    Hats off to Thome. If you take away the steroid users (Bonds, Sosa, and A-Rod), then Thome is 5th all-time in MLB history behind just Aaron, Ruth, Mayes, and Griffey Jr.

    I had a plan to kidnap one of his sons, but the wife wouldn't let it happen. damn her

    Nice. That's the same shopping center where Iget my hair cut. And why you ask? Of course that's where Roy gets his hair cut that's why.

    This was my first thought Though it would be really tough since we would literally be the last team to get a shot at claiming/trading for him.

    Cool. I ran in to Halladay at the Wawa in Media last year. He grabbed a coffee. It was funny to see his sweet ass BMW parked next to my beat-up Chevy Cavalier.

    Congrats Jim Thome!!! I will always remember him for being the start of this run by coming here as a free agent. Great guy and great player.

    From Inqi Phillies blog:
    Phillies sign a top draft pick
    The Phillies announced Tuesday they've signed shortstop Roman Quinn, their second-round selection in the June draft - No. 66 overall.

    The Phillies had until midnight Monday to sign their draft picks. Earlier, they announced the signing of outfielder Larry Greene, who was the No. 39 pick overall.

    Quinn, 18, is a switch hitter who batted .385 with a .610 on-base percentage at Port St. Joe's High School in Florida. Overall, the Phillies signed 30 of their 50 draft picks, including nine of their first 10 selections.

    No structural damage. But for precautionary reasons they will skip his next start. Good move.

    6-man rotation for a couple weeks is what I foresee.

    I've gotten bombed at that sports bar a few times. Not a bad spot to watch games

    I might have to start going to get my hair cut there too. And I see more meals at bonefish...especially on phils off days

    figures I have tix for that game. Hopefully they move oswalt up a day (which would really be his regular day because of the back to back off days) so I'm not stuck with kendrick

    EDIT: oswalt friday, kendrick saturday. very nice

    I'm reading about the signings now. Sounds like they went overslot for a few guys. That's awesome and not normally their style.

    They signed a 6'6 LHP that they took in the 27th round. Apparently he throws fire

    The 5th rounder, Mitch Walding...got 800K. Apparently he was a tough sign too. I'll check out BA and post some stuff

    yikes

    the Astros have a chance to hit big on outfielder Domingo Santana, the fourth piece they got as the player to be named later in the Hunter Pence deal. Santana was only hitting .269/.345/.434 at Class A Lakewood. But he was also seventh in the South Atlantic League in doubles (29). He just turned 19 this month. And scouts gush about his raw skills.

    "This guy has a chance to be Vlad Guerrero," one scout said. "He's still crude right now. But he has the highest ceiling imaginable. You put him in there with the other guys they got, and this has a chance to be like the [Bartolo] Colon deal was for Cleveland." To refresh your memory, the Indians got back Grady Sizemore, Cliff Lee and Brandon Phillips -- whoever they are -- when they shipped Colon to Montreal in 2002.

    just realized phils feed is on MLB Network. They just showed the statue. Looks pretty awesome.

    I still don't understand why the phillies didn't make something like that happen. Kinda weak a fan had to initiate and pay for the project. I'm glad something was done
