Phightin Phils at it again

Jeezus Crimany. The Phils tried everything within their power to blow that game last night against the Nats, but low and behold, the new power hitter for the team saved it in the 14th. While the old-school dick Frank "the tank" Robinson wouldn't pitch to Howard (3 IBBs), Rollins, Utley, Victorino, Nunez, and Coste saved the day. Conine had a great night going 0 fer 7. The suspect relief pitching was borderline disasterous, and held on to only blow 2 save chances; the defense was just as bad with 4 errors. Lost in all this was a solid start by Cole Hammels, who settled down nicely and looked strong after the 3rd inning. The Kruker was on Baseball Tonight as the game got into the late innings, and he said the Phils deserved to lose the game with the shoddy defense and lack of hitting with RISP - I couldn't have agreed more, which is why I was thankful we were playing the JV squad in the Washington Nationals!!!

And anyone watching the game on MASN has to agree that Nats announcers Bob Carpenter and Tom Paciorek absolutely suck. PBP guy Carpenter is not half bad, but Paciorek fucking blows. I can't count how many times he called Nats catcher Brian Schneider "Schneider-man," kissed Ryan Zimmerman's ass, and constantly complained that the Nats were getting whored on ball/strike calls. God I miss Harry Kalas. "...LONG drive, deep center field, this ball is OUTTA HERE!!! Grand-slam MICK-ey Morandini."

Philly, the 700 Level, and an old POS

Being a philly fan, and having such love-hate relationships with the Eagles and Phillies, I often frequent Enrico Campitelli's blog/website, The 700 Level. I guess he has also recently been hired (cool!) to do some bloggin on AOL Sport's Fanhouse, which has bloggers from all across the country (world maybe???...maybe not) doing stuff on their teams. Check his out here, cause for some reason (time permitting, or legal stipulations regarding proprietary material...it is AOL now) he does not post his AOL stuff on The 700 Level, and vice-versa.



AAANNNYYYWAY, I like his stuff, and to me, he is much like the typical Philly sports fan with his deep passion, support, and sometimes ability to criticize the teams. He is also much more than the typical fan due to his detailed observations, insight and analysis, and abilities to articulate them for all to see. So that is why I disagree 100% with this shitbag's assessment of his "live blogs" of the Eagles games. The shitbag's name is Frank Fitzpatrick from the Philly Inquirer, and the article just proves this guy is old, outdated, and more interested in talking shit on someone else rather than providing readers with insight, analysis, opinion, or whatever fat, old, outdated sportswriters actually write about these days. BTW, I love Enrico's rebutle - check it out at The 700 Level. And keep up the good work Enrico - its a great place for Philly phans to go, especially those who live away from "home" and can't soak up the atmosphere in person.

Damn I am a SLACKER...

M.S. - thanks for the kind words. I have been a complete slacker on this blog thing. I read a ton of blogs, yours included, and i thought, what a great idea...let's do a blog. Then I post 3 effin topics in 2 months and I am done...kinda like my fantasy baseball season, which I have termed "one and done." So with 3 here, I am ahead of the game I guess. Whatever gets me to sleep at night.

Actually, with CFB and NFL starting, I have been spending all my free time with fantasy and general degenerate gambling. "Spanning the globe to bring you a constant variety of sports...and losing hundreds of dollars in the process." Actually, I have been killing it in CFB, but blowing it in NFL. For some reason I love the dogs in the NFL this year, which is a big change from last year. And what happens??? All the big dogs go to shit, and I am on that shit train straight to shitsville. Again, thank god for CFB, where I think I sit at 22-7 on the young season. I post under Masterlock Jr. here, at SportsDegenerates, in case anyone gives a shit. Remember, tail the CFB plays, fade the NFL plays, and you will be gold Jerry, gold!
