At least they won't face Hudson or Smoltz in this series... $:-\$

Total of 2 wins on the season after this series what?

PhillyPhreak54 · April 09, 2006, 10:15:32 PM

Shoot, Hudson and Smoltz were touched up a little bit themselves. All I know is that they might have lost more than they thought when Leo mazzone went to BAL. Outside of Villareal and that Ray dude, their pitching has sucked balls.

But either way, the Phils better get the bats going.

Congrats, they've put themselves in a must perform well situation for this mini road trip. In the second week of April. Yikes.

Dude, its the Phillies. It wouldn't be the Phils if it wasn't a must win 6 games into the season.

At least the Braves pitching sucks ass. And Larry Jones hurt his knee pretty bad today too

i went to the abreu game yesterday and ate six $1 hotdogs...great game that was ruined while listening to the second half of the dh driving home

Gillick was on Sports Final last night. one of the things that John Clark asked about was a report that the Phillies payroll went from 95 million last year to 88 million this year, something Howard had been saying.

Gillick said it's absolutely untrue and that their payroll is closer to 96 million. He said that published report didn't take into account that they are paying 7 million of Jim Thome's contract.

so, it sounds like the payroll for their actual players is around 88 million but they are counting Thome's salary towards their budget, which is just wonderful.

I thought that was pretty much known. The cash given in a trade has to come from somewhere....

it shouldn't count against the player salaries budget

PoopyfaceMcGee · April 10, 2006, 10:19:13 AM

Where should it count? It's a player's salary.

SunMo · April 10, 2006, 10:20:25 AM

not a player playing for them. this isn't the salary cap, this is their budget, they decide what and how much gets spent where.

they should just eat that money and still have the money to spend in the players salary budget.

yes it should

SunMo · April 10, 2006, 10:32:59 AM

no it shouldn't he's not on the roster. but that's probably a little too hard to understand.
