    Why would anyone still think Hamels is a wuss? His Game 3 performance this year was as gritty as they come.

    He had one bad season, which can be attributed to the Verducci effect, and nobody will forgive him for it.

    I think they'll get around to his extension later in the offseason, since they have to go through arbitration otherwise.

    i think jp was more referring to the whole carrying his wife's dog in his man purse thing than anything on the field. :lol:

    cole is the man

    Why people still overreact to how I see the guy is beyond me. Of course Cole is the man. But he's still a puss.(the poofter dog carrying, the high-pitched voice, the lanky build, getting married an obscenely young age in relative to what he could be slaying instead of getting hitched to a woman older than him that is wayyy overrated - I'm just sayin'...just because the dude is a good pitcher doesn't make him not a puss.)

    Ok, a puss, but not a wuss, at least not on the mound, which is all I care about.

    Just be careful around him in those Clearwater bars. :lol:

    One of my friends on facebook just said J-Roll resigned with the Phills for 4 years, $90 mil. I can't find anyhting about this, so he's either has a good source or maybe wishful thinking :?

    That can't be true. If it is, that will be the worst of Amaro's contracts.

    This offseason has been brutal

    They should offer madson a one year deal. Their offense is going to blow again, so they might as well load up on pitching

    Again, why I think Hamels is a puss - saw this on crossingbroad...

    God damnit.

    And in the world of hilarity - Fixer, I genuinely hope the Phils sign Vizquel.....for my sake....actually, no, for your sake.

    He may be dainty but his nickname is King Cole! He is also worth more than CJ Wilson.

    amaro really is omar minaya reincarnated. I am on board with vizquel if it means the end of valdez though

    hamels relationship with the philly fans is perplexing. most tried to run him out of town after the 09 season (a year removed from him carrying the phils to a WS title). the apex of this was hamels being booed off the mound during his first start of the year last year (a complete embarrassment). now everyone loves him and wants him to sign a long term contract to stay here.

    I think you know where I'm going with this...so I digress

    Isn't it strange that Phils fans are bitter about 3 straight non-championship seasons while Yankees fans are still celebrating 2009 2 years later. :?

    Eh, just busting a little balls, as you guys would be doing had you won.

    I am fine with last year for the Yankees after they lost out on Lee and I am also fine going into the season with the rotation they have and not winning next year, if it means not overpaying and giving up a stacked farm for a second tier pitcher.

    amaro's theory is...if it's broke don't fix it.

    brilliant

    I don't post things to try to piss people off (even my posts that prove ryan howard sucks). My posts are attempts at enlightenment. People will come around and realize I'm right as usual

    He would have played LF. Couldn't have been worse than Ibanez. Would have been nice to have a switch hitter with pop off the bench too.

    Then again, you're the one that called lee a power pitcher

    sure.

    oswalt starting game 4 was the right decision...charlie manuel is a good manager...

    you actually don't have many opinions other than you hate closers.

    phils have offered david purcey an invite to spring training as a non-roster player.

    we are now up to 2 decent offseason moves. unfortunately none involve the 40 man roster

    Sure I do.
    -Cliff Lee pitched well in Game 2 but was squeezed after Larussa bitched about the correct strike zone Carpenter was getting.
    -I will still take the Howard contract at this point over the Pujols contract. They are both AIDS, but the Poops is more AIDS.
    -I hate Papelbohn. Think that signing will blow up.
    -Sweeney was underutilized in the 2010 playoffs.
    -I thought the 2011 Phillies would struggle to win the division, like you. Obviously I was wrong.
