BBTV Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 SRO tickets look like they're going for around $500. If they come down to around $250 - $300, I'll probably have to grab one.I wonder if they'll have the blue flag already hung before game 3 starts? I'd guess so, but there's not really any precedent to go by.

BB61 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Congrats, Philly. I'm a Dodger fan, but I'm also a Jamie Moyer fan, so I'll be pullin' for the Phils.You're also a Brian Barrish fan. And BBtV must obviously not travel the Boulevard that often -- 12 lanes of traffic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And BBtV must obviously not travel the Boulevard that often -- 12 lanes of traffic!Like I said, the NE is like another world to me - no reason to go up there. I've been to C&Ps on the Blvd. a few times, so I'm a little familliar with all the crossovers and other crap on that road, and the infamous intersection at Grant. If you don't live or work in the NE, is there really any reason to ever venture out there? Living in MYK, I'm usually in Rittenhouse, Center City, Old City, or South Philly (or NoLibs back in my younger days.)

BBTV Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I've been to the Mills. I'm glad I live in an area where I don't have to shop in that kind of environment. **I did pick up a sweeeet $600 Ralph Lauren raincoat there for $100 though.

BBTV Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Some of the classy fans from the North East arrested on Frankford near Cottman:A more civil gathering of fans in the same area:I'm sure the fans of Tampa will be just as excited "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

While technically correct (Wade was at the helm when the core of this team was formed) it's still weird to hear someone so universally reviled among Phils fans be spoken of positively.Me? I'm just pleased to see that the creation of the white banner didn't jinx the Phillies. I wonder if the outfield discs that used to mark the levels of championship seasons still exist anywhere ...

I wonder if the outfield discs that used to mark the levels of championship seasons still exist anywhere ...I loved those disks, and wish they could have displayed them somewhere in the Bank, even if indoors somewhere. The flags are OK, but a little too subtle for my tastes. Maybe I underestimate the intelligence of the average Phillies fan, but since they only have the year on them, it takes a little bit of thinking to understand what the colors mean. Not a lot, but just enough to pose a problem for your average Joe Sixpack.

Jays, Orioles, Mariners all were playoff teams under his watch, and all have never made the playoffs since he left.While that is certainly true, the core of this team (Utlely, Rollins, Howard, Victorino, Hamels, Myers, etc.) was in the system prior to his arrival (and all are either signed for a while or not eligible to leave.) I think Lidge is the only "star" that he was responsible for. He filled in the gaps with guys like Pedro Feliz, Jason Werth, Greg Dobbs, etc. but the team would be a winner (granted, not a playoff winner) without him. It's hard to imagine them in "ruins" for at least a few more seasons (though I'm not looking forward to the Ruben Amaro Jr. GM (AKA Ed Wade 2.0) era.)

Steve's is where I always go on South.And, on another note, I had Tony Lukes when I went to Game 1 of the Brewers' series....not impressed. Granted, it was Citizens' Bank Tony Lukes, but still, not doing it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Why do they call it "winning the pennant"? Is there an actual "official" pennant that they're playing for?At one time there was no trophy for winning in the AL and NL so you got to raise a pennant/banner. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
