Right here.   Where else would it be.

You suck at Risk and Madden? Gee Wiz son, it seems someone's life is bound for janitorial duty. Baha,

[mpmcgraw]

That doesnt really make sense, Todd.

The Phils got another "who?" pitcher today......6'3" lefty Bobby Livingston from Tampa Bay for cash....

Update:  the trade was nullified by MLB because they felt the Phils circumvented the waiver rules by paying Tampa Bay to take him.  He went back on waivers and Cincinnati claimed him.  Ah well...

People who can beat me at Madden understood it.

And now he'll turn into a good pitcher. Watch.

As for the Baldelli thing - that makes no sense. Gillick is trying to get better in the pitching dept. so why trade a young potential ace? I don't believe it.

I read this in Buster Olney's column this evening and got a chuckle out of it:

• The Phillies could be interested in catcher Toby Hall, who isn't doing himself any favors with what he's been saying over the last few months. His most recent gem came when asked about the minor league contract that his former team, the Devil Rays, had offered. "That was funny," Hall told the St. Petersburg Times. "I guess it would be a minor league contract because they're a minor league team."

Talked with two GMs who said they weren't interested in Hall partly because of his reputation for being difficult and outspoken.

[MDS]

He's right.

Pat Croce was on ESPNews over the weekend and said that if the Phillies ever tried to sell, he'd be first in line to try and buy.

[Geowhizzer]

GET PAT!

[ice grillin you]

croce was on wip a few months ago saying the same thing...that if the phillies sold hed be all over it

[MDS]

They'll never sell.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]
