2006 Philles Season Thread

[Geowhizzer]

Heard something interesting on the Nats broadcast.

Apparently Lieberthal is willing to:

1.  Sign for significantly less next season, and
2.  Be the backup catcher "if necessary."

Thoughts?

[Sgt PSN]

If they were talking about him playing for the Nats then I'm all for it. 

[Geowhizzer]

Whoops, forgot to add that part:

Apparently, it's very important for Lieberthal to end his career with the Phils.

[Sgt PSN]

Then what's he still hanging around for?  It's been over for like 5 years.

Jesus Christ Ryan Howard takes some super-steroids.

That one ties Schmidt for the club record - with a month to go in the season.

This guy is absolutely amazing.

Schmidt is my all time favorite player and I'm happy and sad to know his record is about to not only fall, but get obliterated.

Yeah, I was kind of sweating that in Jim Thome's first year here because he was knocking them out of the park left and right.  And I loved Thome but did not want to see him break that mark....especially not in his first year. 

I suppose seeing Howard break this record will be easier to deal with in 10 years if he's still a Phillie.

I'm in full agreement, Sarge.  Schmidt was/is my favorite as well, and it's good to see that a home-grown talent, and seemingly a nice kid, is the one to get it.

And then, realizing that Schmidt set the record 26 years ago makes me feel damn old.

Good win tonight. Too bad Fultz had to make it semi-interesting in the 9th.
