Scott Rolen - ZERO for FIFTEEN

[BOSSHOG]

Great Job Team Player - You Suck! How does that selfishness taste tonight?

Warmest regards from a lifelong Phillie Fan. Rolen, you aren't worthy to carry Mike Schmidt's jock. Enjoy your life in loserville. It will stay such as long as you are there.

CONGRATS TO THE BOSOX.

1. Yeah, it was all Rolen's fault the Phillies sucked

No, it was Larry Bowa's.

Pity he chased your best player out of town before they fired his ass.

[BOSSHOG]

3. Bowa had nothing to do with sissy boy leaving

rolen couldn't stand to be held to expectations. Every time one looks at the little sissy boy he pales even further in comparison to the greatest third baseman ever who had the balls to hang with Phillie fans for 20 years. Mike Schmidt will live in baseball lore forever. sissy boy will be a place mat in a st louis bar. Ya gotta have balls to play the game lil scotty.

4. Bowa's a loser

Who had no clue how to manage a baseball team.

Rolen was the scapegoat for his incompetence.

Management finally got fed up with him this year and did what should have been long ago.

What did the Phillies gain from having Larry Bowa as a manager? Absolutely nothing.

What did they lose? The best 3B in the bigs.

From a Cardinals fan, all I can say is: Thanks Larry!!!

[BOSSHOG]

5. Rolen wasn't a scapegoat

rolen is a selfish lil sissy boy. Who the manager is is irrelevant. I'll grant you, sissy boy is the best third baseman in St Louis today. Ain't it sweet that lil sissy boy was the number one cause of the cardinals losing the series to a former Phillie Manager. I've had extremely negative thoughts about lil sissy boy for quite awhile but now I have a positive one - ZERO FOR FIFTEEN!
lil scotty, no way you are getting near Mike Schmidt's jock.

6. Rolen will be an All Star for the rest of the decade

Meanwhile, Bowa will be doing what all washed up managers do: Analysis.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, coach. And those who can't do either, do color commentary.

If Philadelphia wasn't such a cess pool for baseball, Scott Rolen and JD Drew would be Phillies today.

7. If drew and rollin weren't selfish sissys

they'd be Phillies today. I don't quite understand "cesspool for baseball" - please feel free to elaborate. I went to Phillie games at Connie Mack back in the 60's, the cesspool thing doesn't ring a bell. If sissy boy rolen is an all star for the rest of the decade (and no one knows if that will happen) he'll have a career to be proud of as Larry Bowa does right now. Bowa, a world series champion; a team player; an emotional son of a gun. Three things lil sissy boy ain't. And let me bore you again, lil sissy boy ain't got the balls to carry Mike Schmidt's jock. Next July will mark the 10th anniversary of the hall of fame induction of the greatest third baseman ever. Keep on getting those MVPs sissy boy.

8. Cesspool for baseball

Happy to elaborate: Lousy franchise, lousy history, lousy fans. 1 championship in 100 + years of franchise history. That pretty well sums it up.

Bowa, a world series champion; a team player; an emotional son of a gun.

And an idiot manager. The fact that he played for Philly's only championship team made them turn a blind eye to it for too long.

But, Larry can't blame anyone for his ineptitude anymore.

2. Yeah, then there was my pick for series MVP

Jim Edmonds.

Hit like .040

Yikes.

9. loserville?

You know I can take a little grief for my team losing. But when you start blasting my city -- my home.

Fuck you.
