BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Farg David Montgomery. I hope he chokes on his caviar, the effin main line prick.

Another source close to the situation confirmed that the choice was Gillick, who last week said he believed the Phillies didn't need a whole lot of tinkering to get to the next level.

I could almost laugh at this. Almost.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Stand Pat Gillick is here and the only reason is because he sucked on Monty's nuts. Farg him, the loser.

Hunsicker....rub Monty's face in it and go build a winner.

it's pathetic really.  i'll just about guarentee you that he told Montgomery that he would keep Manuel on and I'm sure Hunsicker would give no such guarentee, thus one of the major deciding factors

[SunMo]

nothing says "starting fresh" like a bunch of social security-collecting re-treads

[WEST is GOD]

If that's true then please stop rooting for the team guys. Please.

From CSN.com:

Gillick told Montgomery that he would likely spend a majority of his time in Philadelphia if he got the job.

a team source said, Gillick reportedly believes that the Phillies already have a solid nucleus, to which the new GM praised his predecessor. If anything, Montgomery and the Phillies' brass like to be told that they are on the right track and preside over a team that needs just a scant bit of tinkering. Just ask new Detroit manager Jim Leyland, who during an interview for the manager's job last year informed the team's bosses that the Phils needed a sizable overhaul in order to reach the post-season.

Reportedly, Gillick sang all of the right notes to Montgomery's chorus.

Still Done with the Phils.  Step one was getting rid of Wade they did that but then they screw up step 2 and get the wrong person for this team.  At this point just blow up the new stadium and hope the TB Devil rays relocate, they have a much better future. 

[WEST is GOD]

Randy Miller on WIP said Hunsicker was very angry with the Phillies, and like most of you probably think, he thinks they hired him because he'll do what the Phillies tell him.



I can't believe you all actually support this team. You people are so sad it's pathetic. It's almost like that pathetic girlfriend who gets beat up by her boyfriend and is afraid to leave him because she thinks she loves him.

In life you only love who loves you back. The Phillies don't care about you. Just leave them already enough is enough.

  oh man this is so predictable. what a loser franchise!

[Wingspan]

i may be speaking out of turn here...but what if this guy works out?

[WEST is GOD]

Then they will do good?

[SD_Eagle5]

i may be speaking out of turn here...but what if this guy works out?

We've been saying what if for the past 12 years with the Phils. It's the same old shtein with them, we want Leyland, they hire Manuel. We want Hunsicker, they hire Gillick.

[MDS]

all the season ticket holders and fans that whined about wade should do the same thing about monty
