roob was on the pulse of philly the other day raving about michael young

[PhillyPhreak54]

Can anyone name the starting OF?

[ice grillin you]

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I keep wondering why Subway keeps Ryan Howard as a spokesman. Does anyone outside of Philly know who he is?

roob was on the pulse of philly the other day raving about michael young

o/u for him going on the 15 day is may 4

[ice grillin you]

i would put it more like opening day

great chance he gets hurt in spring training no?

[MDS]

well see how they use him

if they start with the cautious route where the say they want to "save" him and ration off his days he can last. but he just goes into normal mode yea it could happen.

if you remember what jim thome looked like at 1b this is gonna go something like that

[ice grillin you]

how many people are going to run on a lance nix michael young relay

[MDS]

you do realize they will be above average at 1 defensive position on opening day. just jimmy.

young - old. utley - knees. choke - lol. kratz - please. nix - seriously. revere - noodle arm. hof - no.

[ice grillin you]

it has all the makings of a titantic collapse

[Sgt PSN]

That would mean they'd have to blow a significant lead late in the season.  Which means that they would have a significant lead late in the season.  You saying the Phils are gonna be 8 games up in the division heading into mid-Sept? 

[ice grillin you]

this needs an explanation........i guess so

this is the season they truly bottom out from the aught glory years

[Sgt PSN]

That certainly makes more sense than what I thought you were saying.

[BigEd76]

Aaron Cook signed.  $1.625M if he makes the majors

[ice grillin you]

i was reading that of pitchers who threw 90+ innings cook has the lowest per nine k rate since 1950
