Phillies season 6

[PhillyPhreak54]

Just go on and give the Braves the NL East title. Those guys are unbelievable. As much as I hate them and hate ATL sportsfans, John Schuerholtz, Bobby Cox and Leo Mazzone are frickin magicians.

Our shot at the playoffs is that WC spot. Houston is coming on strong. I hope that they're blowing their wads now too early and the Phils have another good stretch in them.

The Marlins won the Series in 1997 & 2003 as the WC team. I think the 2002 Giants were the WC team too.

I hope Cory Lidle gets his game back today...

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Corey will give up 6 runs in 6 innings, and get the win.

[NGM]

Lidle is sick away from home.  I'm calling a one run performance from him.

[Geowhizzer]

Corey will give up 6 runs in 6 innings, and get the win.

Pretty close:  5 IP, 5 ER, win.

[NGM]

I will make no more predictions, for I am New Green Monster, lord of the idiots.  Good game by Howard though.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Well, I missed the game tonight but I see that they tried their hardest to give it up after going ahead 7-1. But as long as they win, I don't care.

About 14 hours until the trade deadline...What Will Wade Do?!?

I'm not holding my breath for any blockbusters, thats for sure.

My bold prediction:  Ryan Howard for....


Buddy Groom.

It doesn't matter if the Phils are 1 game out of a wild card spot...they will do what they did a few weeks back.  Win like 10 of 12 and lose 12 of 14.  That's how their every season has gone since 1993. 

However, Utley is a stud.  Thank God for Chase Utley.

The only significant move the Phillies will make today is to announce a contract extension for one Edward Wade.

Soon after, I'm going to drink an entire bottle of Jim Beam and them bust the empty bottle over my head and go night-night.

[PhillyGirl]

ok Howard. 

[Rome]

ok Howard. 

My pleasure, Rhea.

From today's Inquirer:

Asked about his contract Friday at Coors Field, Wade said that it runs through 2007.

Wade received a two-year extension in July 2003, which carried him through the 2005 season. That contract included a series of option years that automatically roll over on a certain date. It's unclear when that date is, but in December 1999 he received a two-year extension that ran through 2002. That contract contained an option for 2003 that automatically kicked in Nov. 1.

Wade said there has been no further talk about an extension. But with a contract through 2007, that doesn't seem pressing. Still, there is an incredible amount of pressure on Wade to get his team to the postseason for the first time since 1993, and there has been plenty of speculation about what would happen to him if that did not come to pass.

So far it's just speculation.

[Rome]

Wow.  You told me, I guess.

[JTrotter Fan]

I'd rather put my nuts in a vise grip with Lorena Bobbitt turning the screws than have Ed Wade around here for one more year.  And i love my nuts. 

[PhillyGirl]

Of course, after the Phils get hosed on a blatant trap that was called an out (which led to a double play)....the Rockies start hitting the ball all over the place and go ahead.
