i thought sassy hated baseball?

Yeah, "barely serviceable" wasn't the best choice of words there.  But I still don't think Bonds was ever really spectacular in LF, regardless of the gold gloves because we all know that the GG is subjective and often times a popularity contest more so than being indicative of actual performance. 

if 2nd all time in assists isn't spectacular then i can't wait to hear what you think of the guy in 3rd place.

I don't know who is in 3rd place but he probably sucked. And killed dogs and spit on fans and took a called 3rd strike to end an LCS.

Anyway, I went and looked up Bonds' career fielding numbers and they are much better than I thought. I'll be damned though if I can't recall a single spectacular play he ever made.  Probably because he was such a great hitter even before the roids not to mention that I always think of Sid Bream whenever Bonds comes up.

Dude, Brandon Duckworth is on CSN right now. I had no idea he was still in the league, let alone still in the Phillies farm system. Holy shtein.

[Don Ho]

Now there's a name we haven't heard in awhile.  Where is he playing?

[charlie]

I beleive he was signed to lehigh valley during the season this year.

Lopes won't be back, and it's because of money.  He thinks he's worth more than just a regular 1B coach

[ice grillin you]

they dont run anymore anyway

[PhillyPhreak54]

How much more does he want?

It doesn't matter...Prickface hates him anways. Has since he admonished him for talking about the injuries.

[Don Ho]

Get Juan Samuel.

[Munson]

Get Juan Williams

[MDS]

two things:

1. can vegas open an over/under line for shane victorino stolen bases next year? because holy hell him running without lopes is gonna be brutal.

2. very telling that they wouldnt give lopes the extra 100k or whatever he was looking for. they wont budge on a 1st base coaches salary they certainly arent budging on werth, contreras, durbin, etc.

Lopes: "I undertand the pecking order ... pitching coaches, hitting coaches, bench coaches. I wasn't looking for that kind of money."

Lopes on quitting: "If people say it's monetary. I say it's principle. You value the people that you have, you compensate them for it."

Ruben Amaro being a fleshpophead again.

Shocker.

[MDS]

is it amaro or is it monty and the silent partners?

[Rome]

it's amaro.  they could ticket prices two cents each and pay for lopes' raise out of pocket change.

bottom line is amaro wants to shake things up and new blood is his idea of getting better.
