Asked Delmon Young if he was anxious to get on the field: "No. I'm not anxious at all. It's cold out. It's only March 6."

The anti-Halladone

[QB Eagles]

I'm glad he feels that way because I'm not anxious to see Delmon Young on the field either.

A few snippets I remember hearing between Mikey Miss and Jayson Stark this afternoon:

- Halladay was throwing 86-88 mph today.  Topped out at 89.
- Utley is looking better than at any time in the past two years.
- Howard may be getting "sent a message" by playing in every game thus far.  Mentioned being "out of shape."

Stark said that the Phils could be playing in October, or they could be selling in July.  Nothing like hedging your bets, Jayson.

Haha I heard that part and thought he was pretty clear in saying that the outcome for their season is so wide open, but still lol

He was saying something about how awesome their one catching prospect has been too

Tommy Joseph?

He's looking pretty good.

[Munson]

Tommy Joseph?

He's looking pretty good.

Thank you, couldn't remember the name.

He said he's looked good enough that it might make Valle trade bait, and then got into how they'll have to figure out a way to phase Joseph in over the next couple years, saying it'd probably be for theb est if they find a way to keep Ruiz for another year or two after this.

Couldn't they just keep Valle and maybe convert him to 1B? Even if Howard is still effective in two years, his body isn't going to let him stay in the line up every day, and if Joseph really is all that, they could use Valle as a bench C/1B option to give those two guys a break, no?

[Don Ho]

Apparently Tommy Joseph has looked good. 

LOL at the mesage being sent to Choke.  What, 12 straight days!  HA!

[MDS]

by all means waste him away in AAA in april during roidheads suspension so kratz and humberto quintero can get at bats

or give him 2 starts, see him make 1 mistake and then watch charlie get impatient and whine to rube about it

[Don Ho]

HOF batting .424 this spring.

Phillies fan.. How about Sebastian Valle swinging at people with his catchers mask.. #stupid

[Rome]

5,013 in attendance today for the Phils at Houston.  No exaggeration it was at least 90% Phillies fans.

[Munson]

Magic Hat #9 in a can? hm.

[Rome]

Do what you gotta do, Munson.

BTW: Wasn't a fan but there was no way I was drinking farging Michelob Ultra today...  Sorry Beer Gods.
