Does it really matter one way or the other? He's going to be here the entire season and gone in the offseason. That's all we DO know.
not necessarily. they have shown they will eat salary. I like ibanez, he seems like a good dude. that said, he's not good enough to start in a corner spot on a team with championship aspirations. I wouldn't mind seeing him continue to tank so it forces them to go out and get someone that doesn't suck.
I'd love josh willingham. and I've been talking myself into carlos beltran...I think he would be a perfect fit.
Even if he tanks, they won't bail on him. I don't see it happening. Plus, they most likely will get someone, but that won't be till the trade deadline because a) there's no reason to rush because they're winning at a .700 clip b) Utley will be back around the end of May so they'll give him time to see where he stands c) letting Dom Brown rehab, though that's not an offensive rescue.
They've got time to figure it out. Better to see what you've got than overreact.
Halladay now 10-0 against the Nats and Lannan 0-10 against the Phils. Ha.
yeah, I'm not saying the trade needs to happen tomorrow. just that if they want to win it all they are going to need an upgrade in LF/RF.
I def don't think dom brown is the answer. beltran and willingham are both FAs after this year. they'd be perfect

Definitely need at least one corner outfielder that they rely on consistently for production, yes. I'll take Willingham out of those two, but I would rather do that Pence trade that was thrown around here and other places. Maybe Quentin from Chicago if they continue to suck as well.
didn't he hit his HR off of coffee? that guy doesn't throw that hard. that dude needs a manzier
Yea he does.
He stroked a single up the middle off a 98 mph fastball (not Coffee). It was sweet.
coffee doesn't throw hard.
let's relax here. ibanez goes 8-12 against the DC staff and everyone is content. don't be fooled...he is done
Sorry, I meant "yea he does" need a manzier. Of course.
Thing is, I knew he was staying in there no matter what (7th year of Charlie, we know how it goes), so I'm just happy to see him doing something. Lke JP says, he's gone next year anyhow.

call me crazy, but beltran is my first choice. switch hitter, solid defense, could play LF or RF (even CF in a pinch), works counts, veteran playoff experience.
don't think the mets would be thrilled about moving him to phils, so that's probably a long shot.

How long before he's hurt again though ?
I wouldn't want to depend on him through the season and playoffs

that's the one question mark. they could rest him here and there...wouldn't need to play him every day so he could rest.
I'd love to see him come here. then I could stare at the growth on his head for hours each night. what is that thing?

I just don't trust that dudes knees. At. All. I don't want a guy who would be an injury liability. We already have one in Chase that we'd like to get over.(wathing him run on Sportsnite now, and through cones. It's giving me a boner. They say he's headed to Clearwater tomorrow.)
And the dude throwing hard was Henry Rodriguez. Pitch F/X has him at an average of 97 and topping out at 100.1

I hear you about beltrans knees. Quentin is a similar story.
May should be interesting. Looking forward to seeing some good teams on the schedule
Lowe vs. Lee tomorrow. And some hockey game.

Speaking of thought of being washed up, did Berkman all of a sudden decide not to be a fat piece of crap anymore?
I can't believe how well berkman is doing. then again, jeff francoeur has like 7 HRs. april stats don't mean anything. unless we're talking about howard's RBI total :?
Damn. It's May and the Phils haven't even broke the 100 mark of runs allowed. Wow. Please, baby Jesus, don't let some stupid injuries F up this rotation.

this rotation really is insane.
also, I still don't think mayberry is good. but I have to give amaro credit for flipping greg golson for him
Red Rocks would be a good time, but no. You going out there?
thinking about it. buddy of mine from when I lived in florida moved out there. he wants me to head out for the MMJ show in august. I've been digging some of the MMJ stuff (of the 5 albums I have, It Still Moves is by far my favorite). I know there's a lot of talk about how great they are live, so I'm thinking about heading out there. Trip wouldn't cost much since I have a place to stay in denver. Never been to Denver and I've heard it's a good time (buddy says red rocks is cool as hell)
I'm leaning towards going. Really wish PJ would announce this 20th anniversary show so I can figure out if that's an option for me. Might be able to squeeze two trips in before the little one arrives

Dude, do it. I have already uttered that phrase that MMJ has passed PJ in the live show category. It pains me to say it sometimes.
It Still Moves is the bee's knees. Though I'm a fanboy of their shit just like PJ - I like all of it.

Some of their stuff seems kinda emo to me...which I don't care for. I'm just getting into them though. A live show is always the real test for a band.
I'm leaning towards going. This time next year I will have no shot in hell of taking these types of trips
This reminds me.....gonna step out for a left-handed cigarette. :thumbup:
nice. my buddy had a party on saturday and I was hitting them. first time in a while for me.
wife got me a few books for my bday...including the All Encompassing Trip book. Wish I would have thought of that idea. Brilliant
got that for christmas. i've read a solid 10 pages thus far. love books, i just never have time to read them...
I read a lot more in the summer than I do the rest of the year. I have 5 or 6 books from xmas/bday that I will plow through at the in-laws shorehouse this summer.

they need prospects. they're not winning anything any time soon. and their minor league system is terrible.
once they fall completely out of the race (which shouldn't be long), they will probably go into firesale mode
Ok..I like Pence a lot
he seems like a goofy bastard the way he plays and the faces he makes

Coffey was at 91 and topping out at 92.
PP -here's the article I was on Pence. It's pretty good - http://www.brotherlyglove.com/?p=1683
If they're really in rebuilding mode, he's the only real legitimate chip that could bring them back some talent.
