still hearing rumblings of 3rd team in lee mix. word is offer much lower than NYY's, but it's also a place lee loves

hmmmmmmmmmm

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Incredible that Lee would even consider coming back after they even gave his number to Halladay.  I couldn't imagine he actually would, but sheeeeet.  Plus, the Yanks will still give him a 3-year deal after his 4-year johnson with the Phils is done.

so they want a 4th pitcher to be frustrated by a total lack of run support?

all the pitching in the world cant make up for the fact that this lineup is old and washed up

IGY?

[MDS]

no, its reality

rollins = finished
choke = choke
utley = walking injury/60% of what he once was
polanco = old
ibanez = barbaro
victorino = dumbass
rightfielder = mediocre
chooch = terrific but hes always going to be a bottom of the lineup guy

how about spending some money to fix the corner outfields you piece of shtein rube

Yo yo yo....quit being negative, you sonofabitch!

How dare you! You ride my sack all year long and now you're blasting away like you've got a sawed off. Hush YO mouf.

[Munson]

I'm pretty sure the Giants just proved you can win a WS with ridiculous pitching and a old, crappy line up getting hot at the right time. Difference is, if Choke and/or Utley get hot, they're better than the entire SF line up combined.

[MDS]

dont get me wrong in the regular season they will be great, but winning 100 games and the nl east doesnt mean anything

in the playoffs its all about situational hitting and in that category  this current lineup is as awful as munson is at life

Rosenthal confirms they're still bidding on Clifford.

Another source with knowledge of the Phillies' budget said then that it would take, "Nothing short of a miracle," for the team to make the finances work.

Yeah, the budget talk again.

[Eagles_Legendz]

Heyman said they're trying to find takers for Blanton and Raul to free up cash.

I don't think Blanton would be that hard to move.  He really isn't that overpaid.  Glue factory on the otherhand...

[Munson]

Yeah Blanton's actually pitched decent. He's a great #4 and a lesser team could pass him off as their #3...


I say offer to pay half of Raul's salaray and just take the 5-6 million that you'll get out of it. No way a team eats that whole salary.


But that'd still be 14 mill free to pay Lee...what.....20 mil? 22 mil? So the payroll goes up 8 million...the Phillies will make that within the first few home games of the year.

[SunMo]

salisbury says a decision is close and the phils are a finalist

[Eagles_Legendz]

this would be hilarious.

[Munson]

Jesus farg.

I'm getting excited, it would farging suck for him to not come here now hah.




Can you imagine the ovation he would get in his second, first home game here? The fans would go nuts.

Boras is a genius
