2006 Philles Season Thread

[ice grillin you]

book the mets series

the wash series is 50/50...the phils are due to lose some games but the nats have absolutely tanked on the season...two opposing forces and it could go either way

[mpmcgraw]

The Mets are due to lose some games too.  They have been hotter than us lately, I think there is a good chance we take that series.   

[ice grillin you]

except the mets are actually a good team and should and have won lots of games...the phils are a .500 team if they are lucky and should not be winning as much as they have...hence they are due to drop back below .500 about now

[BigEd76]

El Duque has been scratched from tomorrow's start.

Wolf vs Bannister
Lieber vs Oliver Perez
Moyer vs Maine

[mpmcgraw]

umm this is off the top of my head, but I am pretty sure Oliver Perez owns us.

Phils interested in Conine

Phillies Are Interested In Conine

BALTIMORE, Aug. 24 -- The Baltimore Orioles and Philadelphia Phillies have had several conversations this week about a possible swap for first baseman-outfielder Jeff Conine, according to a baseball source who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The teams have spoken at least twice, the source said. The only obstacle to a deal is Conine's vesting option for next season, which will kick in when he reaches 450 plate appearances. The Phillies are wary of taking on Conine's contract next season, worth $2 million. Conine has 420 plate appearances.

The Phillies, once thought to be in a rebuilding mode after trading outfielder Bobby Abreu and pitcher Cory Lidle, are 2 1/2 games back in the NL wild-card race. Conine likely would become an outfielder with the Phillies, who have all-star Ryan Howard at first base. Conine, 40, is hitting .265 with eight home runs.

He's only due $2M. After saving so much this year spend the stinkin' money and get him in here. I can somewhat understand the reluctance to take on Reggie Sanders' $5M, but there should be no reason this does not get done.

It'd be nice to see a guy who used to stick a shiv in the Phillies necks help them for once.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Can he still play OF at all?

Not that it matters - he'd be a PH more often than not.

[PhillyPhreak54]

He can't be worse than Pat in LF.

But you're right - his major purpose here would be to provide a RH bat with some pop off the bench.

Why?!?  Isn't that what Danny Sandoval is on the team for?!?!?!??!?!!?!?

[MDS]

What we could do is get him on Aug 31 and only use him enough time to make his PA number hit 449. That'll piss him off.

[Rome]

Wary of taking on $2M?

That's ridiculous.
