lol @ the magic

then dont root for the nba...its entirely possible (altho slighty homo) that you dont like all four of the major sports...but to root for a team not from your hometown makes you a horrible person

I'm with igy. If you're from Philly, you like all 4 Philly teams or none. You have 4 choices.

Actually, it would be only a single choice, not four, dummy.

4 choices = 4 teams to like.

Same thing, Magic Boy.

I like the Eagles and Sixers. Don't like hockey. Baseball team is Astros.

I'm from Rochester NY.

I'm a communist.

How the hell did you start rooting for the Astros?

I'm going to go to Minute Maid in may and berate Ed Wade while wearing my Brett Myers jersey. Maybe I'll pimp smack him just like Brett likes to do.

I weep at the thought of what they're not teaching this kid in that high school with ashtrays he attends in North Philly.

I started liking Houston because of Jeff Bagwell. There aren't any teams close to this area and every Yankees and Mets fan I knew were jackasses.

Wade has really improved the team this offseason. Too bad he stripped them of all their pitching prospects, which was the strong point of their system. Great time to do it too, with the rotation being terrible now and for the forseeable future.

So would Die Hard and Feva be the biggest Commies of all for liking both the Eagles and the Mets?

Ed Wade is a donkey who loves stripping farm systems down. The dumbass moves he made in Philly are a long list. But thank god the Blue Jays and Pirates were even dumber when they refused to trade Ted Lilly or Kip Wells for Ryan Howard when Big Head Ed was trying to deal him for the yearly acquisition of a shteinbag starter.

He also signed Pie In The Face Professional Tomas Perez in Houston.

Also; get ready for the trade deadline moves of middle relievers. Eddie likes those guys and he'll trade whatever he has to do to get the Geoff Geary's of the world.

I love talking baseball with Astros fans here. They just dont know how bad Wade is going to farg that team over.

Their offense is going to be pretty damn good though. I really like Bourn and Pence is going to be good for awhile too.

He's already signed Geary though.....really.

There aren't any prospects left to trade. My favorite move (even though it did get Tejada) was dealing away their clear #1 prospect Troy Patton, who is a left handed starter who throws mid 90s and has a wicked curveball. Have the job a couple of months and completely destroy what was left of the minors. The only guys that are "coming through the system" had a 5+ ERA in short outings last year. If those select few guys don't pan out, it could be one of the worst rotations in baseball.

I know...he accepted Geary in the Lidge deal.

And Geary looks like a seedling of Ed Wade.

But whats funny is listening to sports talk down here no one is bitching about the farm being depleted. And I agree with you, its a legit thing to complain about because its true.

Maybe he'll take Adam Eaton off Gillick's hands.

Boasting America because you were born there isn't half so compelling as boasting it as a chosen citizen. I chose the Eagles because I happen to be most righteous in all affairs, and justly aligned myself with them.

many of you born Philadelphians are just knee-jerk fans, and especially those of you who claim some kind of primacy for the accident of your birth.
