***Official 2012 Still Best Rotation in Baseball Phillies Thread***

First spring game today. Pence with 2 run bomb in the first.

I'd like to see lineup of Rollins, Victorino, Pence, Utley, Mayberry, Nix, Wigginton, and Ruiz.

You picking up The Show on Tuesday?

Yeah got it preordered and paid for. Got off Tuesday too.

Nice...I'll get it by the weekend...have a lot of work this week....Let's get a game in....I'll shoot you an invite....

wonder how much the Phillies fans will love Papelbum after he starts blowing critical saves.

GO DBACKS!!!
Picking up the show this weekend, I'll play your ass ALC !!!

Just picked it up today....Let's try to get a game in also.....

Arent you all the same fuckers who made fun of wild for playing video games?

No, I made fun of him for saying he could easily put in over 100 hours on a wrestling videogame and for being a big wrestling fan even though he's older than 12 years old.

I still play Madden and NHL occasionally, I certainly don't have time to play all day like he seemed to do.

Couldn't watch the game, but highlights looked like the typical Doc as he didn't give up a hit after the second batter. Papelbon shuts the door with the 1-2-3 9th. Not a good start for the offense, but 1 run was enough to win.

Phillies offense is gonna blow this year....better off letting Hamels walk and signing Hamilton.....

One game and the offense is going to blow lmao.

What happened with Kershaw a flu wtf? Got him in couple fantasy leagues and he pussies off.

Utley is done and Howard has been in decline every year the past 3...nobody on that offense scares you and they are supposed to be the best team in the N.L?.....

Kershaw had balls to pitch 3.....dude shouldn't have pitched at all...Manager and GM tried to talk him out of playing yesterday...

i don’t think anyone expects much from the offense this year, but the score had more to do with bedard. at least 80% of his pitches were 72-73 mph; he pitched well.

all the talk about the offense and people tend to forget just how awesome their pitching really is. halladay and now lee… pitching, motherfuckers!

Fucker was out. Where the hell is replay when you actually need it?

Galvis is horrible at the plate. They need a legit 2B ASAP.

Offense can only muster another run....against the Pirates no less....

Get used to a lot of low scoring, one run games. Howard and Utley are out for a few more months, Rollins and Polance are coming off short seasons. The entire infield is older and beaten down, that's gotta cost you at least 12-15 games right there, which would put them around 90 wins. I'm sure they'll make deals at the deadline but, I was very dissappointed when they didn't do anything to improve a roster that wasn't good enough last year.

I'm just hoping they can play a little above 500 ball for the first 3 months and then make a 2nd half push once they get their guys back and acquire help in trades.

Pence is the only guy that can go yard on that team...and dude has started off slow...1 for 8.....

Now pen can't hold a fucking 4-1 lead. Why pay Papelbon all this money, but Manuel can't use him for one more fucking out. Sick of this robot match up shit Manuel does with the pen.

Lets pitch to their All Star with first base open. Fucking fire Manuel guy is the worse late game manager ever.

Say what Wild?

Next you will be blaming the umps.

Red Sox, Yankees, Phillies lose and Mets sweep, all is good in baseball right now. It's the refs fault the Pats lost, and now we'll hear about the umps fucking the Phillies over now.

Still the best rotation in baseball?...lol
