    To me it really all comes down to whether or not he got a ntc. Knowing what we know about amaro, I'm sure he gave him one. Which means they just flushed another $16 mill down the shitter.

    Also, I will take Law over any other analyst in the industry. Dude is right a whole hell of a lot more than he is wrong. He's the best out there.

    I really don't even care any more. I want this team to go down in flames so amaro gets canned. That's the only way they are becoming relevant again. Amaro = Doug Collins/Larry Brown, only worse...which I didn't think was possible

    Would you rather a title this yr or suck so Amaro gets fired?
    Dude, this team has zero chance of winning a title. They will be lucky to finish .500
    I don't disagree,but what would you prefer honestly?
    Go Birds!!!!

    between a WS title and amaro getting fired? seriously? of course I'd rather have the WS. But hoping for that is the equivalent of me hoping to win the Powerball jackpot. It's not realistic

    Try some perspective for a change. Only thing saving this franchise from themselves is getting rid of the turd GM. I've been predicting this since the black pear got his insane contract

    im sure there is a limited no trade....but when push comes to shove and he's presented with the chance to pitch in the post season again, have to think he might waive it for a couple months worth of work before retiring. better that than 2 years guaranteed, of course.

    and regarding law, you never miss an opportunity to cut and paste his articles when he is ripping the phils farm system. this year he has them as one of most improved in the league so it's not surprising you didn't bring that up at all. have to be rational about these things. sort of like with andy reid, we all know i believe he overstayed his welcome by a few years at least, but i give the guy credit for his role in the 2012 draft before he was shown the door. its pretty much a moo point anyway as most here are on the same page about the phils being mediocre at best this year.

    anywho....yeah, how bout that snow? you get a lot in baltimore or wherever you live now? fucking february...

    Re: law...I have said before that i gave up trying to talk about the phils farm system around here a long time ago. Id love to discuss kenny giles, dylan cozens, or cord sandberg but i know its an exercise in futility here.

    Maybe this will help you guys see the light...i implore you to subscribe to my amaro philosphy, but hey, ive been saying this for years

    4:51pm: The deal includes a mutual option for 2015 as well as a limited no-trade clause, reports MLB.com's Todd Zolecki. The option value has not yet been reported.

    He really is the worst gm ever

    Well you would probably have a whole lot more respect and credibility around here if you acknowledged things like that.
    Pretty cool to see FanGraphs have 3 Phils prospects in the top 50 too.

    Anyway....

    Definitely dead. That sucks. Another childhood memory crushed - getting old sucks.

    You fuckers that could work from home can suck my balls. These bastards won't give me the option...so I just said fuck it, stayed home and drank this PBC Schwarzinger all day...

    You have the telecommunications act of 1996 to thank for this nonsense.

    Yeah, things evolve and all that but I do not see how this doesn't in some way spark an antitrust suit that actually changes some things.

    Then again, every president is puppet to somebody's strings so I don't know how anything changes till after Obama is out (and cue political discourse of the likes of philly.com commenters...).

    This is a subject - along with the RSN sports cable deals - that I've become more and more obsessed with...been meaning to buy this book and just pulled the trigger.... http://www.amazon.com/Captive-Audience-Telecom-Industry-Monopoly/dp/0300153139/ref=la_B009E9ATYK_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1392389912&sr=1-1

    So the book rotation is backlogged with Devil in the Grove, Signal and the Noise, and now this one. At least something wil keep me busy being inside so much.

    And, yeah, that accident is probably the worst I've ever seen around here.

    RIP Jim. '93 was so much fun.

    I guess i'm in the minority but I don't get all the hate for Comcast. I swear sometimes I think it's just a bandwagon people have jumped on and so everyone bitches about them. I've never had a problem with them and they are basically the most important company for the health of the city of Philadelphia. I wonder if the people in Seattle hate Microsoft and Starbucks as much.
