subject: Losing Team

SC>       I am a Phillies fan, but don't start feeling sorry for me yet.
SC>There are a lot of good things happening on the field even if the win
SC>column does not look so impressive.  Scott Rolen at third base is a
SC>legitimate phenom.  He has turned in a few spectacular plays in the field
SC>in this young season.  Rico Brogna at first has also been playing at
SC>potential gold glove caliber.  He has saved some of the other infielders
SC>throwing errors with his spectacular catches.  Mickey Moradini and Kevin
SC>Stocker round out a young player base that will be interesting to watch
SC>develop over the years.
     Yes but it would be more fun if the team won more with the people
that make great plays and have future talent to the game.  But i guess i
can see what you mean, through the type of season the Mets had last
season.  But i am a St. Louis Cardinals fan.
SC>       I think the Phillies are moving in the right direction getting
SC>athletic young players who can develop into solid players.  Wendell Magee
SC>was an outstanding football player in college and Scott Rolen was
SC>outstanding in other sports as well.  As soon as Wendell figures out how 
o
SC>hit ML pitching he will be an impressive player .
      Yeah i am sure a lot of rising stars are out there that we still
havn't seen yet due to many reasons.  I think also players that play the
game but don't have much impact to it for many years sooner or later
become a better player or become a great player.
SC>      Anyhow, the point I am trying to make, is that there are a lot of
SC>things worth watching if you pay close attention.  Winning the game just
SC>puts some icing on the cake.  If I want to see a winner, I'll watch the
SC>Wilmington Blue Rocks, who had the highest winning percentage in minor
SC>league ball last year.   As a matter of fact, I have tickets for this
SC>Wednesday.   See you at the ball park!
     Hah, well i guess if you put it that way.  That no matter if the
team does good or bad during each season that you got indivudual players
to follow up.  But the sad part is that you know that one day that
player might not be on your team anymore and you have to like give him
up over someone else to watch in his place.
