Phillies get Nicassio.

Phillies picked up Nicassio off the waiver wire. PIRATES DID A PAYROLL DUMP I THINK.
THIS GUY IS A SOLID RELIEVER WITH AN ERA UNDER 3.00. What a lucky break! Stassi was given the boot

He just needs a five-run lead.

I WAS AROUND FOR THE MITCH WILLIAMS ERA. IT WAS PAINFUL TO WATCH THE WILD THING.
When he gave up the homerun to joe carter in the world series we were cooked!

middle of the plate and boom! These guys need to have their shrinks standing next to them on the mound!
