    Glad to see everyone supporting this. I don’t get how any objective person can even pretend that Philly can be considered on of the best in the US.... or anywhere close

    If I am making $300 mil...I would gladly take a $50 mil cut to not have to live there for ten years.

    The Atl minus traffic is a pretty cool city. Manny hit the jackpot in more than one way. It’s hard to beat living in San Diego (although the park is nothing special to me).

    Last time I was in Philly for any amount of time, I was pan handled by 3 different Ben Franklin's in a 2 block area, two of which offered to have sex for money. I was a little concerned until I saw that they were making the same offer to everyone regardless of race, creed, sex, national origin, etc. Hey, it is the city of brotherly love.

    I did learn that one Benjamin can get you 5 Ben Franklin's in Philly if your bell rings that way.

    Kershaw having trouble with his shoulder now. If he goes down they are hurt big time. If Kershaw is still hurting next week then I could see them move on Keuchel.

    That's one for the plus column. Now you're making me reconsider my opinion of Philly.

    It's pretty clear he doesnt wanna go there.

    I think he's probably gonna go to Philly but if he wanted to be there, he'd have signed there a long time ago.
    new york is an hour away. and NYC is kinda ass anyways.

    atlanta is literally the least impressive city i've ever been to. i was thoroughly disappointed. it offers basically nothing philadelphia offers.
    and i won't even address north dakota.

    every single city i've been to is as "dirty" as the last. when i've been in atlanta, it feels WAY more dirty. and is exceptionally drab.
    never been to TN. i also do not want to go to TN.

    it's extremely common for people from the south to talk **** on great northern cities like Philadelphia. just please stay in atlanta, or go to ND where people don't really want to live (for good reason).

    Dodgers are apparently “back in” on Harper, tho seeking a short term deal. At this point I hope the saga drags on a couple more weeks so that he’s not ready to play by Opening Day

    If the dodgers get Harper, Philly will end up giving Dallas and Kimbrel 200 million dollar deals. All that money and no one to spend it on haha

    Philadelphia, ms, actually. We don't cry like the other Philadelphians over random posts on the internet.

    Don’t hate on others because you have to live in philly. We still love you for who you are not what crappy city you live in. I am sure there are worse places to be. But I think the consensus here is that philly is pretty awful city. Hell you can’t even buy a beer at a gas station. Had to go to some booze store. What kind of anarchy is that ****.
