Thanks for that, but screw you.

I appreciate everything Aaron Rowand did for the Phillies. He brought grit and tenacity to the clubhouse, and put up some decent numbers while here only 2 seasons. "The Catch" is a story I'll be telling my son about in years to come. However, I bleed Phillies red and I could give less than two pinches of poop if he ever collects another hit in his career. All I know is that Gillick tried to re-sign Fence-Face to a shorter contract (believed to be 3 years) with substantial money involved where he could have been playing for a perennial contender, yet he decided to roam centerfield for known losers the San Francisco Giants. I don't blame the man for seeking security through a contract, but I don't have to be happy for him either or not be pissed when he puts up these stats through 5 games against my beloved Phightins: 8-19, 6 r, 1 dbl, 2 hr, and 2 rbi. So thanks for everything Rowand, but screw you!

Why are we having problems against the Giants????????????????????????????????

Yo GM, what was up with the TV coverage of yesterdays game? Didn't see it anywhere(CN8,Sportsnet,57,17etc.) Looked on the schedule magnet and all other games indicate what channel is broadcasting that day.There was no indicator for this game and I was unable to find it on TV.WTF!?

Was it an afternoon game? If so, then it probably conflicted with whatever game Fox decided to show. It's retarded.

FOX owns exclusive rights to Saturday afternoons, so any game played during their nationally televised game of the week doesn't get aired anywhere unless FOX sends a crew there to cover the game.

Phils struggling against the lowly Giants again, what does that say about the Phils?

Marlins and Mets won again though, and the Marlins aren't just annoying anymore...they're scary!

Thanx for the info. Me & the hubby wasted time looking for it.

thank god for mlb tv and the extra innings package!

How can you say anything bad about Rowand? The guy played his heart out while he was here, a place he never really wanted to be in the first place. He was forced to be here because of a trade and was never very thrilled about it, but he made the best of it and did more than was expected from him. Would I still love to have him in center? Absolutely, but he did what he felt was best for him. The money we offered him was about the same as SF, just for fewer years. He always said he wanted to play on the west coast where he is from and where he attended college at CSF.

GM you say appreciate everything and end it with a "screw you." You sound like a middle schooler who just got dumped. I was the same way when we signed with SF, but thats the name of the game. He had a great year and got paid for it in a place hes happy. He already has a ring so who cares about winning? Would you rather raise a family in Philly or sunny Cali??? An obvious answer for most people. Wish him the best, just not against us. Oh and the Marlins won't keep it up...great young team....key word: young.

I loved Rowand while he was here, but he's beating the crap out of us now and that's never cool! I don't fault him for taking the contract, it's financial security. However, I'm not going to be happy for him, especially when he's lighting up the Phils pitching staff...that's just dumb!

No thats called being an adult. Being happy for him and wishing him well doesn't mean you have to cheer for him. Does it suck that hes doing so well against us? Absolutely...but what else is new with guys we let go or trade away. Look at Bourn and Gavin Floyd...are you not happy that they are doing well elsewhere? Wish em the best and hope they don't destroy us when it counts.

I don't want to see any ex-Phil go out to great things after their time with the Phils, that's just how I feel. I'm not rooting against them though, but in Gavin Floyd's case I am. I hated him while he was in Philly, never did crap for us.

Well have fun being a bitter old man when you grow up...if that ever happens of course.

Why all the personal attacks on me? Seriously bro, you've got problems!

"How can you say anything bad about Rowand?"----- Was he or was he not playing for the team we were trying to beat? That should be reason enough. And what the f*uck are you talking about with that "he's got a ring so who cares when you can live in California"? B.S. He runs into fences whereever he plays.Obviously he cares.Oh, and didn't I read that he was actually disappointed about NOT being able to stay with the Phillies?

Seriously DTRIK.WTF!! You must send your alter-ego out to do battle with the GM over Phillies issues. I certainly wouldn't look at your comments on Eagles threads and come to the conclusion that you're some sort of a "gentleman sportsfan".
