    So I'm hearing there's rumors of a Drabek, Taylor, and Happ deal for Halladay. I'm doing that in a heartbeat.

    It would be fitting for us Met fans if Pedro comes in and pitches lights out, after pitching like shit for our team the last few seasons..

    so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain

    Well, step 1 towards getting Halladay is complete...

    And, hope to see you all at game 3 of the World Series...booooooo to the NL. Ry could've been a hero last night - I really thought he was going to tee off on Nathan once he caught up to his fastball. Same thing with Werth against Papelbon.
    i was already envisioning the non-stop local news coverage of howard coming in to win the game in his hometown. then it would be replayed when they were in the world series and everyone could thank him for home field.

    but.......no.

    Come on you actually thought Howard was going to make contact with 2 strikes??? ;) Once he was behind in the count. every Phillies fan knew what was coming up... swing and a miss... :mrgreen:

    He still took a couple of pitches with 2 strikes on him, which not only surprised me but I thought that would have gave him a chance of catching up to the fastball. Nathan and Mauer(or whoever was behind the plate) did the right thing by throwing one in the dirt because by that time Howard had caught up on the timing. But it's all a matter of reaction by that point, and that's what they were counting on.

    that was a good ass kicking of the Marlins - 6.5 up over the Braves now - looking good and if we somehow get Hallday....(then will have to make choice of PJ or world series games).

    he's the man. if they win the world series this year, people may end up calling the greatest free-agent pick up in history.

    yeah he has been a huge upgrade in the outfield, and I was a big Burrell supporter, but the numbers Ibanez has put up this year are in incredible. Hopefully it continues over the next few months and throughout his contract.

    I was listening to 610 they said Myers is throwing a bullpen session and possibly could be back by mid August he would be used out of the bullpen

    Jack is a lifelong Yankees fan. That's why in the Departed he wore a Yankees hat as head of the Boston mob. Scorsese told Jack it made no sense to do that and Jack goes I'm keeping my hat and then Scorsese agreed that it made him more evil by wearing a Yankees hat in Boston.

    Reports are the phillies countered the jays offer with Happ,Taylor,Carrasco and Donald. And the Jays turned it down right away. I wouldn't give up Happ,Drabek and Brown either in a package. I bet the Phillies offer to the Jays would get u Cliff Lee though. Cliff Lee has been on fire back to back complete games i believe.
    GO PHILLIES!!!!!

    i'd give them all 3 - what are the chances that any of those 3 ends up being as good as Halladay? Very little. I mean as good as a prospect as Drabek is he would have to be the best pitcher in baseball to reach Halladay heights. Even if Drabek ends up being as good as Hamels that is still not as good as Halladay. Flat out if the Phils don't end up getting Halladay it will be the worst move in Philly sports history in my opinion. He would instantly be the 2nd greatest starting pitcher in franchise history behind Steve Carlton. Must make this trade regardless of what prospects needed to give up. I suspect they will and all of this is posturing right now on both sides.
