Phillies 2013 "Road to Redemption" Thread

Granted Worley did nothing for the Twins, but Revere is just not going to be a good player. His positives: His speed - it can get him some extra infield hits & he can cover a lot of ground in CF. His negatives: He has zero power, not just HR power, but extra base hits even look rare. His defense is below average, he misplays balls hot to him, doesn't always catch them & makes Johnny Damon look like he has a strong arm.

He just missed out on the steroid era. He coulda been a contender.

Papelbon's trade value is in freefall.

I stopped following. Fourth blown save in seven days?

JFC. Let 'em all go. Ruiz too.

Dom Bomb #20 last night.

If the Phillies have another 3-7 road trip, will Cholly have his job when they get back home?

the entire NL East is god-awful this year. Every team is near or under .500 and the "best team", the Bravos, have been playing .500 ball since their 12-1 start. Says a lot that the Marlins are playing like their the best team in the division right now.

[bluehenbillk]

True, the NL East has played second fiddle to the Central so far this year.

Patience. IF everyone stays healthly, when Harper comes back, the Nats will be better than god-awful.

Anthony Rendon could be the best rookie nobody has heard of.

who? The Nats were so over-rated this year I have a sure $100 coming my way in August.

You don't think they'll go 60-20 in the second half?

Only if they get to play the Diamondbacks the rest of the way.

I've got a bag of Snyder's pretzels coming my way. That's better than $100.

[Ivytalk]

Well, they tried their best, but Lee and the Phillies couldn't quite blow all of a 5-0 lead last night!

Shit, was that me? What did we bet on?

Yup, I had Phillies in 3rd behind Nats and Braves.

Lee has issues holding 4-0 leads I believe. Once it got to 5-0 the win was in the bag.

And Papschmear held onto a 7-3 lead yesterday!

Did the Phillies win yesterday? Who did they play next? How many games out are they now? How's Ryan Howard doing?

Yes.
Nats.
About 7.5.
15-day DL.

15 days on the DL will probably RAISE his batting average.

May be on 15 day DL but ESPN is reporting he'll be out 6-8 weeks.

We should be so lucky. He's done, and we have to pay that stiff big bucks for the next 3 years.

Well the Mets will be paying Bobby Bonilla a salary until 1935 and he hasn't worked for them since 1996.
