ok youre clearly making this up. those 4 were the journeymen catchers on the phillies in the mid 90's.
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.

There is at least one more. I will not give the first clue until PG guesses.

I liked Lenny Webster. Thought he was going to be a good catcher when he was in the Twins system.

He was here for two seconds. I'm sure and Loserthal are real tight.

why do people act like Bobby A would be upset with trade rumors?  dude doesn't care about anything, i doubt that he remembers that he even plays baseball during the offseason.

oh, and this rumored move regarding the broadcasters will suck, as others have mentioned.  not just because Wheeler is on TV the whole game, but also because Scott Grahm will get 3 innings on TV and I farging hate that fake voice jerkoff.

i couldn't care less about Larry Anderson, he's a bore.
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

He spent all of '95 with the Phils. Also, '96 Spring Training.

Form letter generic response from Larry Shenk:

QuoteThank you for taking the time to contact the Phillies.  We appreciate your interest and input.



            First, please be assured that there is not the slightest truth to the suggestion that the Phillies do not want Harry Kalas to continue broadcasting our games.  We are well aware that Harry is a treasure not only for the Phillies but for the entire Delaware Valley.  We are both lucky and proud to have this Hall of Fame announcer in the booth, now and in the future.



            Second, as you know, Tom McCarthy has taken a broadcasting job with the New York Mets. His departure caused us to re-examine our broadcasting lineup.  One thought was to have the announcers do less cross over between radio and television.  That remains an option, along with several others under consideration.



No final decision has been made, but it is important that we think about all the possible ways we might achieve our ultimate goal of providing the best broadcast package for our fans.  In making these decisions we fully understand the connection broadcasters make with fans.  It is one of baseball's strengths and we don't want to do anything to diminish those connections.

           

            Again, thanks for expressing your opinions. 



Larry Shenk

Vice President, Public Relations

Horseshtein.

If they understood the fans connections this wouldn't even be an issue right now.

Harry Kalas is a legend and you don't treat a legend with 35 years of service in your organization like this.  Ever.
