I tried to explain to a buddy of mine the definition of tanking and he couldn't grasp it baseball-wise.

How do you tank with nine guys?

Ummm.... like this.

 Trust the process. In 12 years, no one will be able to touch the Phillies all-Moniak team.

the white sox are outright tanking...theyve been selling off their players except for abreu. the phillies are just bad. in fact they spent money on saunders, kendrick, buccholz, hellickson, neshak and benoit in an effort to inflate their payroll specifically from an optics standpoint. if ownership didnt give that directive they would have even fewer wins.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

got to see kilome in person last night...had some control issues but still scattered 3 hits over 8....man is he a specimen...so young still but looks like a man amongst boys...such an at ease motion where the ball just explodes out of his hand

vv out for the year...shocking

interesting signing of henderson alvarez. he had a very good season in 2014, which was the last time he was healthy. hitting 98 recently. why not.

Yeah not a bad signing at all...doesn't hurt to take a flyer. Interesting he's up to 98 bc I don't recall him having that velocity before

What an AB by Blanco

14 pitches and then a homer
