Saying it and doing it are two different things.

If I was a Phillies fan, I would be glad he said this. Nothing out of the ordinary here.

[Ruzious]

Yeah, can't fault Francauer for saying that considering he stepped up to pitch yesterday. When you do something like that, your teammates owe it to you to step up.

[Austin]

Franceour can say whatever he wants after yesterday, he earned it.

That said, good luck with that, Philly.

That team is a freaking mess. Maybe he should be offering up ass-whuppin's to people who run it.

[Aristotelian]

I love it. Ton of respect for that guy after last night. I hope they try. I would.want AJ and.our guys to bring the same fire after a bad loss.

If it wasn't for how terrible the Phillies are Franc wouldn't be in the majors right now.

It's a gift just to be able to play in MLB... but that said, it has to suck to know that you are at the exact talent level where the worst teams in the league are the only ones that will hire you. I know these guys are competitive, they have the desire to win... but not the talent needed to get on a team that is capable of doing so.

[ShaneDawg85]

Good on him for saying it, he had every right to. However, maybe they could have stepped up and stopped getting their rear ends handed to them last night, which would have kept Francouer from ever having to pitch. Or better yet, stopped getting their rear ends handed to them this entire season.

Hey Phillies...

[CA-ORIOLE]

I hope they put Frenchy in the lineup these next 2 games.

[El Gordo]

Guess we better change our underwear.

I must have missed something. The Phillies got clobbered yesterday, but do they have any reason to feel aggrieved towards the O's? It's not like we were stealing bases against them in the late innings. It sucks for Francoeur that he had to throw 2 innings, but that's his manager's fault.

I don't think anyone was aggravated at the O's, including Francoeur. Like any competitor who gets embarrassed, he wants to do it back to them. Certainly can understand that.

Agreed. If you read the whole article, it is clear that Francouer didn't mean his comment as a shot at the Orioles.

Now let's go give them another ass-whuppin'.

I can't believe this team has a $143 mm payroll. What a holy mess.
