“I’m hearing fans yelling, ‘Victorino, you’re horrible; you stink,’ ” the centerfielder said. “Aw, right. Like they forget what happened the last 2 years. That frustrates me even more . . . You hear things like that, it eats at you….”
Poor Victorino, can you imagine if he had to play in New York? The quote comes from an article by Sam Donnellon of Philly.com in it he discusses if the Phillies should start to panic and breaks down where the Phillies were the last 2 years compared to now. Donnellon toward the end askes Phillies manager Charlie Manuel the following,
“I asked the manager last night whether he had a number he thought would win the division or get this team in its fourth postseason. He said it would be about the same as in years past, 90 wins, 91, maybe 92. But the Braves are a better and more complete team than a year ago, and the Mets, Manuel said, are not pretending either.”
That’s right Manuel the Mets are for real. Remember that.

What you said.
I believe the baseball term for this phenomenon is “rabbit ears.” Good to know that Vicky has them.

2 things.
1. Take the skirt off, Vickey. Try pants. It’s what the big boys wear.
2. It’s your own Philly fans. Be lucky they aren’t trying to projectile vomit on you.

Is it 9pm tonight?
I don’t even follow basketball and I’m tired of hearing about Lebron already. I read somewhere that there is going to be an hour program just to announce the decision?
I just want to know who the Mets are going to pick up by the trade deadline…

I am pretty much as tired hearing about Cliff Lee, and that might be going on for another 3 weeks!

I agree that is why unlike FWICG.com that seems to post anything that contains a Cliff Lee reference Ad nauseam I will rather wait till something that has some teeth surfaces.

poor vicky. The philly fans have been pretty spoiled lately, so they have been relatively mellow. But, being in the area, I sense the natives are getting restless.
If they have another bad weekend (say, lose 3 of 4), the booing and discord will start ramping up.
and guess who is going to be getting a large amount of it (along with Ibanez, who I think is getting some).
Oh, and hamels if he gets beat up at home. There is still pent up distaste for him!
