07/08 Phillies Offseason Thread

Right but between the money he's saving by letting that kid starve and the money he's earning by betting against the Phillies, I'd say he's doing alright.

Making the World Series isn't that much of a stretch for this team.  The National League is so horrendous that even the Phillies could win the NLCS and it wouldn't be that much of a surprise.

Winning the World Series, on the other hand... hahaha.  Talk about easy money.

Starving african children is something i take pride in, along with

You and karma are good friends.

That stillupfront's mom Karma owes me 20 bucks

Matt Smith was DFA'ed, so the trade now boils down to Bobby Abreu and Cory Lidle for Jesus Sanchez and Carlos Monasterios.

Go team.

Don't forget:

That trade is a wash.  Abreu hasn't made the Yankees any better or worse and his absence certainly had no effect on the Phillies up or down.

[SunMo]

i would say his absence had a tremendous positive effect on the team, they played much better after he got traded and won the division the next year

[rjs246]

I would say that it's January and there's no baseball in sight.

[MDS]

I would say the Phillies should have gotten a lot more for a player as good as Abreu.

About 6 weeks to spring training.

What the hell is wrong with you people?

Tell me that when we're talking about football in May.

BTW, just looked it up.  37 days until pitchers and catchers report for the Phils.  My favorite time of year to live in Florida.

Football is a contact sport that involves actual physical prowess to play. Baseball, in its current incarnation, is dominated by fatasses pumped full of 'lidocaine and B-12' with unusual hand-eye coordination. It doesn't even require athletic ability, just bulk and quick wrists. Sounds like bowling. Or masturbation.
