6’2″ 150? Holy crap! I’m 6’0″ 155 and I’m generously described as “wiry.”

Yeah, whatever. It doesn’t change the fact that I really want a beef.

I wouldn’t frequent that place too much, in fact every few months is perfect, only b/c you will not live very long otherwise.

Gator would say you should put a picture of Arepas! The daily Venezuelan staple of choice.

Yes, yes it is. And there is one like 2 miles from my office. But, alas, I haven’t been in months. I need to remedy that soon….

That is f@cking awesome beef. Portillo’s is the a reason to wake up in the morning.

How did you know that I had Portillio’s on the brain today? That, Sir, is not a bad beef.

True story: I had to wait at the window for my Whiz wit’out one day because they needed to add more water to the Cheez Whiz as it was getting too thick. My appetite was slightly affected.

Sean,

Take that press release with a grain of salt. This guy won’t pitch at least for 2 weeks. If he’s experiencing pain today while throwing a bullpen session, how can they state he will pitch on Monday? Who knows.

seanmk — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:39:33 +0000

he’ll be pitching monday

By: halladaysbiceps

halladaysbiceps — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:38:41 +0000

Yep.

press release says hamels scheduled to start on monday against the reds, so this is no deal at all. if anything helps philles in contract since it’s a DL trip

By: halladaysbiceps

halladaysbiceps — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:38:09 +0000

Who knows when he will be ready to pitch again. A guy just called into WIP here in Philly and said that maybe this is a good thing, so Cole can rest for the playoffs. What a moron! When a pitcher goes on the DL, it’s never a good thing.

By: seanmk

seanmk — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:35:59 +0000

not sure what to read into it since he was going to start friday, but is eligible to come off the dl on sunday since it’s retroactive. Orr could just be a bench help with ibanez hurt

Mr. Jason "El Bravo" Heyward — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:35:34 +0000

ouch, better throw weaver money at him. too soon?

Mr. Jason "El Bravo" Heyward — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:35:07 +0000

So how about them teams not named the Phillies? I figured this would be a good comments area/post to talk about all things not Philly related…

I’ll start. Man, isn’t it funny how a bad Italian beef sandwich can taste just like a horsemeat sandwich? AH DAMN IT!

Yeah. Just broke a couple of minutes ago on sports radio here in Philly.

15-16 year old kid? If you make it to the majors, we’ll see you in 6 years.
