So because of a terrible start by Rollins the Phil's now have no shot at the series despite him heating up for the last quarter of the season?Makes little to no sense.
This is all a ploy to eat my shit stained boxers.

rollins had nowhere to go but up
i just don't think they will make it

In the back of my mind is that they could be peaking too soon as far as hitting is concerned.They will need to hit great to overcome the pitching they will face if they don't get Halliday.

by the way, your closer has a 7.11 era

Disappointing but not so much.Looks like they didnt give up any of the 3 guys they didnt want to part with so I'm sure the front office is happy.Do you think a 65 year old charlie manuel is happy they didnt trade some guys he'll never manage instead of getting the best pitcher on the market?Either way I'm calling a world series appearance.
I heard on that big queer mike and mike show on espn that the red sox are now the favorites to get halliday.

i've heard that too, which pretty much means that Halladay isn't going anywhere. hope I'm wrong.

WoolyGoat Wrote:excited for the Wilson/Snell era?No. I see us now signing branyan to a hefty contract only to watch him fizzle sexson style. Now we dont have a prospect in place to replace him when he does. It will be sad to see Clement have a good career. Snell is a good transition pitcher until some of our prospects mature. Snell will only be pitching 4-5 in the rotation though

well at least you've still got Erik Bedard.

Not sure what the Indians got out of the deal.The more I look at it the more I feel they were fleeced.The pitcher they got is in single A and supposedly has arm problems.Carasco is a nobody.The catcher they gave up is supposed to be good but not a major prospect.Nothing worth last years Cy Young winner.
The Phils have a lot of left handers at this point.
I see Pedro being a set up guy and nothing more.
It would be hilarious if they went out and got Halliday anyway.

Lee is a great pickup for the Phillies...but don't forget who he is. He's 31 years old with one (very) good season under his belt and not a whole lot else. he hasn't even been all that great this year; his era is solid but it should probably be higher given his whip.
I think that's why the Phils didn't have to give up a ton to get the guy, which makes it a perfect deal for them.

What does his car have to do with it?(see I am black!)
heading into the all star break - Anhil8tor - 07-30-2009
lee is a poor mans halladay.
the phils problem is middle relief and closing out games.
heading into the all star break - BIRD33 - 07-30-2009
The Phil's problem NOW is middle relief and closing.Lee is a definite upgrade over J.A. Happ.I think Madsen can be serviceable if Lidge shits the bed.I wouldnt say middle relief is a problem really anyway.More like average.
