This Is Gonna Suck: 2016 Phillies Season Thread

[ice grillin you]

The Tigers don't impress me at all so taking 2/3 isn't unreasonable. 

lol the phillies are -31 in run differential

I wouldn't be surprised by anything with these guys especially if the pitching holds up.

they have zero chance to finish above 3rd in their own division.....but ANYTHING is possible!

their next 25 games or so are brutal....they will def be under .500 then and well out of the division...and all this silly school boy excitement while cute will have seemed so ridiculous

[smeags]

yeah cause god for bid anyone find 1% of enjoyment out of some wins.

stupid school boys. all of you.

[ice grillin you]

ignorance is not a virtue

Little known fact... In every game they've won in 2016 they've scored more than their opponent. 

[smeags]

trend setters !

[QB Eagles]

Even the worst team in MLB ends up winning against the best team like 25% of the time (which is why the Phils swept the Nats), so I don't think expecting 2-4 is unreasonable. And I'm not even sure the Tigers are all that good.

[smeags]

nobody here is under any misconception about this team. not even J.

but it's not a bad thing to see them winning some games to fill the void until the eagles' mini camp starts.

[Rome]

Anything better than 0-6 is homeetastic.

Real talk.

fargin a right baby!

And that's why I said talk to me in June.

[Rome]

You understand that anything includes them going 0-6, right? 

[ice grillin you]

you said anything is possible if their pitching holds up....so when you said that you meant in the next six days?....

what about over the next five months?....you are at least admitting that NOT anything is possible...like winning the division for example

[Rome]

I never said it was a remote possibility.  I've said again and again and again and again that their hitting is putrid and the pitching has overachieved and will eventually be gotten to when teams get tape on these guys.  Nothing's changed there.   Nothing else has changed with respect to me enjoying the wins they've piled up so far.  It's been fun and quite unexpected.  Unlike you I can enjoy these wins.  I'm not a miserable prick who hopes they lose every time out.  You are.  Embrace it, trollio.

[ice grillin you]

so anything is possible over the next six days but no chance they make the playoffs....that actually reasonable I just didnt understand the idea what you would talk about pitching holding up or not holding up over less than a weeks time period

[ice grillin you]

that was a sick ass at bat
