I worry a bit about their on-again off-again offense against playoff-calibre teams. And the Phils will need Halladay-Lee-Hamels to go at least 7 every time so they don't overexpose the thin bullpen.

Madson I'm fairly confident in. Lidge I'll have to hold my breath. I have little faith in El basticho or Stutes at this point. Worley may be more valuable in the bullpen than he would be as the #4.

Pence:

QuoteInteresting question my brother just asked....Has anyone else been on a 100 win team and 100 loss team in the same season?

Deep thinkers in the Pence clan.

technically he wasn't on a 100-loss team. he was on a 70-loss team.[/igy]

but for those of us that aren't anal, a couple other examples are Fred McGriff in '93 (SD to ATL), Jay Powell in '98 (FLA to HOU) and Jeff Weaver in '02 (DET to NYY)

he also was only part of 34 phillie wins so he wasnt on a 100 win team either

MDS · September 27, 2011, 11:52:18 AM

and technically the phillies only won 100 games because the marlins and braves let them

SD · September 27, 2011, 01:14:25 PM

Technically nobody could win 100 games with one team and lose 100 games with another as there are only 162 games in a season. Who cares anyway.

That's about how many Astro wins he was apart of too.

Just looked it up, and that's actually really close.

On Jul 30, the day of the trade, the Astros had won 35 games. The Phils had won 67.

So if the Phils finish up the season with 102 wins, then he'll have been with each team for exactly 35 wins. FASCINATING!

I know it's Atlanta but can't the fans show up for the most important series of the year? There were more people in Houston last night.

Grit. Nice. Go Team.

Why isn't TBS broadcasting this? MLBN is showing Bos/Bal.

No one really cares if the Braves make the playoffs. Whereas, there are a lot of people rooting for the Sox to complete the choke job.

Sgt PSN · September 27, 2011, 07:31:57 PM

Yeah, I get the logic. Doesn't mean I have to like it.
