The Philadelphia Phillies won their second straight game on Monday night, taking down the Miami Marlins 7-2. Their record improves to 28-30.
- Kyle Kendrick tossed a complete game to earn the win. Kendrick did put the team in an early 2-0 hole, but bounced back to finish with a strong performance. He allowed only six hits and one walk, and used just 105 pitches to finish the Marlins. He retired 15 straight to finish the game.
- Dom Brown, Dom Brown, Dom Brown. Another home run? Why not. Brown launched his seventeenth home run of the season, a two-run blast in the sixth inning that helped the Phillies put the game out of reach. Brown finished the game 3-4, and his average has now increased to .291.
- Erik Kratz got the Phillies on the board with a solo home run in the fifth inning, it was his seventh bomb of the year. Kratz continues to be quietly productive, and now has nine RBIs in his last 10 games.
- Ben Revere continues to bat in the lead-off spot, and had an RBI single.
- Cesar Hernandez drove in his first run of the year with an RBI groundout. The Phillies activated Michael Young today, and sent Michael Martinez back to Triple-A, so it looks as though Hernandez is here to stay for the time being.
- Delmon Young went 1-4 with a solo home run.
Final Thoughts
This is how the Phillies should handle the Marlins every night.
Domonic Brown just keeps on producing. He’s been named the N.L. player of the week for the second straight week, and also the N.L. player of the month. He’s hitting home runs at an absolutely ridiculous rate right now, and is now tied for second in the league in that category.
Teams are scared of him, and the Phillies have hope because of him.
D. Brown’s on fire right now and I’m glad to see him rewarding the Phils for finally letting him play everyday. Just hope the fans stick with him when pitcher’s adjust as they inevitably will and he hits some cold patches along the way. It’s funny, of all the “prospects” that Amaro traded away the past few seasons, the only one that’s a legit big-leaguer is the one he kept, D. Brown.
Let’s not anoint him Darryl Strawberry/ Barry Bonds 2.0, just yet. Let’s see if he can keep it up & not be a 1 month wonder. He looks good right now & is tearing it up, but let’s not call him a “legit” big leaguer, just yet. He played 3 years, of failed baseball, with spurts of this. Let’s not forget that.
I agree DCar…there’s no question he’s been exciting and he gives the team reason for hope right now, but you can’t crown a player and expect him to be the permanent answer after just a couple of weeks of excellent play.
But I am really enjoying watching him play now.
He is just what we need for this team, going forward. He’s still young, cheap, under contract, & if he can keep his head on straight, can possibly get better. It’s exciting & positive, but people need to slow down & catch their breath, because they’re getting a little carried away. I know it’s been horrific & we haven’t had much to grab onto, but lets see some long consistency, before anointing him the cornerstone, of the next nucleus. It was only a couple of months ago, that he was on his last chance. Out of Ruin 2morrows mouth.
Denny why can’t we crown him a legit player? the negative nitwits decry a player a failure after 5-10 games? I’m not saying he’s going to sustain these power numbers but it he has to be legit to have a month like this.. the steve jeltz’s of the world don’t have months like this!
long consistency you’d like to see? hmmm how bout leading the majors in hr and rbi over an 8 year period? how bout GG caliber SS along with consistently better offensive output than an average SS? is that the kind of consistency you are referring to? How bout your other favorite whipping boy who put up .264, 24 and 85 over 3 years… thats what you mean right?
crown him if you wanna crown him. you dont need dennys permission.
i myself in my mind have him crowned as an above average corner outfielder for the next 5+ years
now the phils need a new 2b, cf, rf and 3b.
exactly, if you want to go all-in on a player, by all means go all-in and enjoy the ride as much as you can!
He’s playing out of his mind right now, and he’s making the team relevant again.
I never said he shouldn’t be recognized as a legitimate starting outfielder…I just think its too early to say he’s going to crown him as a guy that you can build around for years to come.
Has he truly broken out or will he come back down to Earth in coming months? No one really has the answer to that, what he’ll do in the rest of June, July, and the rest of the season is about as unpredictable and unforeseeable as the month he just had.

And you’re surprised?!? Anyone who has eyes & has ever played the game, can see, that he is undisciplined, over-matched, & can’t play on this level. I only have been saying it, for 3 years now, but what do I know?!?
Apparently not a whole lot!
was he talking about revere??
nope– it was one DOMONIC BROWN–
i’m sure he will claim i somehow twisted his words!
Yeah, & up to that point, he did $#!T for 3 years! AGAIN, GET A LIFE LOSER! You are the only 1, that has time to go back to research, & try to find prior comments to twist in your favor! What did he do, up until that comment I made, for 3 years? Not a F^#@ING thing! By my above comments, I’m being skeptical, but trying to be optimistic! What’s your f^#@ing problem, you little bitch?!? Also, by you comparing Brown, to aged, run down players, in the twilight of their careers, is both stupid, & has nothing to do with the topic at hand! So keep trying to get stuff on me, you little insecure, Girly-man! You take pot shots at me, & make your stupid nitpicking, delusional, retarded comments, at me all of the time, & act like I’m the only one critical of this team, the broken down nucleus, & your hero, BFF Ruin 2morrow Jr. I nver had a whipping boy! If a F^#@ing player is done & is overpaid, & was given, ill-advised, stupid comments, that’s what it is! Again, you are a clueless, irrational, nutcase! I guess you don’t listen to the radio, read newspapers, have water-cooler talk at work, have Friends that you converse with, drink with at the bar, or any other contact with the real world, because mostly everyone I talk to, positive & negative fans alike, feels the way I do, on many of my issues with the current status! You seem to have a problem with me only, that’s fine, I can handle it, because I don’t give a F^#@, that it’s coming from a person like you!! A pathetic, little, nothing of a man, who has no life, loved ones, friends, & too much time on your hands! You can’t help yourself, because of the many times, I’ve proven you to be an idiotic, imbecile, delusional, irrational dickhead, that’s in denial! I told you, there’s only one way for you to solve your issue! So keep making your little digs, taking your pot shots, keeping your deluded thoughts, & I’ll keep it real, & state the way it is. So go ahead, go back & research all of my prior comments, have fun, with your free time, while I’m living my life, you delusional, irrational nut job!!!! It doesn’t change the fact, that your BFF is a horrid GM, the team is old, decrepit, overpaid, needs to be rebuild & Rollins, Howard & Utley are either done, non-factors, or non-surprisingly injured again!
You are pathetic! I criticize someone, you have a problem & call me negative! I try to be positive & compliment someone, you have a problem with that too! In your eyes, I can’t win. You are the 1, that has the problem! Go talk to someone, about your irrational thoughts, insecurities, delusions, & borderline stalking of my comments! Your hounding, is worrisome. Get some help, before it’s too late!
oh so now you know my life? interesting
you are a negative nitwit who throws internet tempertantrums… it is hilarious and childish… cussing and getting louder does not make you right…
I don’t know you & couldn’t give a $#!t if you live, or die. Really, you mean nothing to me. Remember, you started all this BS, over a year ago, with your stupid, foolish comments towards me, & your ill-informed insults. You are just too stuborn & irrational, to admit you were wrong & I was right, about the Phils & your BFF Ruin 2morrow, in which you are still in denial about, & can’t admit defeat. Stop twisting $#!t to fit your whacked out, meaningless arguments, posting partial comments I’ve made, that doesn’t have anything to do, with topics at hand. Don’t tell me what to say, don’t label me things I am not, & like I’ve told you on numerous occasions, if you don’t like to be proven wrong, & don’t like what I say, don’t read & respond to my comments! It’s as easy as that, you obsessed, irrational, deluded, stalker!
‘can’t play at this level’– ‘what do i know?”– you were wrong as usual
I think hes here to stay .. He actually does look alot like bonds with that left handed stance..
The power from Brown is a surprise but his play shouldn’t be. Whenever he’s been healthy he has hit well, except for briefly in triple a after the trade for Pence. He has always had a good eye at the plate, the one thing that concerns me is during this streak he hasn’t hit anything straight away or opposite field.
Unreal Dom. My how the tables have turned its great to see But as indicated by his teammates there is some turmoil with how the team is being managed from top to bottom.
Victorino, via Ryan Lawrence:
“When he got called up early, he was doing well, and then I came back and he ended up sitting on the bench,” Victorino, now with the Red Sox, said of Brown, who hit .237 but also had a home run, two doubles and 11 RBI in 11 games while Victorino was on the DL. “For a young player like that’s it’s not easy sitting on the bench. I don’t care how talented you are, you have to play, especially as a young player, you need to play every day.”
Rollins:
“It’s motivation, certainly,” Jimmy Rollins said of Brown’s regular demotions in the last 2 years. “At the same time, when the organization isn’t showing you any confidence, it doesn’t matter if you motivate yourself. You go down there after being sent down the first time, you [hit]. After they send you down the second time, you go down and [hit]. What the heck do I keep getting sent down for? I come down here, hit .300. I go up there, play once a week and they say I can’t play. It’s hard to be motivated when you can only do so much.”
When asked whether Brown is playing with a clearer head, given the regular playing time, Rollins continued with his pointed criticism of the Phillies’ management.
“When you don’t have to battle the organization, I think you become that way,” Rollins said of playing relaxed. “He was never playing against anyone. It was just the organization thinking he’s ready or not. Every organization has players like that, that they like, but, their fear is he’s not ready. I’m the complete opposite. There’s only one way to find out. Your opinion doesn’t matter to me. Let me go out there, see if I can do it or if I can’t. The numbers will show if you give me a fair shot.”
Hamels, via 94 WIP:
“I just think it takes somebody to kind of get, just comfortable,” Cole Hamels told Angelo Cataldi and the 94WIP Morning Show about Brown. It has been several years of up and down for Brown, splitting time between the Phillies and their minor-league teams. A few injuries along the way didn’t help matters either.
“You’re not worrying about the outside forces of going up-down, up-down, if you don’t perform,” Hamels said. “Just feeling comfortable knowing that you’re confident that you’re going to be there, you’re going to get a shot, and you get a chance to just be yourself and I think that’s kind of what’s hard. When you pull guys up—our ultimate goal is to get to the big leagues, it’s very difficult to stay because they have that anxiety of not wanting to get sent back down. Once they get over it, then they’re able to be themselves and then you get to see what type of player they actually are. Dom Brown has always been like that, now for him to feel comfortable enough to be himself, now he is putting on the show we always knew he was capable of doing.”
Aumont, via CBS Philly:
“It’s very, very confusing,” Aumont told the Express-Times on Saturday. “Baseball is a very confusing thing because you have so many people who have so many different perspectives on how to do things. At the major league level, (bullpen coach) Rod (Nichols) is telling me something, then I come down here and can hear different stuff. Which way do I go? Do I want to please the people while I’m down here right now or do I do the things the big league wants me to do even if I’m not doing the stuff they want me to do here?
“I’m the one who’s caught in the middle and I have to make a decision. We don’t always make the best decisions, nobody does, but I have to find a medium of where I can get to where I want to be and at the same time, try to do some of the things they want me to do. The bottom line is I’m going to do what’s good for me and whatever anybody else says goes in and out for me.”
When you have former players, current long-tenured players, and an in-between prospect making separate but pointed criticisms about the way the organization is run, changes need to be made. Not a firing, mind you, but refocusing and reorganization. These are problems that, left untouched, tend to snowball.
Crowns no crowns don’t care this guy is a fucking beast, below average players just can’t do what he is doing.
Dom is a nice piece. It would be nice if his success fires up some of these other guys.
In other news I noticed they sent mike Martinez down and kept Hernandez up. Play the kid everyday he is up now
I see a more Griffey like swing instead of Barry Bonds.
Either way, it’s very intriguing to see Dom performing like this. He has given us hope again.
I was just about to say even though Dominic Brown looks like D.Brown, the closest guy I would compare his swing to is Griffey. Bonds’ swing was a lot more compact because of his juiced up bulkiness.
As far as the article I’m glad his teammates are coming out and expressing how much they questioned the management electing to do the see-saw routine with Brown when they should have just let the guy play.
they were trying to win!!!!! what don’t you get?
you don’t keep a .230 hitter who you know is better than that develop in the major leagues– MLB is a tough place for on the jjob training.
But yet, I said the same things & you ripped me above! LOL, how your irrational, deluded, hypocritical mind works! GET SOME HELP, girlyman, or better yet, just STFU!
no you said he’d never be a player… and then criticize the organization for yo-yoing him…. he wasn’t ready
What ever makes you sleep at night & makes you feel better, about your pathetic existence! Keep deluding yourself. I was wrong about nothing, fool, tool, troll!
3 years of failed play?…Try 3 years of sabotaged performance.
No, try failed play, by an immature, hard head, that didn’t listen to his coaches, until this year, when Henderson & Joyner, changed his swing, & approach (words, out of his mouth. Called Joyner an Angel from heaven). What did he show, but in mini spurts, that he deserved to play everyday? I hope he’s legit, because he looks like the polar opposite, of what he looked like, for 3 years! Let’s hope, we need all the help we can get, moving forward.
Nah looks alot more like bonds.. but hes so tall..
When he came up, he had his hands much higher and he had a bit of a hitch. He had a huge swing with a lot of holes in it. Now his hands are much lower and his swing is more compact and flat. That is why he is hitting some many frozen ropes.
He didn’t perform when he first came up, but they continuously tried to change his swing and then he was stuck in a platoon instead of getting regular time. Now that he has regular time and they have committed to him, imagine how comfortable he must feel.
I am not going to compare him to Griffy or Bonds, but it is sure fun to watch him play right now.
they had to change his swing he had a huge hole in it, he was a work in progress and it looks like its paying off.
I know, but they tried to change him mid-season to add to the pressure of being a top prospect. It was neccessary and paying off, but I think that the missing piece was Joyner.
The phillies did not “sabotage” or jerk him around, there was no room or need for him on the 102 win 2011 team, his swing needed work and last year he was hurt, this year he gets his chance, just shut up already Rollins, et. al, not every player gets a chance, he did, and thankfully he’s making the most of it,
Let me also say after meeting him personally, he’s a he’ll of a nice guy, humble,
the phillies really sent out an email saying:
“#VotePhillies to send Brown, Utley to the All-Star Game”
Utley really???????? I cant wait until this guy is no longer a Philly
You’re an idiot mhenski. If the Phillies want to go anywhere, they need Utley performing at a high level as well.
and your a 2 year little cunt. grow the fuck up little cunt boy, i am entitled to my opinion and if you wanna act like a little boy and call people names because you dont like their opinion well then fuck you cuntboy
to address your point cuntboy that the phillies need utley to perform at a high level to go anywhere well if that were fact the Phillies wouldnt go anywhere because chase hasnt performed at a high level in 5 years. which tells you chase can no longer be counted on to give you anything. he will come back from his “oblique” injury and then probably quit on the team again, i mean say his knees hurt again.
chases career is pretty much over and everyone knows it but you cuntboy
Another quality post by Mhenski. Dude you seem like the 2 year old every time that you have a profanity filled rant like this one.
oh well. when 2 year old idiot cunt boys that think utley is gonna play at a high level at age 34 when he hasnt played at a high level in 5 years wanna call me an idiot ill call them fucking idiots and cuntboys you just cant help cuntboys idiots like birdo understand unless u talk their talk.
cant talk classy respectful grown talk to a 2 year old cuntboy retarded idiot ya know?
Moron. Suck my left testicle while massaging the right.
Now we can add faggot to the list of adjectives that describe you. Because only queers like you ask other men to suck and massage their testacles.
Howard is the guy they need to get rid of ASAP. Delmon Young has played about half the games Howard has and STILL has more homeruns. UNBELIEVABLE.
They can’t get rid of Howard. That contract is an albatross. You have to keep him and his .222 ave with RISP and his 64 Ks in around 200 ABs.
Denny, I never “crowned” D. Brown as anything. I merely pointed out that a consistent theme in conversations about this team is how they’ve traded away all their “young superstars” in the deals for Halladay, Lee, Pence etc. and sabotaged the teams future. My opinion is that those trades were prudent at the time based on where the team was, and of those young traded prospects, most seem to be AAAA players, with the jury still out on a couple others. The one untouchable was Brown and at this point, he is making the Phils look pretty smart. I agree, his current power surge is unsustainable, but he looks to be a piece that we can build around potentially. A pretty good piece.
I never said you (or anyone) did, Everz…when I said that in the previous comment, I was just speaking generally agreeing with the idea that we shouldn’t get carried away over one month of strong play, but at the same time we absolutely should enjoy Brown for what he’s doing every night!
Washington Nations released 2 Relievers Today from their Roster
RHP Henry Rodriquez who throws about 100 MPAnd would be worth a look at..
He had a 4.00 ERA in 17 Appearances
And LHP Zack Duke who could be a good situational Pitcher versus Left-Hand Batters out of the Bulloen though he has struggled a bit this Season
Phils should definitely look into Henry Rodriquez, a change of scenery and a 7th/8th Inning Reliver out of Bulloen could be a low risk
Addition
right look at a guy from the team above you that was released in june… good call gm
dcar you said you wanted consistency out of DB… i agree. But i asked you if 8 years of leading in hr’s and rbis was consistent, i asked if above average (GG) and above average offense from your SS was consistent, i asked if 3 years at 264, 25, 85 was consistent(i don’t believe you answered…. all of those players were signed by RA, part of his plan and produced consistently the way you are asking DB to… you are the one proven hypocritical, illogical and wrong.
Rollins shouldn’t have been re-signed & Ibanez, was not a clutch player, had hollow numbers, was a see-saw, inconsistent player, who was a liability in the outfield, another lefthanded hitter & a downgrade from Burrell. Both Ibanez & Rollins signings, were a mistake. So again, you are wrong, delusional, in denial & have no clue. So keep trying, fool, you are wrong, I am not! Rollins contract, is an albatross, just like Howards, & Papelbons. If we didn’t re-sign Rollins, we could have had a Ramirez, Galvis 3B & SS. So again, you’re undeniably wrong. Keep trying, with your hollow numer arguments. They mean nothing, just like the 102 wins, 2011 season is irrelevant.
Irrelevant, because you the only one who thinks that matters, when we got embarrassingly dumped in the 1st round, when we were considered WS favorites, is your dumb @$$! 102 wins won’t be remembered, only they got tossed like trash, in the 1st round. So keep trying. WROOOOOOOOOOONG!!!!!
Well I am one person that is extremely glad we did sign Jimmy as I would take Jimmy and anyone at 3rd over Galvis and Ramirez.
And you would be wrong too. Galvis is a magician with his glove, & is still young enough & improving with the bat. Aramis Ramirez, hit .300, 27 HR’s, 105 RBI’s, 50 2B, last year & is a solid 3B. No, I wouldn’t want that bum, he’s not an upgrade, over Young, Frandson, Polanco Wiggigton, Martinez & the rest of the abortions & has-beens, we’ve had there, the last 2 seasons?!? OH & he got less $$$$ than, & is the same age as JStroll, with less ????’s.
You are right I am probably wrong…I just dislike Galvis that much and think he is a utility bench infielder… but contrary to what i previously wrote I think Aram and Galivs would be better than Jimmy and M Young. If I am gm I dont let a home grown 33 yr old, JRoll walk for a 33 yr old A Ram…
Stats, 2005-Present.
Howard- .266 BA, 305 HR, 210 2B, 942 RBI’s, 577 BB, 1357 SO. Liability at 1B. Going to be 34. 3 All Stars. 1 WS. 1 MVP. 1 Silver slugger. 0 GG. ROY.
Fielder- .287 BA, 272 HR, 247 2B, 812 RBI’s, 686 BB, 911 SO. Great 1B. 29 years old. 4 All Stars. 3 Silver sluggers.
Pujols- .312 BA, 324 HR, 328 2B, 965 RBI’s, 746 BB, 533 SO. GG 1B. 1st ballot HOF. 33 years old. 9 All Stars. 2 WS. 3 MVP’s. 6 Silver sluggers. 2 GG. ROY. Just missed the triple crown in 2010.
Gonzalez- .292 BA, 220 HR, 287 2B, 785 RBI’s, 550 BB, 910 SO. GG 1B. 31 years old. 4 All Stars. 3 GG. 1 Silver Slugger.
Mark Teixeira- .279 BA, 276 HR, 292 2B, 912 RBI’s, 637 BB, 894 SO. GG 1B. 33 years old. 2 All Stars. 5 GG. 3 Silver sluggers. 1 WS.
ALL younger. ALL comparative &/or better. ALL better hitters & fielders. ALL better in the clutch. ALL but Teixeira were to be available, at the same time as Howard, if Ruin 2morrow, didn’t overpay & jump the gun 2 years earlier than he should have. I would even take Votto, who is much younger, better hitter/ fielder, still improving & also would have been available, but re-signed with Cincy. So your BS, F^#@ING crap, about Howard leading in all numbers & is better than the world, since 2005, are overstated, lazy, stupid, ill-advised, & factually incorrect! SOOOO again, you are WROOOOONG, as usual!!!! Stop waving your pom-poms, living in the past, living in denial, & making your imbecilic, irrational, failed arguments. You do not sign contracts, for past accomplishments, to old, declining, out of shape players, no matter how great they WERE! I loved Howard, Utley, & liked Rollins, but your BFF, failed, on all accounts, to be proactive, smart, creative, evaluative & adept enough at doing his job! So keep trying to irrational argue with me, & you’ll be wrong all of the time. Get a life, loser.
OOOH, I forgot runs scored-
Howard- 679
Fielder- 684
Pujols- 907
Gonzalez- 683
Teixeira- 774
You aren’t taking a year on DL into account and are ignoring puljos contract and the fact that he can’t play first base. As for Rollins you are wrong. And inanrz you are way wrong he carried them at times
puljos wasn’t available and can’t play first base and just signed an absurd contract and howard was the property of the phils–
i’m not saying he is the best 1B in BB not at all– i’m saying he has put up consistently good production– and again you were asking for consistency.but then again, you set moving targets to fit your argument. you are negative, unfulfilled in life loser.
Pujols, Fielder, Gonzalez & Votto, ALL were going to be FA’s, at the same time as Howard! Wrong again! Refer back to the #’s! You rip me for being too negative. So I try to be more positve, & you rip me for that TOO. You say I bring no stats, to back up any of my arguments, so Ilist 9 years worth of FACTUAL stats, of 5 comparable players, to prove you wrong once again & you are changing your tune once again! Now, “I’m setting moving targets & I’m an unfulfilled loser”? REALLY?!?!? This coming from the NO LIFE LOSER, who lives in denial, supporting a failure GM, for no apparent reason, & who spent a gorgeous holiday weekend, researching MY old comments, twisting them, to fit his bizarre, meaningless, pointless, brainless, empty, arguments & points, instead of spending his so-called retired Referee/ Coaching career, free time, with his so-called, bragged about, pristine Family. WTF, are you even f^#@ing talking about?!? You know nothing about my life Son! I have ZERO regrets. I’m a self made, successful man, that I worked my balls off, from the ghetto, to a good life, with a beautiful Nurse Wife, 4 good Kids, & a faithful, loyal bunch of Friends & Acquaintances, with a nesteg I built, for my Family & myself, so we don’t have to worry for nothing. You know nothing, of what spews out of that mouth, that’s around your BFF’s nether region. You are a deluded, you are an irrational psycho, that has NO LIFE, is incapable of admitting he IS wrong, is blinded by his flawed stepford brain, is in constant denial, & doesn’t have any manhood to speak of. You are a joke of a man, & I will no longer have these arguments, with a psychotic, deluded, irrational, obsessed, scorned Woman, in stalk mode! Just face the facts & get yourself some serious, psychiatric assistance. You are getting into the stratosphere, you are so out there! SERIOUSLY!!!!I’m worried for you!
i never said he was better than any of them- i said he puts up consistent numbers…
don’t be worried bout me dcar… you really have an issue spewing on and on with each person who disagrees with you about… if you were so comfy in life you wouldn’t go on psycho rants on the internet..
I go on rants, to defend myself, & because I don’t have tolerance, nor patience, for stupidity, ignorance, racism, liars, unrealistic delusions, hypocrisy, ball-less men & stubborn irrational, goofballs.

“Halladay Howard and hamels are not busts you nimrod! Howard has more HR and RBI than any player in BB the last 8 years. Halladay won 40 games in 2 years. Lefty had years where he lost 19 and 10 games so just STGFU you continually prove how little you understand sports”

“dcar you said you wanted consistency out of DB… i agree. But i asked you if 8 years of leading in hr’s and rbis was consistent, ”
What did you say there, about Howard? HUH? That’s what I thought!!!!
Oh, & for your factless comments, for Howard leading in HR’s, & RBI’s, for 8 years-
He led the NL in HR’s, in 2006 & 2008.
He led the NL in RBI’s, in 2006, 2008 & 2009.
So, you’re prover wrong, factless & delusional, YET AGAIN!
total number
so once again you were proven wrong…
He doesn’t have the total numbers either, you f^#@ing idiot! Read & research, you retarded imbecile! You ARE WRONG! What alternate reality, are you living in? GTFO, you nut! You are wrong, AGAIN, deal with the facts & reality. WTF, is wrong with you? Get lost!!!!
For whatever it’s worth, want to give a shout-out to my Daughter who is Graduating HIgh School Saturday June 8th here in Boone,NC and will be attending Western Carolina University in Cullowhee,Nc this Fall and will be going for a double Major in Secondary Education -(Concentration in Mathematics) and Marketing .. COngrats to her and all Graduating Students
congrats paul…. tell her to be careful with education… the politicians have been screwing with it for the last 8-10 years making the schools a mess! it provided a good life for me and i’ve got a daughter studying elem. ed against my better judgement … but its an exciting time.
shout outs aren’t shout outs unless the person you are shouting out is reading or watching or listening…
nevertheless congrats on your daughters success
thnx guys,
She’s wanted to teach since she was a little girl, but I have talked to her about going for a a Dual Major and she really enjoys Mathematics & Marketing that could provide other opportunities besides Teaching which is definitely not for everyone and a difficult occupation..
Congrats Paulman.
I meant to tell you that I was on vacation last week in NC. Not near Boone though. We went to Bald Head Island with another family. That place is awesome.
Bald Head Island is just South of WIlmington and is an awesome place
There’s no Car’s, I believe, allowed on the Island, Golf Carts are used to get around.. some $$$ places out there..
There are some nice Beach Towns like Southport,Oak Island, Kure Beach,Carolina Beach, Fort Fisher, the NC Aquarium all around that area.. Wilmington is a great town to Visit or Live..
My friends live in Holly Springs (right next to Kerry). So nice down there.
Congrats to your Daughter PM. My Girl is Graduating too. She’s staying local, & going to U. Penn, to be a Nurse, like her Mom. Making both of us very proud! 8D
wow DCar congrats. sounds like you raised a very bright girl.
Thanks mh. Didn’t do anything special. Many good Dad’s out there. Just takes alot of love, patience, time spent with all 4 my kids, good home schooling, teach good values, respect, hard work & set good example, by my hard work. Wasn’t easy, especially working 2-3 jobs at a time, but as long as I get 4 hrs sleep, I’m good. Family first. 8D
nice to know your home persona is quite different than your cyber persona… i dont think you spaz at home…
regardless best wishes
LMMFBO! NAH, this place is my way of venting over the teams failures & stupidity. Once in a bluemoon, I lay the law down, thus my kids not being spoiled, or self-entitled. I just don’t have tolerance, nor patience, for the ignorance, racism, stupidity, ill-advised name calling, questioning of someones manhood & fandom, etc., etc. All’s good though.
Most of all, a rock for a Wife!
Congrats DCAr, great University and Profession
My wife is a Nurse also for some 25 Years now.. Hard work, crazy shifts, great responsibility with good $$$ and benefits and can work anywhere in the Country no matter what the economy is doing..
Best Wishes to her and your Family…
ok, ok …it was a 6 year not 8 year period where howards homeruns and rbi totals were the best in baseball… you were right, he blows
Never said he blows! Said he didn’t deserve, nor warrant his contract, 2 years earlier than he should, being paid for past accomplishments, when he was in decline! Keep putting words in my mouth, retard! AGAIN, he led the league in HR’s TWICE & RBI’s 3 times! He DID NOT lead the NL in HR’s & RBI’s, for 6, or 8 years!!!! WTF, is so hard for you to grasp! Are you that f^#@ing stupid, totally mental, or are you purposely trying to get under my skin? Because, you are a moron!
let me introduce you to a new word…. its CUMULATIVE. when you combine his hr’s and rbis over that 6 year period no one did better. securing up your players and avoiding arbitration is the way business is done…the nats are paying pre-arb. eligible players way more than they have to… its the business.
You can change your story & tune all you want, to try to cover up your errs, stupidity, idiocy & irrelevant, irrational points, but it doesn’t change the fact, that you are wrong & don’t know WTF you are talking about! Now it’s combined, for a 6 year period? You are a f^#@ing stupid, bumbling, imbecile! BTW, your so-called new word “CUMULATIVE”, means, to grow & enlarge, in succession. According to your bogus, factless, made up BS, he did it cumulative, for 6 straight years. Thus, meaning cumulative, RIGHT? Lets see!
Heres his career, well documented, HR & RBI stats.
2005- 22 HR, 63 RBI’s.
2006- 58 HR, 149 RBI’s.
2007- 47 HR, 136 RBI’s.
2008- 48 HR, 146 RBI’s.
2009- 45 HR, 141 RBI’s.
2010- 31 HR, 108 RBI’s.
2011- 33 HR, 116 RBI’s.
2012- 14 HR, 56 RBI’s.
Where the f^#@, in there, 6 staight years, did he improve in HR’s, & RBI’s? Very good first 5 full years, solid 10-11, but looks like a see-saw to me, IDK? Maybe I’m looking at the wrong Howard, for the “CUMULATIVE”, Your NEW WORD. So, not only are you wrong AGAIN, delusional, irrational, irrelevant, in denial, clueless, mindless, & sack-less. You are STUPID & your grammar & reading comprehension is amusing! Let me introduce you to some new words Einstein…….. ANSERINE, ILLOGICAL, ABERRANT, ABSTEMIOUSNESS & MISCONCEPTION.
from 2006-2011 (6 seasons) he had more COMBINED (another new word) hr and rbi than any other player in the majors– that is a fact –
OHHH, now it’s “COMBINED”! Your 5th version of your idiocy!
Howard has more HR and RBI than any player in BB the last 8 years– that is the original quote which you pasted on here– i was wrong it was 6 years not 8–
i never said he led the league in hr 6 or 8 years… read what you copy and pasted.
HAS MORE HR AND RBI THAN ANY OTHER PLAYER– doesn’t mean he led the league idiot…. it is self explanitory to anyone with a brain– but i forget who i’m talking to.
and i was pointing out that you were asking for consistency– i believe the numbers YOU posted show consistency.
RIIIIIIIIGHT! Keep trying Einstein! He does NOT have more HR’s, & RBI’s, the last 8 years!The original exaggerated words out of your mouth! “,Howard has more HR and RBI than any player in BB the last 8 years” ” But i asked you if 8 years of leading in hr’s and rbis was consistent” Right out of your mouth, on several occasions. STOP twisting $#!t you f^#@ing retarded f^#@! You make no sense, you points never have anything to do with the topic at hand. My original consistency comment was for hopes of Brown & NOWHERE, EVER, did I say Howard wasn’t consistent! EVER! My points ALWAYS have been about un-timely, unwarranted, reactionary, overpaid contracts, to aged, in decline players. So WTF, are you talking about, lunatic?!? You say look who you are talking to? Someone who lives in the real world, in the present, & constantly, embarrassingly, proves you wrong & retarded. That’s who you’re talking too. Everyone knows it! Just stop & STFU!
When I proved you wrong, that Pujols had more HR’s, & RBI’s, than him, during your 8 year boneheaded argument, you changed it to 6 years, then the irrelevant consistency BS, now it’s self explanatory & I have no brain. You make a bigger retard out of yourself, with each “CUMULATIVE” post! I’ve forgot more smarts, than you can ever hope to attain! So quit, while you’re behind!
i admitted i was wrong about the number of years..howard really hasn’t had 8 full years- my mistake but from 2006-11 howard had 262 HR and puljos 244, RBI howard 796, puljos 708– by that arithmitic you are quite wrong.
How can I be wrong, when I brought up ZERO conversation of numbers? Only to dispute your BS! Where did I say, he didn’t have more than Pujols, from 06-11? You changed it, from 8 years to 6 years, to fit your failed, irrelevant argument, I didn’t. So how am I wrong? I NEVER said Howard WAS inconsistent? Never even brought any of the sort! Just YOU, always bringing up irrelevant, numbers & topics, & hollow meaningless numbers, to try to fit & aid your irrational arguments! You constantly assume things, put words in my mouth & don’t know WTF you are talking about! You are incapable of being non-biased, nor living in the present & reality, because you think with your pom-pom waving heart, & not your brain. You are in constant denial & are incapable, of ever holding a rational conversation.
the funny thing is if if you take into acct howards rookie year of 88 games and last year of like 56 games and call that your 8 years howard has 5 fewer rbi’s and 10 fewer HR…. all those 8 years were full years (147-160 games)
so your constant criticism of Howard is ridiculous.
BWAHAHAHA!!!! You are priceless! Where, when & what reality, have I constantly criticized Howard? Only criticism I’ve ever given him, has been his decline, current physique, lack of discipline, unwarranted, reactionary contract & the reasons why, he shouldn’t still be here. I’ve NEVER questioned his early greatness. The contract isn’t his fault. Howard is in my top 5 ALL TIME favorite Phils! So keep making up your fiction, to aid your irrationality! But you are incapable of living in reality, or be rational. Has Howard been worth his contract, since signing it? Not even close! Is he in good shape? NO! Has he declined, aged quickly, since signing the contract? Yes! Is he tradeable? Not unless an opposing GM has a death sentence. Is he a shot player? Absolutely! All fact! Not opinion! Not hindsight! BTW, the only whipping boy, I have, is your BFF, Ruin 2morrow Jr.
