    Didn't get through this whole article, too many words on the Phillies for me, seems like it makes sense though. I did get to this paragraph which is fantastic.

    Saying that the Phillies need to get younger is like saying Congress needs to get busier. The House is not going to start churning out bi-partisan legislation simply because we replace John Boehner with Gunnery Sergeant Hartman and Nancy Pelosi with the pill-popping mother from Requiem for a Dream. All we would get is a narcisistic man yelling at the top of his lungs and a hopped up woman living in a paranoid dream world. In other words, we would get cable news.

    no surprise here.


    Phillies decline options on two veterans:    PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies have declined the 2012 options for pitchers Roy Oswalt and Brad Lidge.

    Oswalt gets a $2 million buyout instead of $16 million next season. Lidge receives a $1.5 million buyout instead of $12.5 million next year.

    Oswalt was 9-10 with a 3.69 ERA in 23 starts for the Phillies this past season. The three-time All-Star right-hander was acquired in a trade with Houston on July 29, 2010. He was 16-11 with a 2.96 ERA in 35 starts for Philadelphia.

    Lidge went 0-2 with one save and a 1.40 ERA in 25 appearances for the Phillies in 2011. In four seasons with Philadelphia, Lidge was 3-11 with 100 saves and a 3.73 ERA. He was 1-1 with 12 saves in 12 opportunities and a 1.77 ERA in the postseason.

    Lidge was 48 for 48 in save chances, including postseason, in helping the Phillies win the 2008 World Series.

    General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said the team will consider re-signing both players. The five-time defending NL East champions lost to St. Louis in five games in the division round

    Like to give a congrats to the towson tigers for improving their record to 5-1. Now ranked 13th in FCS and should be headed to the playoffs for the first time in a long time. Crazy comeback on Saturday (down 11 with 3 minutes left). Good shit...hopefully their coach will hang around for a while before moving on to the FBS.

    6-1. Rolling

    Enjoying some Faithfull Ale as i type. It's alot lighter and smoother then i would have thought. It's deff one of the less harsh dogfish beers i've had,and i've had just about all of them. I'm not really tasting any strong notes,it might be the most normal Dogfish beer made besides lawnmower. I'd give it a B+ and i'm looking forward to enjoying many more :D

    I'm sure its good, heard pretty good things, good not great, which sounds around what Jammin says. That said, people around here would say a log of poop is delicious if it said pearl jam on it.

    If it wasn't a PJ20 beer it would just be a normal beer. Don't get me wrong it's good, it's just plain,which is also fine.

    Just looked it up. Oswalt is a type A free agent and Lidge is a Type B. Madson and Rollins would also be Type A's I would guess.

    That is good stuff. They need to restock the system and it gives them flexibility pick-wise to sign free agents (if they have any money)

    Oswalt can't be relied on at this stage of his career. I hope the phils show him the door and let someone else have him. That is one trade I wish they could take back.

    As for Lidge...whatever. One year deal on the cheap would be alright I guess. He's injury prone and erratic at this point in his career, so I don't think there is much upside. I'd prefer other options if given the choice.

    Also, I don't think theo wants anything to do with an oswalt-type. unfortunately the days of the cubs overpaying for turds is over.
