Yea I am sure that Wade will leave his beach house and 80 degree weather to go to New York.....Maybe if the Knicks were relevant

Lumberg.  That is a fantastic screename/avitar.

MMMMMM yeah, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday...

And on lets get back to some numbers.

LCS numbers: RISP, HR's and EBH's. Who led in those? Hmmm.

Time's yours...

Anyone hear about the Philly fan on craigslist? She offered sex for world series tickets...maybe Philly fans are better.

Didn't she strike out A-Rod? She struck out a few MLB players...and no I didn't know I he was there. I haven't seen him in a while...now I know why.

Not to jump in on a NBA convo that I can care less about... but I am pretty sure Wade can have and has many different homes around the world let alone the US. He probably has his own plane as well and if not now after that contract he is going to get he most likely will.

This is insane...trying to find 2 tickets to Game 2. The cheapest I found was $400 each for Grandstand.

 

I just want to spend $500 for 2 bleacher seats. I can't believe I can't even find something for that. It's sickening.

I checked yesterday about 10 different sites and couldnt find anything less than $750 for 2 tickets sitting anywhere.... It will be all worth it, if we can win the series and get a free ticket to the Parade!

I rather see Pedro and Jay-Z/Alicia Keys for Game 2. So much more entertaining.

I checked stubhub, craigslist, ebay and nothing. It's a shame.

Yanks are going down by a better team, better lineup. And I could care less, no rooting interest, just were the money goes. Phils  win game 1, and the series.

dont forget that one of your players has an illness named after him.

does anybody find it ironic that lou gehrig died from lou gehrigs disease?

Sparky Philadelphia vs New York is the best scenerior any baseball fan could hope for in this World Series . I believe they are the best 2 teams in baseball. ANd the Phills have a very good chance to beat the Pinstrippers. I think they match up well and they are loose. I live in the Philly area ( So Jersey so i see and hear everything in the media. they are  balanced and THEY are the current World Champs... I smell a repeat

We are Pedros Daddys he stated that himself. Hamels is lacking the confidence he had last year,you must agree hes not the same guy. When we win game 1 youll see what we do to Pedro the overachiver..Happ is inexperienced...And our JUGGERNAUT line up will score runs even on LEE.

LETS GO BOMBERS!!!!
