    So the Red Sox sign Moncada. God damn it. If anything maybe this means some of their previously untouchable prospects might be available in a Cole trade...

    If you believe the reports from Peter Gammons the Sox will not part with Blake Swiheart or Mookie Betts.

    if they're contending come trade deadline and think hamels can put them over the top, don't you think they may be more open to including them now? especially with the yankees going through a down time? they just acquired one of the best prospects in the game...

    I could see them trading betts since his positions overlap with moncada, assuming moncada hits early in the year but I don't see the catcher going anywhere.

    Yeah, that's possible. In fact the Sox should hold out until trade deadline, to see where there at in the standings . Who knows, it may not be Hamels. Sox don't like to pay pitchers in there 30's 20+ MILLION per. Should be interesting what happens with Hamels though. Phillies need to re-stock there Minors.

    Betts is so athletic that he can play just about anywhere. Plus, again, if you believe the reports the Sox think Betts is going to be a special player. Agree with the catcher as he's SUPPOSE to be a real good defensive catcher who switch-hits. But, these are the type of players the Phillies need.Can Amaro get any kind of these players?

    Dodgers are the best shot. Id love to see something like seager and zach bird

    Prob a better chance of lee getting traded than there is of hamels being moved. I really hate amaro

    Also the phils cheapness in the international market is almost as bad as their resistance to analytics. I hope they go 0-162

    Has anyone seen this Goldbergs show on ABC yet? It's kind of like The Wonder Years but more of a comedy and it takes place in 1980's-ish suburban Philadelphia. So not only are there 80's pop culture refences left and right but every 30 seconds or so there is some kind of random Philly reference.

    Wawa has been featured in a few episodes. They even show the old logo and shit (though in the show it sells alcohol). The one kid had Sixers and Eagles posters hanging up in his room. He was wearing a Tim Kerr jersey in this week's episode. This week they did a Ferris Buehler thing and they went and saw a Phils game at the Vet and almost caught a foul ball but a Von Hayes looking Phils player swiped it away from the kid---they even had the old school 80's jersey about right (though I think it was the gray road one now that I think of it--still cool though). A few weeks ago they had an episode that centered on Eagles fans and fraud Cowboys fans.

    Jeff Garlin plays the dad (fat guy from Curb). He's hilarious. Check it out if you haven't done so yet. I can't believe how on point a lot of their references are to this area. The guy who created it is from around here somewhere.

    I've been watching it from day 1. It's a great show. He's from the Willow Grove area.

    Yeah it is. I'm surprised it doesn't get talked about much, unless I'm not paying attention. The older brother has the same Randall Cunningham poster I had when I was a kid. Haha

    the kid wears a Flyers jersey in every episode. And one episode I saw Jeff Garlin talked about getting ready to sit down to watch Dickie Noles pitch in the 1980 World Series. I've only seen it a few times but it's not bad and yes a ton of references to the area.

    Is it possible for the Philadelphia schools to be any more of a disaster?

    Yep, it most certainly is. What a joke. Not only can we not fund the schools, but we apparently can't run them either. Good god. Such a shame that I am going to eventually have to leave the city because of this shit show.

    I saw jeff garlin do standup at helium. He got heckled so badly that he walked off the stage (he eventually came back). His standup was just ok but the heckler was top notch. He kept calling him mike golic

    Never saw the show. Network tv shows are the same as terrestrial radio (fm and am), in that theyre mostly terrible.

    kudos to Curt Schilling. guy can be a lout sometimes but I respect the hell out of him for standing up for his daughter against scum bag guys (one a yankees employee....shocking) on social media. it's amazing what some people will do or say on social media. it's a shame because social media can be such a great information tool but then people act like total tools on it.

    haha...calling him mike golic seems appropriate for some reason. they are mostly garbage--this one is actually worth watching

    Yeah, and he is good but his curb character is not who he is. I like him in curb but in general the guy takes himself too seriously. I have heard him in a few interviews that were just painful. He was pretty much straight up rude to the host
