    If he turns down a 6yr 140 offer then he can go to hell. I know Amaro fucked this up early on,but if he really wants to be here that offer should do it.

    No, when you're 3 months away from free agency why the hell not? This is solely Ruben's fault. Apparently jumping the gun and giving Howard a shit load of money is okay, but not doing it for your young ace makes absolute sense to this asshole. Fault lies squarely on the shoulders of management. If Hamels ends up in another uniform I will definitely not boo him.

    I don't understand booing guys who have done so much for this franchise. We have TWO championships, and Hamels, Howard & Werth were instrumental in delivering it. These guys all deserve everlasting respect from this fanbase.

    I agree that the blame lies with Amaro. It's almost silly for Hamels not to test the market at this point. GODDAMIT.

    Agree with all of this. But that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone around here.

    If I was hamels I would tell amaro to stuff his offer up his ass. Give me more or I'm gone because you waited too long and I can get more elsewhere.

    Who boos howard? Even I wouldn't do that. And I think most of the 'fans' still think he's good so I don't think he gets anything but cheers

    Shaping up to be a brutal sports week. Someone needs to cropdust this city with the AIDS vaccine.

    And yeah, please trade pence before minaya has a chance to give him cole's money

    Even our resident curmudgeon The Fixer had to enjoy a win like that. It had all his favorite elements: Lee getting bailed out, a lucky Pence bloop on a slider way out of the zone scoring the winning run, and a SHUT DOWN 9th for Cinco Ocho.

    sorry I don't get excited about meaningless wins vs crap teams. Hopefully these insignificant wins don't prevent minaya from dealing some veteran stiffs this week.

    Highlight for me...Papeldouche's neck beard. Now that is something to feel good about

    well they may be 10 out and this season may be lost, but god damn it, that was so much fun to see tonight. and last night. vintage phils. :) --having $ on it, gave it some extra juice for me tonight too. hey oh

    sadly, depending on what happens in the next few days, that may be the last time we it with this particular core. so i made it a point to get mrs. juggler to savor the moment as much as i did tonight. haha



    anyway, i'm all for trading pence, amongst others. seems like most agree here (i'm shocked!). and i think it was jp that said it, but i agree that it might make sense to resign vic considering his bad year and how they'd get him for less because of it. been arguing that point with some dude at work for about a month now actually.

    and i've been confident they will end up signing cole all along despite the roller coaster ride most fans have been on with it this year. if they're throwing 6 years, $140m or so at him, he's gotta take it. we shall see. rough year boys.

    Yay Hamels!!!!! Can we play v. the Brewers bullpen for the rest of the year. This is the best I've ever felt about a Phillies team being 10 games under and in last place. :lol:

    Me: What the fuck Cliff?
    Cliff: Whatever!
    Alright, alright, alright!

    aaaaaaaaand BOOM.

    contract negotiations tend to come to fruition when a deadline looms people. especially for someone who knows how in-demand he will be in once the season ends. it's been funny watching people freak out over a, seemingly, hourly basis these last 4 months. ha.

    congrats to cole. good job ruben (as unpopular with most fans as that is to say right now).
