    And that's funny, I brought up that Hagen article as well. They're really digging deep aren't they?

    Yeah I know you did. He's a reporting genius.

    Looks like it'd be good to trade for Beltran just to keep him away from Giants & Braves. This team would be lining up the parade route.

    I know, I know. But this might be too good to not do now. Yeah, I'm thinking Costa Rica should be a slam dunk here as well.

    My friends went to Peru and raved. But I think if you're looking for resort-style stuff than Costa Rica is probalby better. Peru is a little more adventurous probably. I haven't been to either, so WTF do I know?

    Yeah, did you see Harper's throw from the fence to home on that hit by Valle? He might be a douche, but man does he have the tools.

    yeah man, he has a hand cannon. gonna be fun to root against him for the next decade or so. I feel like the phils are missing that enemy type right now.

    johnny, game was saturday at 6. and I'm with you, I don't know shit about south america. I couldn't even pick out costa rica on a map

    Ha! Funny stuff. Yeah, a good buddy of mine went to Costa Rica a couple years ago, and said that's definitely the place you wanna go to if you love the tropics and want something cheap. They rented a place off an expat for cheap. I'm looking at places to rent right on the beach for about $75-100 a night. I'm getting more excited about this by the second.

    But yeah, anywhere I would want to stay wouldn't be near San Jose - where PJ is playing - so I'm looking at a 2 hour car ride to this show most likely. Which is fine by me.

    I can find Central America on a map, and I know CR is in there somewhere. :lol:

    When my friends went to Peru I looked at it on the map and realized it's kind of a big country.

    What I've heard of South American bootlegs was really good - crowds are crazy (like Philly).

    Just catching up on EV setlists. YL with McCready, Hurt, that guy Hansard has played Astral Weeks at every show except Philly. WTF

    Doc is starting tomorrow. Pretty cool, even if for selfish reasons we would like him to not pitch at all.

    Stupid rule besides the point, it would be better to have home field in the World Series.

    I'd love to. Kid should be arriving right around time of those shows. So there's a better chance of it snowing here this week than me making those shows.

    I'd love to see phils call up aumont or defratus. Let those kids have a shot before they trade for some washed up turd.

    Johnny, I think madson is supposed to start rehab this week.

    We will probably have a little fall trip, but Costa Rica ain't gonna happen. When we went to Jazzfest, New Orleans was a blast, and the festival was a blast, and Pearl Jam was in fine form. But the actual process of seeing Pearl Jam there was really not much fun at all.

    I just saw Madson could be activated by Friday. I agree with calling someone up. Trading for relievers always backfires (Ugueth Urbina anyone?).

    everybody hits :thumbup: THIS is how you want to go into the break.

    4 games up in the loss column. 57 wins. now 27-24 against .500 or better teams (since there was concern about this a few weeks ago).

    hopefully rube can make a move or two at the deadline.

    looking at the rest of the league, i like our chances gentlemen.



    GO. PHILS.

    Wake me in October...

    Back from busy weekend. House is offline since little Johnny broke the internet. (see what you have to look forward to Kris? :lol: )

    We went yesterday and that was a great time, although hot as hell. Ibanez bought himself another month as the starting LF with all his ribeyes and a nice catch yesterday. :roll: Hamels is a beast. There was no good reason for him to pitch the 8th inning yesterday - but it was fun to watch and give him a nice sendoff.

    The Howard dropped popup on Saturday was atrocious. I'm yelling "$25 MILLION" afterwards. Uh oh - hope I don't get it started again.

    Phillies go into All Star Break with a 7.5 game lead for a playoff spot over the 2nd Wild Card team.

    howard had a great weekend in the field. dropped two balls that 10 years olds make routine plays on. his defense is so much better though :lol:. someone here even used the word 'flawless' to describe his defense this season :roll:
    (His defense has been ALMOST flawless was the EXACT sentence) The fixer bending what was said :o Couldn't be and yes this series he was bad really bad in the field.
    Go Birds!!!!
