Phillies 2010 Season Thread

[Don Ho]

A couple of twitter updates said Dom Brown was no where to be found after the Ironpigs game. Wonder if they're bringing him up for Vic.

Buck Showalter was all over Brown on espn radio earlier today.  Said the kid is the real deal.  Best prospect in baseball right now.

Miller:

Phillies had scout Jim Fregosi, Jr., in KC to watch Greinke on Monday and he'll be in Cleveland on Wednesday to scout Carmona facing NYY

[Munson]

wouldn't mind at all if they could buy low on Greinke.

Victorino said he was hoping to avoid a stint on the disabled list. He intially felt the oblique - located on the left side of the rib cage - grab in the sixth inning while running the bases, then felt it tighten while running to catch a fly ball off the bat of Stephen Drew in the seventh. After making the catch, he walked off the field next to team athletic trainer Mark Andersen.

"I just wanted to be precautionary on that," said Victorino, who went 2-for-4 and scored a run to improve his average to .250. "I don't want to make it longer than we need to. Hopefully nothing's really [wrong] except for it being sore."

wouldnt it have been precautionary to come out of the game in the 6th?

it's embarrassing how long they hold guys down in the minors

[Rome]

They don't want that arbitration clock to start ticking until the last possible second, Mosy.

And yeah, it's embarrassing as hell considering he should be starting in the Majors, not mired in cow-tipping country.

well now.

[Rome]

Is there a better job on earth than baseball scout?

[SunMo]

i know why they are doing it, but it's pathetic

ryan howard didn't start playing here until he was 25

[smeags]

EMB mod maybe ?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

At least 34 wins still needed to make the playoffs, by my count.  Bums.

[smeags]

if all else fails at least your daughter finally got to see a werth homerun.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Well, I told her about it.  It wasn't on the teevee here in MA.
