yep. boost that trade value joey.


and today's amaro sucks news...

There has been no recent progress in the Phillies' contract talks with Cole Hamels. The market has defined the price tag for Hamels, with the Matt Cain extension of five years and $112.5 million being the bottom floor, and with each passing day -- as Hamels draws closer to free agency -- the price tag for the Phillies goes up. Sources affiliated with the players' union are confident that Hamels will get contract offers of six years this fall if he were to file for free agency.

Not gonna make it, but I think many are going just to spite the Nationals.

I hope they get embarrassed on national TV Sunday night by a stadium full of Phillies fans.

Wasn't impressed with the park in DC. Pretty bland. Atmosphere is gay...fabricated enthusiasm. there were signs everywhere encouraging fans to 'show their natitude'. horrible. after game was over they put 'our park' on the video screen. also horrible. talk about an inferiority complex, that entire metro area needs to see a shrink. and, no lapdances in DC. they are banned there. I like DC but that's pretty ridiculous

area where the park is doesn't have much going on. looks like they are in the process of doing some construction/rennovations though. saw some signs of what the finished product is going to look like...lots of potential once it's completed. gonna be a huge entertainment complex.

there were phils fans everywhere as usual. I'd say it was probably 65:35 nats fans. more than i expected for a friday night

thought the phils had a shot once dipshit got ejected last night. nice of him to finally move chooch up in the lineup today. only took him a month to figure that out :roll:

This team completely sucks. Tough to watch

Utley rejoined the team yesterday. Speculation is that he's 3 weeks away from returning, assuming things go well on his rehab assignment.

0-4 in extra inning games because our manager and bench coach are morons. bad enough we get stuck with shitty pitchers in every extra inning game but moron Mackanin and Charlie do a double switch and take out our hottest hitter in Chooch. dumbasses.

didn't see saturday's game so can't comment. hopefully Hamels can bail us out sunday night. at least have something to switch to during flyers game.

oy vey! Luckily i decided to take a nap while this game was on Hopefully they can salvage the final game :roll:

loved Hamels hitting Harper in 1st and not overreacting when zimmerman hit him back. perfect move by hamels and a great effort again.

harper is going to be hated but guy plays the game the right way. have to give him that. he is going to be a monster.

So, best part of the Broad St. Run yesterday was the guy with a sign that said "Worst Parade Ever".

Only having 3 Umps Friday night killed us. With Vic on 2nd, Chooch doubled over the bag but with no 3rd base ump the home plate ump called it foul. No run scored. Then Vic steals 3rd, gets tagged on the trailing knee after his foot is clearly on the bag and is called out because the ump is between the mound and 2nd base. Chooch singles to right after that which would've scored the run again. There were also the 2 bad calls on Harper's check swings. Doesn't MLB have an ump on standby? I'm sure the guy was sick earlier that day and it didn't just come up 5 minutes before gametime.

what was dumb about it? i even like him admitting it afterwards. he didn't try to hurt him and basically hit him with a softer pitch to the lower back. i see nothing dumb about it. welcome to the league kid and remember who is 5 time division champs to the punk ass Nats. with all the take back the park BS and the hype of the Nats it was perfect in my estimation.
