Swift_Psycho 1 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Signed Chan Ho Park to a guarenteed 2.5 mill, and Moyer to a 2-year deal worth a minimum of 13 mill, max of 20.WTF is Amaro doing? Does he just have no interest in trying to repeat? Link to post Share on other sites
Swift_Psycho 1 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 So Burrell gets signed for two years and 16 million by the Rays and the Phils are stuck with Ibanez for 31.5 million and three years.JC Romero suspended for 50 games.Awesome. So awesome. Link to post Share on other sites

Swift_Psycho 1 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Confusing offseason Finally did some smart things today. Signed Dobbs to two years for 2.5 million and Hamels to a 3-year deal for guarenteed 20.5 million with incentives. Hamels' deal will take him to the end of his arbitration period, and if he stays on task will probably end up saving us a fair amount that he would make in arbitration during his last two years of eligibility. Hopefully he just stays healthy.Now I'm just cringing to wait and see how much we have to pay Howard in arbitration. Link to post Share on other sites
Swift_Psycho 1 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Now I'm just cringing to wait and see how much we have to pay Howard in arbitration.Phils offer 14 million, Howard asks for 18. This is getting ridiculous. If the Phils drop out of it early this year, I'm really hoping we shop Howard around. Link to post Share on other sites
Moneyball16 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Yeah Howard might not even be worth the 14. If there were any comparable replacements I would look to deal him right away. Link to post Share on other sites
Swift_Psycho 1 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Yeah Howard might not even be worth the 14. If there were any comparable replacements I would look to deal him right away.I agree, but I know there's no way we deal him immediately after winning the championship. That's why now I'm currently hoping that we at least start to shop him the first "excuse" we get, such as dropping out of the race early this year. Link to post Share on other sites
Moneyball16 0 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 On the positive side a 2 year/10 million deal for Werth's last year of arbitration and his first year of free agency is an absolute steal. Link to post Share on other sites

Swift_Psycho 1 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Can't get a decent start yet in any of our games but we're still 3-3 so far. I guess I should be grateful. Link to post Share on other sites
akoff 0 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Can't get a decent start yet in any of our games but we're still 3-3 so far. I guess I should be grateful.Relax it is a long year. Cole is a key, if he gets a little pop back on #1 his change will be awesome...if he doesn't...ugh. The rest of the pitching staff will be ok, i think.Stay at 500 or little above and float along till it warms up and Howard goes on a monster heater.Utley still best player on team. We need him healthy!! Link to post Share on other sites
pezeveng 207 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 WASHINGTON -- Longtime Philadelphia Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas, who punctuated innumerable home runs with his "Outta Here!" call, died Monday after being found in the broadcast booth before a game against the Washington Nationals. He was 73. "We lost our voice today," team president David Montgomery said, his voice cracking. "He has loved our game and made just a tremendous contribution to our sport and certainly to our organization." Kalas was found by the Phillies' director of broadcasting at about 12:30 p.m. and taken to a local hospital, Montgomery said. Kalas had surgery earlier this year for an undisclosed ailment that the team characterized as minor. He looked somewhat drawn last week as the Phillies opened the season at home. Kalas joined the Phillies in 1971. Before that, he was an original member of the Houston Astros' broadcast team from 1965-70. He also did voiceover work for NFL Films and for commercials. In 2002, he received the Baseball Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick Award for his contributions to the game. Kalas joined the Phillies radio and TV broadcast team the year the club moved into their former home, Veterans Stadium, replacing fan favorite Bill Campbell. He wasn't immediately embraced by Phillies fans, despite being paired with Richie Ashburn, a Hall of Famer as a player, and longtime announcer. But Kalas evolved into a beloved sports figure in Philadelphia. He and Ashburn grew into a popular team, and shared the booth until Ashburn's death in 1997. Link to post Share on other sites
Swift_Psycho 1 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Finally blew one. And now we see if Lidge goes into suck-mode for a couple years... Link to post Share on other sites
akoff 0 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 It is September and the play-off race is almost over. Atlanta and the Florida are proving to be pretenders...the Mets...LOL Lets Go Mets!!Cliff Lee has been a HUGE pick-up, Blanton is trowing very well, Cole is showing signs of the fall. J-roll realized we are playing baseball this summer and is rolling along, the middle of the line-up is awesome...can we start the play-offs now??Lidge...well lets talk about the line up.

Swift_Psycho 1 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 So...we're including Lidge on the postseason roster. Awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
akoff 0 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 So...we're including Lidge on the postseason roster. Awesome. Two saves for Lights outs...whoohoo. Great game last night. Lidge tossed a couple of flat ones up there but lucky for us Tulowitski decided to take one of the best pitches he is ever going to see. He was terrible....but who cares a win is a win.The Fightins were so clutch in the 9th. They actually didn't play very well for the night but it was enough for this round.They will need to play and pitch better to beat the Dodgers. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Ryan Howard is hitting 400 OPS higher against right handers ( 1088) than he is against left handers (653). That is LOL funny. He's Barry Bonds against righties, and not a major league player against left handers, I've never seen such a massive split. Link to post Share on other sites

He's Barry Bonds against righties, and not a major league player against left handers, I've never seen such a massive split.This year that seems to be the case.

Swift_Psycho 1 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'm glad we managed to win tonight, for both the Phillies sake and the Yankees actually. If the Yankees are going to win, at least they'll get to celebrate the final win at home. Still holding out hope that we can just slug our way to wins the next two games though. It might not be too contrived a hope either given how many bombs we've been hitting. Link to post Share on other sites
LongLiveYorke 38 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Good game, Phillies. Utley is pretty frightening. Pettitte is going to have to figure out how to shut him down if we're going to take game 6 in the Bronx. Link to post Share on other sites
