2009 Philadelphia Phillies - Season's Over, Time to Move On

[BigEd76]

Ed...what's the countdown to training camp?

16 days

[Munson]

Thank god.

[ice grillin you]

i'm sure you'll keep trying

haha

catcher's gonna be tough igs.  Unless you count Russell Martin, there aren't any blacks there....

yeah i know i thought about that...my hope is that they can fill the other seven positions and then just get any old black guy to catch cause of how cool of an idea it would be

[BigEd76]

If they traded Chase for O-Dawg or B-Dawg, they could do it now (with the substituted catcher)

Back to Pedro for a sec, check this out if you know Spanish

chuggie, translate plz

[DH]

1 yr deal/4mil

[Don Ho]

Viva la Filis de Filadelfia

Now if I could only say it in Hawaiian.

BRAN TORINO


ugh


well they won.  yay

[Munson]

So does this mean no trade? Meh.

[SunMo]

no, it means they can give up happ in a trade for halladay

[Munson]

Meh.

[BigEd76]

now the site says it's a done deal and he's flying up for a physical and possible announcement tomorrow

and supposedly the $4M is pro-rated, not for 2 months

[Don Ho]

[Don Ho]

Pedro.  Whatever.  If they let Halladay slip by I'll shtein.  Hamals, Halladay, one of the young prospects be it Happ or Drebeck or whoever is left makes me happy inside.

What's the word on Lopez?

[Rome]

Victorino won with 15.6 million votes.

I cast exactly 10 of them or about the same as FF voted for Bush in 2004.

[BigEd76]

Pedro says his agent is working out the details but nothing's done yet. 

Get here soon.  Moyer stinks again...
