I like where this thread is going.

QuoteAccording to Olney, the Phillies on Sunday night engaged the free-agent third baseman in a conference call, where the framework of a four-year, $50 million deal was discussed. After Lowell spoke with general manager Pat Gillick, assistant GM Ruben Amaro and manager Charlie Manuel, there was a period of about an hour or so where it looked like Lowell was going to sign with the Phillies. The offer would have been formalized if Lowell had agreed to the deal.

$12.5 mil a year for Lowell? Probably a good thing he's staying in douchevlle.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

yeah Helms/Dobbs is going to be awesome
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

I give credit to the Phils for doing as much as reasonably possible to get him.

MDS

It beats having an albatross contract on the books for the last two years of the deal. Either way, it's moot. And I'm going to beat your heathen ass in both fantasy leagues so I'd just be quiet and go back to flirting with igy.

considering they have a self imposed budget and wouldnt spend that money on things they need...yea. Remember by that time you expect Howard and Hamels to get mega deals. Rollins and Utley's contracts are bigger. Less to money to spend on needs.

White Sox might be close to getting Torii Hunter
