excellent

my only minor criticism: shouldn’t you change “autumn 2004” to “autumn 2009”?

nicely done

Personally, I hate Jeter more than A-Rod and would put him up there instead, but still, nicely done.

Somehow, a chain of events unfolded that put Steve Phillips in a professional broadcast booth Sunday night so he could rip Carlos Beltran. Try to explain that in any other terms.

b/c ARod's a way, way better player

and get’s like 1/5 of the amount of love and respect? And Jeter acted like a jealous little bitch when ARod (correctly) stated that had he been drafted by the Yankees, he’d probably have 4 World Series rings, too. At least, that’s my rationale

Word

Victorino and Jeter are the two players I hate most.

Jayson Werth is clearly a douche

but I can’t hate him that much because he’s much more underrated than many of his teammates. He’s been the second best player on the Phillies in the past two years, but he’s ranked behind Howard (homeruns!!!), Rollins (team to beat!!!), Victorino (grittymcgritgrit!!!) and the equally underrated Utley, not to mention Hamels or the rest of the pitching staff.

I just can't hate Utley

I live in Philly and people around here don’t appreciate how good he is. They would ship him out of town over Howard or in some people’s case Rollins which I just think is absurd. For that reason I can’t dislike the guy. He’s by far the best and most valuable player on their team and gets crapped upon far too often by their fans/media.

I like Utley

he’s the only Phillie I can say that about. He’s a legitimately great player, and I’ve been a fan of his since I picked him up in fantasy in 2005, back when nobody cared about the Phillies. I also don’t dislike Werth, b/c like Squid says, he’s underrated. He still looks like a douche though.

i agree, i have no problem with Utley

aside from the horrible experience of spending any entire Mets-Phils game listening to some old witch of a lady directly behind me shreiking “Chase get your pretty face on base” over and over again for 9 innings.. not really his fault though.

yeah, that's my line of reasoning

A-Rod

One of my favorite players ever, going back to his Mariner days. Pretty amazing what he did at the plate as an awesome fielding shortstop.

by James Kannengieser on Oct 26, 2009 9:30 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not good enough to stick at short though

Seriously, Jeter is a little bitch, a real “leader” would have moved off and let the better player play shortstop

And no decent captain

would have so relished seeing A-Rod twist in the media storm that he wouldn’t throw out a tiny signal of support for the good of his team.

by SuperT on Oct 26, 2009 11:01 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Jeter couldn't support A-Rod

He was too busy selling some shitty product to the moron masses with whatever vague marketable quality he possesses. I see through Derek Jeter; he’s nothing more than a significantly less talented Michael Jordan.

Omar's off-season contract strategy.  (Get it?)
(Yes, I'm having too much fun with GraphJam)
I'm doing a little study on the NL East and thought I'd share an interesting little tidbit.  To all of the self-loathing Mets fans/lazy 'MLB insiders' and journalistic parrots who have 1) Condemned the entire Mets organization as a joke 2) Written off this core's impressive run to date and 3) Deified the Phillies as unstoppable juggernauts w/ no chance to lose this division:

Yes, those wins are weighted towards '06-'07 and yes, the Phillies' are more recent but the fact remains that no other team in that span can even come close to the Mets total of days in first place, which should be garnering a lot more respect than it has.  If only because we still have nearly the same core in place that has clearly had a lot of success and health-willing can very easily do so again in 2010.
