Phillies Offseason Thread 12-13

[BigEd76]

Or the Nats come back to earth, not sure yet.  They pretty much went start to finish last year without much of a challenge, then they folded in the DS.  If the Phils are more like last September than what we saw leading up to that, and the Braves offense keeps them in games, the Nats could potentially crumble.  Or they win the division again, who knows.  I'm not sold on the Braves at all.  Their offense looks good on paper, but Kimbrel is the only pitcher of theirs that I like.  The rotation is questionable, and if they have more games where their starters are going only 4 or 5, it means the bullpen is gonna get even more abuse than the last few seasons

Jonny Venters made his first appearance in 2 weeks today and left the game with an elbow injury, so you have that going for you

lol at the nationals losing 14 more games this year than last

lol @ folded

drew storen folded. the team did not. they had game 5 won their closer choked. now they have a new one.

i understand its tough for people to grasp but the nationals are really really really good. maybe bryce harper will die and starsburgs arm will fall off. we can only hope.

To me, the Nats are the beast of the division for the next three years at least (barring injuries, of course).

what sick about the nats is that strasburg could die today and theyd still have a better rotation than the phillies....and for that matter most teams in baseball...barring an injury epidemic theres just no way they dont win the division much less win less than 85 games which is lol homertastic

The Phils are worth $893M, behind the Yanks, Dodgers, Red Sox and Cubs (all worth at least a billion).  Looks like they're gonna renew their CSN deal too instead of going for their own network

Crazy what 1 WFC will do.

I hope they're going to ask for a shteinton more money?

[MDS]

the phillies cant star their own network unless they get the sixers or flyers to go in with them

flyers obviously are out. sixers' building is owned by comcast and i think they still might have a small stake in the team (easy?). either way they dont have a partner...like the nets on yes and bruins on nesn...so therefore they have no choice but to crawl back to csn.
