Philly Bill, yep “dude” spent all day running his website. Glad you can figure out where I guy who writes under the name Dan in Texas and runs a site called lonestarmets lives. You are the smartest philly fan alive.

At the end of the day, you don’t know how a website works, this post upped my traffic and you still live in Philly. You tell me who came out on top. (though I actually had to explain things to two Philly fans which is s futile endeavor to begin with so maybe it’s a push)

How is your statement about Reyes a fact, BTW?

Seriously though PB, I would agree that the Mets choked bigtime in 07 but last year, they weren’t front runners all year; you guys were. The fact that it came down to the last game of the season made it seem like a collapse but the Mets probably should have fell out of contention before then.

Texas is great, but FYI I am not a Cowboys fan, matter of fact I HATE the Cowboys as much as I hate your Phillies.

Mets-Phils is turning into a fun rivalry. Comeback and comment anytime! Make sure you don’t hide when your Phils get swept at Citi Field in May.

as well as hypocritical

2. “What should I write about?” I’d prefer you write about something more interesting. I find this whole story contrived.

Thanks for not anwsering the question. How about I write “Cole Hamels is Perfect, Mets are Not” Would that be interesting?

3. “shot his mouth off” I’m just having trouble imagining how upset you could be at a guy baited that much?

Kind of like you are right now. It was a throwaway post on a Thursday afternoon, man.

4. In regards to you “losing it”. You did not “just call him a dick”. I took “Cole Hamels has been an overrated douchebag in need of a severe beating his entire stupid life” as losing it. I’ll also pass on debating semantics, though.

Again, I was kidding, it was a throwaway post regarding a stupid article I found on MLB.com written from a diehard Mets fan’s standpoint and not actually advocating violence, sorry you couldn’t see the difference. I’ll start giving my readers less leeway for interpretation now that I know Philly fans are reading. I can’t beleive I have to explain this.

5. I did not call sports media “evil”.

Sorry, in comment 5 you said “The douchebags were the guys giving the interview.”

6. I’m not “so upset”. I haven’t called anyone a douchebag or a dickhead. I felt like taking the time to point out how ridiculous I found your post to be.

Yes you did, comment 5. “The douchebags were the guys giving the interview.”

7. In regards to your suggestions, I’d suggest you be less antagonistic. While debating, it can come off as floundering. And if you must be antagonistic, try adding some humor.

I’ll add some humor though I doubt you would notice. Thanks for the tip though, you guys from Philly are truly the master debaters (happy?)

Thanks for commenting though, TJ. You have full status on this site to comeback and gloat, concede, gripe or whatever from now on. I will look forward to you defending Brett Myers next time he beats his wife. Have fun with Raul Ibanez.
