Anybody been to the Irish Pol? I feel like it's new and used to be something else due to it's location.
so that's really cousin ed?
always thought he was a tool. i hate how he steals dan baker's time at eagles games too. dan baker is awesome......this does sound like an awesome idea though. never heard of irish pol.
for every person who gets stuck with the kendrick home starts this year you should get $5.00 back off your tickets.
He's getting paid what his stats are comparable to. It's actually not bad for his numbers compared to what other pitchers around his arb year is getting. I figured this is what he would get. I wasn't going to be surprised if he got 3 or over too. I also definitely don't see any way Blanton stays on this roster much longer with that kind of payday to to Kendrick. Plus, it's really not a big deal. We're talking about the #5 starter here.
EDIT: But maybe I spoke too soon...Rube's a good liar though, so who knows...
Amaro Not Comfortable Trading Blanton
By Mike Axisa [January 18 at 4:55pm CST]
It's been widely assumed that the Phillies would trade Joe Blanton after signing Cliff Lee, if for no other reason than to shed the $8.5MM he's owed in each of the next two seasons to create some salary relief. GM Ruben Amaro Jr. told Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports that might not be the case, however.
"I don’t feel comfortable doing it," said Amaro. "He’s going to pitch for the Phillies, probably for the entire season ... We do not need to trade the man."
The number of teams looking for starting pitching is plentiful, but one rival GM told Rosenthal there was "not a chance" that his team would want Blanton unless the Phillies ate a significant portion of his salary.
The 30-year-old right-hander pitched to a 4.82 ERA with 6.9 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 in 175.2 innings last season. It was the first time he failed to throw at least 194 innings in a full season in his career, but you can blame that on an oblique strain that robbed him of all of April.

I used to live on Greenwich St. in South Philly, and there was a gap of 3 or 4 missing houses on the block because there had been a gas explosion, I think in the 60s.

One of these actually happened on 3rd street right off of South like a year ago. It looked like a war zone - burned out cars like you would see in the Iraq or something. I heard it from my house 20 odd blocks away.
The headline says that hitters loved hitting in the 2nd half of doubleheaders in the olden days. Then of course, he offers up absolutely no evidence to support this hypothesis. WTF
Who has actually sat all the way through an actual doubleheader? It can be like a death march. And the first game always go into extra innings.

i don't know about hitting better during a double header, but i would like to see a few of them scheduled to reduce the length of the season a few days to a week. i have no idea logistically how it would be possible. but, i mean, they played them all the time up until recently.
Just read that the new scoreboard costs $10 mil. This team's got some mmmmmmmmoney. I know they already have mine.
Insert quip of "I guess it was this or a right fielder" here...
I'll take the scoreboard.

You jerkoffs upgraded the scoreboard already? Same size, same place? I don't recall the exact number but I think the Yanks video screen was around $10mil so I don't really get where this is going.

But don't worry you're little Yankee head, sir. If it makes you feel better, it's the biggest HD screen in the NL and not the overall Majors.
Plus, that other screen blew. It was big and not HD. And who can be taken serious without HD??? Also, you had to look in like three different places if you wanted the score, count, time, pitch, speed, etc. etc.

That's a pretty good analogy. Will look nice out there, I am sure. It's funny you say that because I always complained about where all those stats were positioned at CBP.

It sucked. The pitch/speed were either in the right field wall or down the 1st or 3rd base line. And then, if you were in a place where you couldn't conveniently see the left field scoreboard, then you wouldn't be able to see the lineup. Or have a sore neck.
Apparently they're doing a complete HD upgrade, so that's good. The tv's around the concourse blew. Couldn't even see what was going on when waiting for a beer.

-The old videoboard was mediocre.
-I couldn't find the pitch speed/count, ERA, averages, lineups...

That could be said about any ownership. The team with the most money would probably be the Mariners. You wouldn't know it based on their team though.

We're talking in the sense of what the ballpark is doing. The revenue generated by baseball operations. Not that Seattle is owned by Nintendo and Toronto by Rogers. The money that CBP put into the franchise is what produces the payroll - not the ancillary operations outside of baseball.
ALSO, my marketing management professor had a huuuuge rip on Ryan Howard tonight. It was awesome. Something along the lines of relative return of investment and the such... and how a professional baseball player who is successful at doing his job 26% of the time, hits under 40 homers ,and strikes out with the bat on his shoulder with the season on the line, gets paid a cool 25 million dollars. I had a shit eating grin on my face ear to ear. You could hear the moans under everyone's breath just by the fact that he brought it up. I think I like this professor.
