    haha just wait until they get their own stadium and then they'll be able to afford the great players that their great scouting department discovers.


    THATS what they are waiting for??? a new stadium??? They have been dumping guys left and right since they won the World Series

    yea man, the Marlins don't own any part of Dolphins Stadium. they don't make money off of parking, drinks, food or anything like that. it's all game tickets and revenue sharing. that's the problem. I BELIEVE (being away for school it's hard to keep up) that they finally got a stadium location and funds approved for them to get a new stadium that they will own and make money off of.

    edit: oh and nothing will compare to the fire sale they had after the '97 World Series lol. that was ridiculous. at least after the '03 WS they retained some players.

    Utley may be leading the NL in home runs right now, but Jones has a better batting average and has driven in more runs thus far. At this point in time, Jones has done more to put his team in a position to win than Utley, which would make him more deserving right now. A month from now, we'll probably be talking about two completely different players for the mvp, so it's not even worth talking about this early in the season...


    If you are awarding the mvp this early then you have to consider chipper jones. Just as good numbers as utley at this point.
    But it's so stupid to even think about naming someone an mvp candidate 3 weeks into the season. I blame baseball tonight because they were talking about it. Hell, Nate Mcclouth could be in the running too.

    my argument was in support for Chipper...I stated that Chipper has a better average and more RBIs and has done more to help his team win

    but then I also said that we'll probably be talking about 2 different players in a month's time....

    on a sidenote: just watched John Smoltz get his 3000th career strikeout....way to go Smoltzie!

    True, but they have twice as many World Series titles as the Phillies in their short history.

    The last person to win the Triple Crown was Yaz and in the NL it hasn't happened since the 30's.

    I think he means by trifecta - the third straight MVP award by a Phillie after Howard and Rollins the last 2 years.
