How can ANYONE seriously defend Pat Burrell and say he doesn't suck?

I'm completely dumbfounded over this. Amused, too.

I havent been SRS this whole time!

You could have a lot of fun coming up with words to put before "Gobblers."

mpmcgraw · October 17, 2006, 08:30:13 PM

O yea, more and more people are reporting that the Phillies are indeed going to make a serious run at either Soriano or Ramirez. Even my super secret inside source said it is true (he is more reliable for info on minor leaguers, but he still gets some info on possible moves with the big club).

It's one thing if Eskin just says it, but this is starting to pick up some steam...

please don't get my hopes up for Soriano...i won't be able to take the hurt of not getting him

All 3 new coaches have alot of experience in different positions, including manager. I don't think that can be a bad thing. Lopes managed a horrible Brewers team, I think he'll be the biggest impact and the future manager of the team.

Geowhizzer · October 17, 2006, 09:20:43 PM

I'm just depressed to think that Davey Lopes is 61 years old.

I watched the man play 2nd base for the Dodgers.

Ramirez isn't even a FA...yet. So if he stays in Chicago, it's Soriano or bust? Mhmmm.

ice grillin you · October 19, 2006, 10:24:03 AM

they dont need nor should they get soriano...the 1b and 2b suck and the corner OF's are terrible defenders as well...the last thing they need is another horrible defensive player....runs are not a problem for the phillies...they need better defense in the outfield and pitching....

of course i support getting protection for howard but not at sorianos cost and defensive liabilities

SWING ANF LONG DRIUVE HOMER RUN BAT PATTURRELL!!
