2012 - Philadelphia Phillies, At Least Cole is Staying

Rome · July 25, 2012, 10:46:50 AM

How many of these deals do they have to sign before you get it through your head that they're not the bargain basement Phillies anymore?

Sunny... please help him here. I'm begging you.

They're not bargain basement but not wanting to get too deep into luxury tax hell.

Source: #Dodgers deal for Victorino or Pence possible even if team gets Dempster along with H. Ramirez. LA has been in talks with #Phillies.

You can tell RAJ feels like he got gut punched and raked over the coals. Not as smug as usual!

ice grillin you · July 25, 2012, 12:09:51 PM

hard to be smug when the team you put together and crowed about for the last two years sucks

PoopyfaceMcGee · July 25, 2012, 12:11:36 PM

Apparently you didn't watch last night!

ice grillin you · July 25, 2012, 12:12:59 PM

i have heard the last 48 hours have been pretty special

PoopyfaceMcGee · July 25, 2012, 12:18:22 PM

There is noticeable tension here. RAJ must seriously have his face to the grindstone right now.

Cole just called Roy and Cliff "two of the best pitchers in baseball." Not anymore!

ice grillin you · July 25, 2012, 12:25:11 PM

not even the two best pitchers on the team right now

i believe blanton has the best k/bb ratio in the majors

PoopyfaceMcGee · July 25, 2012, 12:26:32 PM

Sounds like he's due for a lucrative extension.

At this point they might be able to get the 3b from Texas and have them take on all of lee's salary. You have to rid yourself of him, you just have to.

olt would be a dream....the latest ive heard is that florida wants him for josh johnson...i cant believe texas would give him up for johnson but if they are even considering it the phils need to jump in the mix asap
