    Word - just picked up the poster from the 28th. Looks like the 29th sold out fast, but eh, I like the 28th one better since it has the skyline integrated.

    Eh, sorta. I like to get the ones for the shows I go to - same goes for boots. And never pick them up at shows because that's too much of a pain in the ass.

    Only problem is they're fucking expensive to get framed. But they make great pieces of art, in my opinion, but the shame of it is most of them are sitting in tubes...damnit. This one will not though.

    The Fillmore is friggen sweet. Definitely my favorite venue in the city. Petty was an awesome time last night. Great show. All tickets were will call to avoid scalpers, I went right there after I got out of a meeting at 4 then went to Frankford Hall but when we got back there around 7:45, there was a line at least 100 yards long. Brutal, but he didn't go on until everyone for the most part got in.

    Check out hobby lobby for getting the posters framed. I just started getting mine framed and you can get them done for $70-80 if you can use a standard size frame. I paid around $115 for a poster that needed a custom frame. Really cheap compared to the prices at a frame shop.

    Yeah, I've only used the local frame shop for one - way too costly. I've gone to AC Moore and paid around those prices for custom frames, bordering, etc.

    But no matter what, when you've got around 9, 10 posters sitting in tubes that's still a huge chunk of coin.

    Plus, I don't even know where I'm going to put all of these goddamn things. Maybe in my MAN CAVE BROS.

    Yeah, it's definitely not cheap whichever way you do it. I just started doing 1 poster every month. Have a house with a basement now so plenty of wall space to finally put these things up.

    What sites do you read nowadays?

    baseball prospectus, fangraphs (eric longerhans is going to be great for their prospect coverage -- they had a void there when kiley mcdaniel got hired by the braves), keith law on insider. BA has gone in the toilet too since Jim Callis left, so I'm off that site too. Callis is at mlb.com -- I only go their for their prospect stuff, which is solid with him and Mayo.

    I don't read anything local other than an occasional david murphy article. He's really the only local guy worth reading. this include crashburn alley, phuture phillies, etc

    I also read Buster Olney's blog every day. Not really for his opinions, but because he does such a fantastic job of tying in all of the daily news from every team.

    Lot of buzz with the phils being tied to Mickey Moniak. Blake Rutherford sounds like their target with their second pick (which would be incredible) but there are rumors that the mets may take him with one of their picks just to block the phils. tomorrow night should be interesting...

    Throwing beers at Ryan Howard? You guys don't earn your reputation?

    some people will still claim that philly fans get a bad rap. bunch of cavemen

    for the record it was not me who threw the bottle at howard. I wouldn't throw anything at him but I would tell him how much he sucks

    Hopefully just a biceps strain for Velazquez

    I'll be a little sad if they take Mickey Moniak only because we'd never get to hear Harry announce his name. That's an HK name if there ever was one (actually it'd be better with an "ie" at the end, but I digress)

    I hope they take corey ray. Sounds like it's going to come down five guys and they will take whoever they can sign for the cheapest so they can use that pool money to blow it out on someone who is labeled as a tough sign.

    Not cool at all indeed.

    Yeah I can't carry that shit around for 3 hours, and I sure as well am not standing in those ungodly lines. Only way I get one is if there's a chance they have them after a show, otherwise it's online.

    I vote for the next PJ Philly shows that the posters are a take on Wawa and Arctic Splash Iced Tea.

    I got night 1 in about 5 minutes (outside) and night 2 (inside) right before they pulled the last one off the wall.

    Did they change the layout around here? Where the hell did the sidebar go? Or is it just me?

    That happened to me a while back. It was some stupid setting I think I accidentally clicked on on the board. I can't remember what I did to fix it though.

    Found it - it's a dumb little sidebar that expands or contracts the menu, and it's white so it blends in with the background. So that's dumb.

    Longenhagen--

    1.Mickey Moniak, OF
    La Costa Canyon HS (Carlsbad, California)
    Big Board rank: 5

    The Phillies selected California prep outfielder Mickey Moniak. He's the best pure hitter in the draft, eliciting some future 70 scouting grades with his bat. His swing is fluid and compact, and Moniak shows some elite hitting traits in the way he adjusts to pitches mid-flight. While not a track star, Moniak runs well enough to stay in center field and has a good feel for the position.

    Moniak doesn't have a frame that projects for much power, but the combination of elite hitting potential and the ability to play a premium defensive position makes him a potential All-Star. While any player selected with the first pick overall could sign for an underslot deal, Moniak probably will sign for a bigger discount than other alternatives, giving the Phillies a lot of financial flexibility at their next pick (42nd overall).

    Winkleman-

    Round 2: Pick #42 – Kevin Gowdy, Santa Barbara Sr HS, CF

    Thanks to taking Moniak #1 overall the Phillies had the ability to shift money down their draft, making the #42 pick very important for their overall draft haul. It had been hard to nail down who the guy was that would fall to the Phillies, and in the end it was the guy they had been linked to the whole time. Kevin Gowdy, a projectable RHP, was part of a UCLA recruiting class that included Mickey Moniak and Blake Rutherford.

    Gowdy has been described by many of the people I have talked to and read as the most polished high school pitcher in the draft. He has an easy repeatable delivery and a good feel for the strikezone. He does lack the high octane stuff of some of his peers, but he is already 90-93, has touched up to 95, and there is room for him to fill out and add a bit more velocity. His slider is already a weapon and he shows feel for a future above average to plus changeup. Overall he has a mid rotation, to slightly above, ceiling and he could move quickly for a high school pitcher. If it were not for the college commitment Gowdy likely would have gone in the mid to late first round.

    In terms of where he slots in the system, he is probably in the same range as Adonis Medina, though his polish likely has him ahead for now. He should open on the GCL roster, and it won’t be a disappointment if he spends all year there.

    Overall, Gowdy is not the sexiest pick the Phillies could have made at #42, and he is a bit safe. Safe is not necessarily a bad thing when talking about high school pitchers where the failure rate is high. Gowdy has enough upside to justify the pick. The combination of Moniak and Gowdy gives the Phillies a nice mix of upside and safety heading into Day 2. Gowdy will certainly be overslot for his pick value, but he won’t take up all of the savings from taking Moniak #1.
