    yes. they are all over the place now. even saw two of them last night on TV at the Giants game.

    thanks to Angel Pagan last night for letting about 5 different balls drop in front of him in the 1st inning. Watched the 1st 6 innings last night. Halladay looked to be in a pissy mood. he really only had one pitch going most of the night but battled through.

    really starting to like Galvis. damn good defensively and at least hits doubles which this team needs.

    I think halladay was getting squeezed last night. He is fucking awesome.

    Really don't like watching this team though. Pretty boring when no one can hit the ball. Juan Pierre is especially brutal

    Also, it was great to see manuel use papelbon in an 8-2 game the other day considering their next off day is 4/26. god he is dumb

    yeah, I agree. pensacola is in the middle of nowhere too. might be harder to get there than east troy, wisconsin was.

    eagles schedule comes out tonight. if they play in NO (they play down there this year), that's only a 3.5 hour drive from pensacola. could be a kick ass weekend

    Definitely going to be more dates, the beach sounds pretty sweet to me though.

    after Blanton last night the Phils starting pitchers have now given up a run in the 1st inning of 5 straight games. that's not a good recipe when your offense isn't very good.

    has any player gotten a bigger pass for sucking than Polanco? offensively he is totally washed up. weak singles hitter. and our manager continues to bat him 2nd. i like galvis better at this point.

    I believe the Polanco bashing is beginning. We should bat our pitchers 2nd.

    arent you the one that said last week that their lineup looks so much better with howard and utley in it...then showed the lineup with polanco hitting 2nd?

    I apologize if it wasn't you, but I'm pretty sure it was.

    This team sucks. I really hate amaro for ruining what gillick/wade built. He's a combo of minaya and godzilla, destroying everything in his path

    We went from 4 to 6 hits. It's an improvement. Booberry needs to drop behind Chooch in the lineup.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    more amaro magic!!

    There have been no recent talks between the Phillies and Cole Hamels; he will eventually reach a point where he's so close to free agency that he may inevitably decide to test the market, rather than simply accept a Philadelphia offer. The market baseline for Hamels was set by the Matt Cain contract, at five years and $112.5 million, but agents who don't represent the left-hander are certain he could get a six-year deal in free agency from the Cubs, Dodgers or some other team.

    Since minaya waited so long I think the bidding starts around 6 years, $120 mill

    he is adept at misreading FA markets

    I think if Hamels tests the market his getting a 7yr 150-155 deal.
