no to Pizza

"Pizza is gonna send out for you"

Again.

As long as the Phillies get the pitching they need, does it matter to you that they are paying $7 mil on a backup catcher for 1 year? Of course he's not worth it, but it's not your money. And it's probably not even $7 mil.

LUNACY!!

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I think I want to see Romey and IGY fight about this again.

Borowski a Phillie
Oh wait, he didnt pass his physical

1 year deal may be coming....

[SD_Eagle5]

Phils back out of Borowski deal. That sucks, he would be a great pickup if healthy.

[Eaglez]

Yeah, but Borowski would have only been great if he had a viable shoulder.

If the shoulder is that serious that he won't pass a physical, and he's a pitcher that is going to play every other day, then tying up money long term when he has a history of shoulder problems and is 35 is probably a smart business decision.

Being a Rutgers product, however, it seems like he wants to be in and around the area. So looks like they might get him for a year, which is all good.

Seven million dollars for Mr. Norristown?

Ha.


Pass.

It's Phoenixville.  Tommy LaSorda is from Norristown. 

I was the bat boy for a few games that spring when Piazza was playing a PHS. My cousin was on the team. Piazza pitched and played 1st. His brother played SS, my cousin played C and they had a guy named Creighton Gubanich who hit a GS in his first ML AB with Boston playing LF. I was like 8 or 9 that year. You all care.

Hopefully Borowski signs for 1 year. Gotta get someone.

Phillies OF Pat Burrell could be traded to Texas, according an industry source. The Phillies are looking for either an outfielder or setup man. Brad Wilkerson might be included in the package back to to Philly.

Rockies right fielder Brad Hawpe isn't going anywhere and the starting rotation could return intact as well. After receiving inquiries from the Cardinals, Phillies and Pirates, the Rockies assured Hawpe's agent Tuesday that they have no plans to trade the 27-year-old slugger.

[SD_Eagle5]

The real question is will he waive his NTC to go to Texas.

Pujols:  waaaah.....I should have been MVP

[Rome]

Rather than just say "congratulations to Ryan" he pisses about losing like a little Hoyda.

God, I hate it when professional athletes run their sewers.
