    I would just wait until the winter meetings and arbitration hearings in January and wait till some team doesn't offer arbitration on an OFer and pick up someone then. That's how we got Werth and Durbin. Or scour the waiver wires when a team tries to sneak someone off their 40 man which is how we got Dobbs.

    Mind you that Werth and Dobbs were gems because of Gillick's experience with Seattle when it comes to Dobbs, and he drafted Werth in Baltimore. So the thing is I think Pat had a really good outlook on these two guys. And I don't know if that's what Gillick's gonna be doing from his home in Seattle.

    So...why is no one talking Mussina in the offseason? is he retiring? He's from PA..maybe a Jamie Moyer-esque return to home to win?

    hey did anyone else think the Phillies got rooked again by the cover of SI??? I saw it and actually felt bad for them. The controversy took away from what should have been a glorious cover.
    I love to turn you on

    Our rotation is Hamels, Myers, Moyer(hopefully), Blanton, Happ/Kendrick/Corrasco - where does he fit in? Good player and all, but let's get real. I don't wanna be the Yankees and try and sign every big name out there. Remember that's what makes us human beings - not being Yankee fans.

    Yes the cover freakin sucked. Awesome picture of Lidge that they fucked up with the stupid Dear Bud crap. and do you know they only printed that cover in the northeast? the rest of the country had the guy from the Titans on the cover = brutal.

    I'm not trying to be the Yankees...I think he is an upgrade. We're not going after CC or Lowe probably..Mussina could give us 15-20 wins..much more than we'll get out of our 5th

    Don't get me started. This is more proof that EVERYONE hates Philly. Albert Haynesworth gets the national cover, and the mid-atlantic cover gets smudged with how the commish screw up the World Series. Tom Verducci - FUCK YOU.

    Yeah, but Mussina will still cost A LOT. Again, I don't wanna be the Yankees. Upgrading doesn't always mean going out and just filling a position with some veteran who put up nice numbers to make sure you win a championship - i.e. the Yankees.

    Mike Mussina will not accept being the 4th/5th man in a rotation.

    He doesnt have to...he'll be #2..Myers is a 3..hes no #1 or #2...we need a TRUE #2. case closed. I'm fine bringing back Moyer for another go but if I can move to bring in Mussina at a fair price I'm jumping all over it

    totally agree - the article sucked balls too. very little mention of how the Phils kicked ass with only 3 losses during the playoffs. fuck em all though - world fucking champions! (damn that sounds so damn good still)

    Myers is a legit 2 if his head's on straight. Enough Mussina jibber jabber. I'd like to see Corrasco get an opportunity early in the year.

    I'd just like to share with everyone some AWESOME things that happen to me today. First, some asshole didn't pick up their dog's shit which I unknowingly stepped in near my car and didn't know till I smelled shit in my car which was now rubbed into my floor mat. Theeeeennnn I find out the bridge I go over to and from work every day is going to be torn down - South St. bridge. This day is the best!!!! The only thing better is if they were to strip the Phils of the World Title and trade away Hamels, Utley, Howard, Shane, and Lidge.

    Maddon, Piniella win manager of year awards

    NEW YORK -- Joe Maddon has won the American League Manager of the Year after guiding the Tampa Bay Rays from baseball's basement to the World Series. Lou Piniella of the Chicago Cubs is the National League winner.

    Maddon succeeded Piniella as Tampa Bay manager in 2006. He was an easy winner Wednesday in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. He received all but one of the 28 first-place votes -- the other went to Minnesota's Ron Gardenhire.

    Piniella led the NL Central champion Cubs to the league's best record and beat out Charlie Manuel of the World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies to earn his third manager of the year award and first in the NL.

    Nice..

    How many tix and what section ?

    2 tix, and I just put the deposit down. I'm gonna swing by the park on Saturday to figure out which ones I want for the Sunday plan. I know I could do it over the phone, but it's another reason to hang out at the park. I'm torn between directly in center field because it's easy access to Schmitter's and Ashburn Alley as well as seeing the game down the pipe like watching it on TV and a chance of getting a home run. Then there's getting like 300 or 400 level right behind home plate because you see everything real well.
