2010/11 Phillies Offseason Thread

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I blame the underfunded local governments for not issuing fire code violations.

[BigEd76]

Franzke signed an extension through 2016

[ice grillin you]

thats great news

[PhillyGirl]

Lidge threw a BP session and had zero discomfort today.

[SunMo]

was he still throwing as hard as Jamie Moyer?  because i experience discomfort about that

[MDS]

Franzke signed an extension through 2016

if he didnt have "must do tv work" written into his contract he should be shot

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Don't worry, when Chris Wheeler dies in 2027, Franzke will get his shot at the big time.

[ice grillin you]

wheeler really should have nothing to do with franzke...franzke could replace mcarthy today and it wouldnt effect wheels in the least

braodcast would still be awful but exponentially better

[SunMo]

franzke has said many times in the past that he loves working on radio with LA.  feels they can get away with more on radio.

[MDS]

thats company speak

you dont go into tv/radio unless you want attention and to be noticed.

[Rome]

franzke & l.a. are great together.  i enjoy listening to them at work when the phils have day games although i just found out that we're not going to be able to listen to streams on the net anymore. 

why?  who knows.  evidently if you're happy at work it upsets the taxpayers and we can't have that.

[SunMo]

i'm sure they don't want LA on tv because he's too critical of the phillies.

they'd rather have Wheels saying that everything is the opponent making a great play and sarge mumbling something no one understands

[Don Ho]

Critical of the bums?  Why that no good son of a bitch.  We won't tolerate that kind of behavior here.

[Don Ho]

and sarge mumbling something no one understands

oh shtein that's good.

Probably the main reason they keep McCarthy around.  Only one on the staff who speaks Caveman and understands Sarge.

[Don Ho]

Castillo?  Discuss.
