Iggles_Phan Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 5 hours ago, just relax said: I used to love listening to Kallas and Ashburn on hot summer nights. You could walk through neighborhoods and hear them through open windows. Most of the time the Phils were dreadful but those two were like Bach and Beethoven. I don't know if I was so much a Phillies fan as a fan of Harry and Whitey. Agree 100%. Their interplay was beautiful... and they let the game breathe. There wasn't a constant barrage of talking either. You could actually hear the sounds of the ball park in the background. It was so relaxing. And I say that as a kid who was listening to it.

Once Paul Owens was elevated to F.O. in 72 and started working full time as a GM in 73, the beginning of the first golden era of Phillies baseball began.

Woah woah woah… I don’t know about you but I can’t get behind the Vikings winning games outside of our division. Those whiny, passive aggressive fans don’t deserve joy.

After that idiot Bill Giles took the reigns of the organization from Ruly Carpenter's steady hand. First move is to trade Larry Bowa for a bowl of rocks and throw in a young Ryne Sandberg. Giles is one of the biggest villains in Philly sports history. Moron marginalized Paul Owens who built the greatest Phillies teams of all time up to that era. I'll never forgive him.

SkippyX Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Its not ironic to later sign a free agent that you were interested in drafting. Slay saying goodbye to Philly only to rework his contract and stay is ironic. Trading away Nick Foles only to have him later win the SB with the team as a backup to your #2 overall pick is ironic. Irony usually leaves you with the effect of "I did not see that coming" A psychologist who you think is helping a troubled child who sees ghosts actually being one of the ghosts is ironic.
