Don't forget me.  Who's dealing the Pinochle?

[Rome]

I actually started playing golf from the white tees lately.

No more 7,000 yard courses for me.

Mock!

You haven't turned cranky yet.  I expect some real nasty tirades from you come the dog days of summer.

burrell is retiring

My all time favorite Pat the Bat moment:

[BigEd76]

Amaro is considering signing Pat to a 1-day contract so he can retire as a Phil

Also more signs that Wade is back....$1.2M was just spent on Chad friggin Qualls

There really shouldn't be anything to consider.  Just do it.  Granted, Burrell never acheived full potential or lived up to the hype, but he played the overwhelming majority of his career in Philly, had his best years here and helped win the first title in 28 years.  Give him the 1 day deal and let him retire in the same place he started.

Ed Wade?  Did I miss something? 

[BigEd76]

I was joking but if you did miss it...

[Sgt PSN]

Oh, he was hired in December.  No wonder I didn't know about it.  I was up to my eyes in toy distribution for Toys For Tots.

Qualls has not fared well through the years at Citizens Bank Park. In 13 career appearances at the Phillies' home park, he is 2-2 with an 11.12 ERA. He has allowed 21 hits and a whopping seven home runs in 11 1/3 innings pitched there.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Chad Qualls blows.

[MDS]

its 1 year and the money is basically a couple of pennies amaro found under the couch. whatever.

So he only takes the mound on road trips.

over a million bucks for a guy who can only pitch against rhb's is not pennies when you are right at the lux tax...especially when the one position they do have ready in the system are relievers who would make the league minimum and they paid kendrick who is a guy that can play the same role as qualls 3.6 million....

they should have went into spring training and peeped what you had as far as how the kids looked...if they were less than impressive and contreas cant come back then maybe you go out and get someone...this was not necessary at this point in time imo

[MDS]

they make a lot of moves that arent necessary, but ultimately dont matter. like this one.

who were they going to sign with the 'few remaining dollars' they have under the luxury tax? the roster is set. they are who they are.
