    sending brown back down is the right move. he'd just be riding the bench up here. he got a taste and will get more come september...and october. hey oh

    agree 100%

    not sure how the Herndon thing is about money - irregardless he sucks and we are in a pennant race. it doesn't make any sense at the end of the week we will be sending Domonic Brown back down and keeping Herndon around. And it is not like Herndon can be a spot starter. I've questionned why we have kept this guy around since May - just don't understand it.

    they have $140+ million locked up for 2011 on something like 8 players. They need cheap major-league ready players (especially for the bullpen). They consider herndon to be a player that fits into that category. I don't necessarily agree, but that's why they kept him all year.

    he can go to the minors next year as long as they keep him up all of 2010.

    herndon is the least of the bullpen's problems. I think this team is gonna have a tough time getting into the playoffs with this bullpen. Been a complete disaster all year.

    At least chipper and heyward got hurt...looks like chipper could be done for season

    i think pj hawks was more talking about keeping figeurora as opposed to herndon. not some other high priced guy...

    I know he doesn't like to think beyond 2010, but herndon has more value for 2010 and beyond. I have no problem keeping herndon over figueroa. I think we're splitting hairs here. The long reliever isn't the main issue on this team. It's everyone else in the bullpen

    It really is astounding reading the majority of comments on anything Phils related - or anything Philly sports related for that matter - on philly.com. I'm convinced the only people who have access to computers on that site are mutants.

    Then again, normal people don't comment on philly.com or call into 610.

    Nah. I don't buy it. The majority is silent. I'd say it's still too high though, like 70/30 - 30 % morons. And the morons are always louder and more representative than the silent majority. If it was 95% cavemen then there'd be a ton more puking by trash in the stands and the such.

    there's idiots EVERYWHERE guys. its not just philly. any newspaper/website anywhere in the world has scumbags posting comments below the article. i have no idea how a supposedly reputable company/newspaper can let nitwits like that sully their articles though. there's no need for a comment section. it's a joke.

    Yeah, going to be awesome. Comedy Central had great ones on last night. The home makeover, the one where frank buys the foreclosure and the road trip. All solid episodes.

    Holy fucking shit Lidge! Get rid rid of him! :x

    Instead of going after Oswalt maybe the Phills should have gone after a closer instead.

    Well apparently Lidge must be on this site and saw this and stepped up his game, yeah that's it :roll: :lol:
    Good game except with Gload pulled his hammy. Now can Atlanta start losing?

    First, God damnit, Special Sauce.

    Two, I don't know how Jimmy ever won an MVP. How you can be in the league 10 years, and call yourself a professional hitter and have that kind of approach at the plate with a guy on third is beyond me.

    Third, solid win, but could've been better.

    Fun game to be at last night, except for dealing with drunk guys with fake ID's who have to ruin it for everyone. There was a huge collective groan when G-Love pulled up.
