Hes still a phillie in my eyes.

[PokerFink]

lol I just saw a replay of the Marlon interference, ye gods, definitely the right call.

Um, buddy, you can't extend your arms and push the 2nd baseman over, mmmkay?

does anybody listen to the SNY broadcast of these games? it's the only way I can watch this series vs. the Mets, and I have to say that they are such ridiculous Mets homers. I'd rather listen to it without volume.

it's [censored] annoying as [censored] how they can't go a sentence without mentioning that Citizen's Bank Park is "such a hitter's park" or "a bandbox." Gary Cohen today commenting on Burrell's homerun: "Well, the field may be cheap, but that homerun wasn't." It's just non-stop, and they always laugh at it as if they haven't made the same clever "joke" fifty (50) times that day.

It's like they have this [censored] annoying sense of pride for playing in Shea just beacuse it's a pitcher's park. These guys are seriously [censored] huge [censored].

Of course I always hated Wheeler because he is such a homer. Plus he tried to get Ashburn fired.

That's one of the big downfalls of sports broadcasting for a team. Most owners want a homer. They are just doing what the Met's ownership wants so they can keep their job.

I hope when the new Mets park get's finished they [censored] up the wind study and their park becomes a hitters park or even better it becomes worse than Comerica and they have to bring in the fences to get any free agents.

Oh, and what a ballgame tonight. Bush league [censored] by Marlon Anderson deserves that kind of outcome.

I've come to the conclusion that every home announcing team is like that. Even as a huge Phillies fan, I'm getting sick of Matthews and Wheeler freaking out over every borderline strike call against them and explaining it away as a "pitcher's pitch" (a phrase Sarge has used about 79,540 times this year) when it's the other way around.

[Zach Belden]

i love sarge, wheeler sounds like a little bitch to me. callas is always solid

[hoyasnaxa]

No announcers are even close to as big of homers as the Nationals. I have heard all of them and its crazy, the Nationals announcers talk like they are watching their little kids little league team or something.

[Suigin406]

[censored], u guys are wiping the floor with us, i can't wait to get out of philly

[hoyasnaxa]

Lets go phillies. Kyle lohse for mvp.

[AbreuTime]

Pat Burrell for MVP.

[En Passant]

When one of my phillies brothers send me the article about Burrell that was posted three days ago. Its titled, "Inside Edge: A tale of two seasons for Burrell"
