If I were the owner, I would be posting the papers on the bulletin boards and marking pertinent passages with a highlighter.<br /><br />Toughen up, cupcakes. Take your lumps. Don't like reading you are playing like a bunch of grandmas? Then play better!<br /><br />The usual cure for criticism and excessive booing is to play better.<br /><br />How hard is this concept to grasp? Can't play better? Then retire.<br /><br />I think I ought to volunteer my services as a motivational speaker.Hazeleyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611279322370728940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-50226415530268010872009-05-01T16:06:00.000-04:002009-05-01T16:06:00.000-04:00Where to start...

Nothing quite like losing a game 7 Stanley Cup Playoff series like that. Talk about numb.<br /><br />Thursday I was on the road listening to the second half of the game on the radio. All I can say is that it just goes to show that our guy walks the first two guys and they get two, and their guy walks the first two guys and the Mets get zip. <br /><br />And no, I wouldn't have asked Wright to bunt. And yeah, pinch hitting Santos was ridiculous. Might as well release Castro now, I mean what's the point? Manuel's falling in love with one week wonders now? It's one thing for a well-meaning but crazy guy like Joe Benigno to think Santos is suddenly going to become Johnny Bench at the age of 27 with two cups of coffee in the majors, but a major league manager like Manuel should have a little more common sense than that, shouldn't he?<br /><br />But it all comes down to this roster. The bench was short (no Castillo and Delgado). Are these guys going to play this weekend? If not, freaking DL them already and get some more players up here. I'm tired of this. I'm tired of Omar and his ex-Expos obession, his obsession with cheap garbage, his poor roster construction, and his complete lack of attention to this team's offensive core, which has gagged on it for 2+ seasons. Despite what happened Wednesday afternoon, this offense can't use the bullpen as a crutch. I don't want to hear it. Score some damn runs already or get guys who can get it done.James Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964207789326645793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-59872047466640782912009-05-01T15:31:00.000-04:002009-05-01T15:31:00.000-04:00It's really pathetic, as is the Phillies as motiva...It's really pathetic, as is the Phillies as motivation factor. After two straight collapses, you'd think these guys would want to take every at-bat of every game seriously. No, but if you post the Cole Hamels quote on the bulletin board, THEN we'll start playing.Unsernoreply@blogger.com
