This gets its own thread.

It's not so much the number of losses that amazes me (I mean 124 years of playing baseball), but the fact that it would take over 7 consecutive years of undefeated baseball to be back to .500. I wish they could've left the Vet around just to accomplish it there. I would've been clapping my ass off if I to witnessed it in person too.

Today, the world gets to join us in our frustration. I KNOW there's some other Phils fans out there...show yourselves!

Congratulations from a suffering Reds fan. It was long and arduous, but you beat us to the milestone.

7/15/2007 11:40:29 PM

i'm a phils fan (live in the lehigh valley when not at school). holla.

i really don't care about this though. one of the oldest teams in baseball, it's bound to happen.

7/15/2007 11:40:46 PM

Its too bad the Clippers don't play baseball

^and what more of an appropriate venue could there be

7/15/2007 11:56:45 PM

I grew up going to Phils games at the Vet. What a dump, but I liked it.

7/16/2007 7:40:14 AM

the CUBS don't have that many losses

not to mention ANY OTHER PRO SPORTS TEAM

but kudos to the Phil's

7/16/2007 7:41:38 AM

how could any non-baseball team have that many losses? Hell, they lose more games a year than other sports play (well, within 2 games) in a whole season.

7/16/2007 7:45:17 AM

i was supposed to go to the game last night, but my buddy backed out...

it's too bad, i'd have loved to have been there.

i would have rather seen it end in a 10-0 loss just for the irony.

true

no other sport has more than half the amount of games baseball does

7/16/2007 7:57:56 AM

Most losses elsewhere:

NFL: Arizona Cardinals - 664 losses
NBA: Golden State Warriors - 2565 losses
NHL: Chicago Blackhawks - 2391 losses
I-A CFB: Northwestern - 604 losses

we start a tough west coast road trip tonight, 3 vs. the dodgers then 4 vs. the padres.

Pointless thread.

I've never actually scene a douche before, so thank you.

7/17/2007 9:59:22 AM

what's scary is there is hardly have anything to work with in the farm system. that means relying on management to go out and get pitching during the offseason....which generally means huge contracts to old, broken-down arms past their prime, who were probably not that good in their prime either.

i was actually semi-optimistic this year until Rollins had to open his fat mouth in the spring...it was all over after that. and there is no help in sight.

7/17/2007 10:07:37 AM

Ha ha Jim Rome went off on this banner yesterday.

7/17/2007 12:22:57 PM

haha yeah, that's the reason I posted it

when he said something like "hey pops, why don't you hit up the spellcheck first," i bout lost it

WHY IN GOD'S NAME DO THEY KEEP THROWING GORDON IN CLOSE GAMES

Listen to the audio.. lol.

I really hope Brett Myers' wife got the hell out of the house before he got home!

8/26/2007 5:21:37 PM

Fuck you Iguchi. Stand in there like man instead of acting like you just got shot from a little contact.

And fuck you Phillies. Win on a fucking 15 foot grounder last night and a fucking interference call tonight. Fuck all of Philadelphia, the fucking trashy shitass city.

Ok, I'm done.

8/29/2007 10:23:38 PM

What is bad is that they would not have turned that double play....

He should have just slid in there normally and not 10 feet off the bag like a dumbass.

What a fucking weird series. A 4 game sweep, the last 3 decided by the last swing of the game. 2 game lead in the divison heading to a place the Mets lose seemingly every time.

Thank the fucking lord there aren't any more games in the little league park in Philly this year.

8/30/2007 5:15:23 PM

Last time I bet on the Mets thats for sure

8/30/2007 5:20:09 PM

lol mets

BTTT for the playoffs

i would much rather BTTT the "Phillies WS champs 2007" from October of last year but this will do...the irony makes it more appropriate anyway
