they'll lose by 5 tomorrow, and i'll be there in person to watch it.

Wear your loud Hawaiian shirt so I can see you and Ryan.

ha... actually i'm a moron and forgot tomorrow is only Tuesday, we're going wednesday. Have my bro/dad/2 uncles/brother in law/not yet bro in law all going, should be a good time. Somehow i dont think they'll have the delicious aloha stadium margaritas served on Christmas Eve

way to score all them runs before i go tomorrow

Quote• Another great tidbit from the ESPN research crew: The Phillies have now done something the Eagles have never done: beat a team from Cincinnati by 21. Biggest margin of victory by the Eagles in a game against the Bengals: nine, in December 2000

jays willing to trade halladay

i think it goes without saying that the phils have a 2 year window here to win a few titles and if they have to sell the farm to win a few more so be it. in my view its worth a 3-4 year set back to win another title or two.

hamels/halladay gives them a great chance to beat the dodgers in the nlcs again, which at this point is a forgone conclusion of a matchup. getting halladay could poss. even help them get homefield.

marson, corrasco, drabek, whatever. who knows if any of those guys will pan out. what we do know is halladay is cy young winner and could get a few more parades down this way.

that goes without saying. i don't think amaro has the ability/cojones to pull it off though.

Not sure what brought the tears to my eyes. The hula girls, hearing Hawaii 5-0 in the background or seeing Madson on the mound.

Don Ho · July 07, 2009, 09:29:19 PM

Utley just saved nimble foot Madson with that effort. Awesome play.

BigEd76 · July 07, 2009, 10:02:14 PM

non-save situation for Lidge = automatic loss

they had a 3-0 lead with the bases loaded and no outs and didn't score again the rest of the game. Pretty much knew it was coming after last night though....

Ha--fantastic.

According to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark, the Phillies are "more interested" in free agent Pedro Martinez "than they're letting on."

The Phils sent special assistant to the general manager Charlie Kerfeld to the Dominican Republic Tuesday to watch Pedro throw. The club won't hand Martinez the $5 million he's seeking, notes Stark's sources, but their offer could be around that.

BigEd76 · July 07, 2009, 10:39:11 PM

pro-rated. he's not getting $5M for half a season

PhillyPhreak54 · July 07, 2009, 10:39:58 PM

Yeah, Pedro is exactly what this team needs!

A 6-inning bullpen burning has been.

Nice effort tonight, shteinbags.

standing o for matt stairs' unintentional intentional walk. holla.

Don Ho · July 08, 2009, 05:24:11 AM

Mayberry was safe.

There, I feel better.
