Philadelphia Phillies "World farging Champs" 1 Week for Pitchers and Catchers

[PhillyPhreak54]

Sabermetrics are sickening.

Anyone who watches games knows that, while Utley's defense has improved greatly, he's still a hacker. Not Ryan Howard bad, but not exactly reliable.

[SunMo]

i think he's fine...but i wouldn't watch him and say he's GG caliber

[Geowhizzer]

MLB on XM said today that the Phils are making a "serious push" for Matt Holliday.  The two names they mentioned were Carlos Carrasco and Lou Marson.

no.

his range and aptitude with the glove allow him to make more plays on balls that most second baseman could not.  errors are meaningless and anyone with a room temperature IQ should know why.

Howard is horrible because he is a statue and cant throw the ball.

wasnt the saber nerd interweb war old news 4 years ago?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Yes, it's all about Temple college nerds versus UDel college nerds now.

[Munson]

I'm finding it hard to understand how I am a seashell necklace wearer, a trailer park white trash kid, AND a nerd.


An interesting mix indeed.

What Sunny posted.

[MDS]

who cares the phils are gonna get matt holliday. happy hollidays. lol.

[ice grillin you]

ha...dope

[BigEd76]

he'd be a one-year rental because of Boras but they'd get two draft picks when he leaves (plus two more when Burrell leaves)

[LBIggle]

yeah, i dont like them giving up carrasco and marson for a 1 yr rental.  i realize that's what it would take, but i wouldn't pull the trigger unless a contract extention can be worked out, which shouldn't be too hard being as where they play and what they accomplished.

[MDS]

id give up corrasco, not marson.

weve got a 1-2 year window to win more titles so why the farg not.

[ice grillin you]

yep...plus they just won one...everything else is gravy...go for one or two more and then suck for ten years who the hell cares

[MDS]

exactly. chances are they wont sign choke long term and maybe not even cole, so its time to go balls out. even blocking the mets for the next 2-3 years from winning the nl east would be worth it in my view.
