Phillies Offseason Thread

[Geowhizzer]

The biggest impediment to making moves is the owners' willingness to accept luxury tax for exceeding the "cap."  I don't have much faith that they will do so, but we'll see.

Cheap FO!

one thing that at least for a second gets me out of my post phillies collapse funk is when i think about smugmaro putting together the greatest roation in history and then him watching one team make the world series by having their bullpen pitch more innings in the nlcs than their starters and another team making it without having a single starter go more than six innings the entire post season

[Sgt PSN]

I know Rube is smug but I really don't get the hate from some people.  He's not like the Eagles regime who signs/drafts scrubs and feeds us a load of crap about how they "fit the system" and all the other bs. He's also pretty candid when talking to the media, which I appreciate.  Yeah, they've come up embarrassingly short the last 2 years but there's not much you can do other than assemble the best possible team and hope they perform come Oct.

SNY Mets reporter says the Phils are in on Reyes

[PhillyPhreak54]

Hopefully to drive the price up and not to sign him.

replacing jimmy with that faggy tranny will be the ultimate test of phillies fandom

on the surface its a divoraceable move. but on a baseball note obviously reyes is a superior player. but from a logistical standpoint reyes is a twat who only cares about his stats, dances around when he hits a solo homer in may, and is most likely getting banged by dudes under the freeway.

meanwhile jimmy is a legend and shuttering him out of town for reyes is an insult. i dont know. i dont want to think about it.

im pretty sure i wouldnt watch a single game next year if that happened

imagine your favorite baseball player of all time getting swapped out for you most hated player of all time....its def more than i could handle

It's how the dog-loving McNabb fans felt

It's how the dog-loving McNabb fans felt

except in that case they were getting rid of the douchebag not acquiring him

so really it was how peta felt

[MDS]

where is sunny cakes to come in here and jerk off to reyes

donde es

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

It gives me a brain cramp to try and reconcile this. My thinking is that they are both driving up the market on Reyes and the hometown discount from Jimmy at the same time, and I will just cover my ears and pretend it's not happening until they actually sign someone.

If all it would take for IGY to stop watching the Phillies was them signing Reyes, well...

GET REYES!
