"Vicente looks awesome tonight."

"Ah geez....here we go again.....look how slow he is in the stretch....look how distracted he is....I sense a big inning now...*whine*"
*another single*
"Oh brother...GET HIM OUT OF THERE...Whitey hated you, Harry...geez...*sigh*...*whine*..."

Couldn't they have sent Wheeler to the Mets instead of McCarthy?

Speaking of which, I have to email McCarthy to tell him how utterly disappointed I am in him for being such a traitor. 

[BigEd76]

He lives in Jersey, the Mets had an opening for a radio guy, and he was blocked by Kalas and Graham, so I can see why he did it...

[PhillyGirl]

He would have been great with Harry instead of Wheeler, was my point.

[MDS]

A block of cheese and Whitney Houston all coked up would be better than Wheeler.

i'd take McCarthy over Graham anyday.  i can't stand that pretentious, hackey fake radio voice.

[PhillyGirl]

Ditto.

Ugie


Guy who said he burned him



Ugie says he's being extorted

ESPN article

What a crazy farging story this is. I'm a little surprised this isn't a bigger topic locally. (or from what I've seen, so far)

Don't forget the refernces to him being a basket case and a nutjob. What'd he used to say all the time? Something about 'Look at this...what planet is he on?"

[PhillyPhreak54]

I think Ugie is being framed for money too. His home country is crazy....

It was a blip on the radar here when it first happened but Philadelphia sports scene has become nothing but the "piss and moan about Donovan McNabb" show. Thats all they talk about on the radio.

The only thing they said about it was "Oh look, our backup plan at closer is in jail accused of attempted murder....so anyways, that bum McNabb has to go!"

Also...

The guy rumored to be involved in the David Bell deal is Duaner Sanchez.

This trade needs to get done. I wanted Sanchez last year when the Polanco rumors started flying. He'd be a great 7th innning guy.

Just getting rid of Bell will be a plus.  I hope PG is right and they have something in mind for SP since Padilla could hold his own.

How about these trade suggestions? I don't know if they've been posted before:

Basically, the idea was floated by Marzano--The Phils send Abreu to the Orioles straight up for Tejada. Then they turn around and send Rollins, Pat Burrell, and Gavin Floyd to Boston for Ramirez and Matt Clement. Total hit to the payroll would be 6M.

I stopped reading the post when I saw Marzano made them up.

There is as much credit in that as if one of us thought them up.

What's wrong with Marzano?  IMO, he's a great baseball anaylist.
