Quote of the Day

Filed in National by on April 6, 2009

You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you’re a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.

    From another Italo-American slugger:

    “Sex is great and blowing a trumpet is out of sight but there’s no thrill like hitting a baseball.”

    — Carmen Fanzone

    And it does. There is something about baseball that purifies and regenerates the spirit.

  3. a. price says:

    unless the phillies lose.

  4. anon says:

    To hell with the majors… try Little League, high school, minor league.

  5. a. price says:

    gettin a little slow on the draw King Squish?

    Wish I was on the couch right now, remote in hand, with a pouch of Beech Nut wintergreen by my side!

    Plus, MLBTV in HD! Fantastic!

  7. Von Cracker says:

    I’ll forgive the Phils for last night…heck, as long as they make the playoffs again, I’ll be happy!

    You have to give a championship sqaud at least two years before getting on them again for not winning it all….a grace period, if you will.

  8. a. price says:

    um…. what city is this? (i will also accept metro area) all they get is a boo-free season, as per the WIP agreement… but that started to crack after the 2nd inning. this is philly! either you win the championship, or suck. no in between

  9. Von Cracker says:

    true, so very true.

  10. anon says:

    um…. what city is this? (i will also accept metro area)

    Delaware (Wilmington, Hockessin, Bear, Middletown, and so on).

    Not Philly.

    Philly is at least an hour’s drive away, and they could care less about Delaware.

  11. anon idiot says:

    a. price –

    No, this is Delaware. About a third of the state roots for the Orioles. So don’t give me any of this semi-home-state-pride bullshit. I hate that the NJ plays up the Phillies like they’re some kind of universally beloved team. Give the Blue Rocks that kind of adoration, for chrissake.

    Edited: anon and I crossed the streams. I concur 100 percent.

  12. a. price says:

    i said metro area you conclusion jumping ninny. and philly is 30 minutes for me. just cause you live south of the canal doesn’t mean you matter…. ever. pretty sure 1/3 of the state is less than half… unless you use slower lower math…. A.I, isn’t your totally clean brain smart enough to realize that? you knock the Phillies (or Eagles, or 6ers, or flyers for that matter) you’ll get knocked.

    and last i checked, the Blue Rocks weren’t a MLB tea

    Bush threw out the opening ball in Texas, and inquiring minds are wondering… was he booed again?
