Phillies Offseason Thread

[ice grillin you]

id be all for the phillies doing the same thing to keep red sox fans out of the bank

i was there last year and it really wasnt that bad

their bandwagon died down a few years ago. the thing you can say about the phillies fans taking over dc is they all mostly legit...i mean of course the south jersey folks/delaware trailer trash gets in on the mix but at least they are from the delaware valley.

sox/yanks bandwagoners are pure bread follow the winning team type people and deserve the gas chamber.

a good 7 or 8 phillies games that no one outside of philly will be able to see. i especially love the 2 times the phillies are up against yanks/sox which means theres a 0% chance the game will go to any other outside market.

its terrific that i pay $125 to get every baseball game except for ones during fox's package, when im told which gave i have to watch.

farg fox. farg selig. farg this.

Just consider yourself fortunate that Bud even allows you to watch any games at all.  Ingrate.

Rumors are if Rube can find someone to take Fat Joe, they want to bring back Roy O

but no one will take blanton when they could just sign oswalt for the same money

Exactly. Who the hell wants Blanton?

Got this email from my friend this morning who lives about two miles down the road.  This is our good omen here in the islands for the upcoming season.  Oh, and of course Victorino's cameo on Hawaii 5-0 that airs next week (I think it's next week).

I was alone Saturday morning about 8am eating breakfast when the doorbell rang.   It was a guy in his 70's. And a woman a bit younger.  He was staying on our street rehabbing a surgery. They had a few gifts for me because they saw my Phillies wheel cover. 

The lady was harry kalas' widow, Eileen

I told her how special her husband was to us all with a few stories. 

Not a bad way to start the weekend !

someone will take him if the phillies pay a portion of his salary

[MDS]

I'd rather have blanton than oswalt

There. Someone had to say it.

[Don Ho]

I second that.

So apparently the Phillies are expected to get a 5 billion dollar TV deal when their contract with Comcast is up in 2015, and even possibly their own network...

[Rome]

Five BILLION?

That would be 250 million a year for 20 years.

How is that even possible?   Seriously, I've read the same number on the net but something doesn't add up even if the Phillies and Comcast start their own regional network.

[MDS]

it doesnt add up for them to start their own network...unless of course it was a joint venture with comcast where they also took on a bunch of college basketball and zesty local college football.

comcast is just going to give them a funholeload of money
