PM's win at the Black Sheep, the only admitted Mets fan asked if we knew what "Mets" stands for. "Metropolitans", a few of us shouted. "No", he replied. "It stands for My Entire Team Sucks!".
