Go team

This article mentions a lot of things, including that it might not be a bad idea to kick the tires on Pat Burrell, Jeremy Affeldt, and Juan Uribe.  


UPDATE: So you're TELLING ME there's a CHANCE?

[BigEd76]

Werth is having a press conference right now to say "later slobs I'm out"

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Is he really?

[BigEd76]

They won't give him more than 5 years, and the economics just don't work unless they're planning to dump Raul and fatass

[Don Ho]

"We'll be back," Shane Victorino said. "Look at our pitching."

No, let's look at the hitting.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Well then, you wouldn't think that they'll be back.  So, Vic would much prefer you focus on pitching, rather than hitting or baserunning.

im really starting to hate shane victorino

[Don Ho]

From Bill Conlin:

Manuel does not run a boot camp in February and March. He likes his hitters to get plenty of swings, but I have written before that the regulars on this team don't get enough exhibition at-bats against major league pitching. Too many ABs are wasted on Phils farmhands destined for the minors.

Even Manuel groused, "I think sometimes we take too damn much batting practice."

Ok than take that extra batting time and work on bunting, base running and fielding.

Like I said earlier, I have always tried to support him, the local boy does good, etc.  I've had it.  He played like absolute shtein the whole series.  The boneheaded base running blunders pushed me over the edge.  Send him back to the Dodgers so the gangbangers can ridicule him.

And send Ibanez on the goddamn turnip truck out of town.
