Series thread. Phillies at Marlins.

Burnett to the Pirates. Trade Bastardo for a minor league starter. Howard to anyone and pay half his salary. Trade Paps to the tigers and eat about 3 million of his salary.

Does Burnett pass the physical though?

Howard, if that deal could be made, would be nice. Not thrilled about paying half his remaining contract but we have Ruff on the cheap for a few more years so it's doable.

The paps trade I love. I think you nailed the right team. They are a closer away from being a true nightmare and think we could r*pe them over a paps deal.

Rupp needs a hitting coach as does half our roster.

 

[Retroram52]

Revere gets on with the error by Solano. First time tonight there are two runners on base simultaneously. Pathetic. And the result is the same as 24 other times the Phillies have gone five innings without a run scored. 17 scoreless innings and counting. More krap.

 

[Retroram52]

That was the lamest throw from center field to third base that I have seen a long time!!

 

[Retroram52]

Another run scores and this is looking more like another loss.

 

[Retroram52]

Utley gets a lead off hit and that breaks a 0-11 slump. More krap. Now Howard gets a base hit. Geez, a mini comeback!

 

[Retroram52]

Nice base hit by Byrd and that is three straight singles. That is the first time in this series the Phillies have done that. I guess they are tired of losing.

 

[Retroram52]

Come on Hernandez, a base hit gets somebody home.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice sac base hit by Hernandez and the 17 scoreless innings ends. The Phils finally score a run in Miami.

 

[Retroram52]

Well Rupp, here is your chance to get your first major league RBI.

 

[Retroram52]

Way to go Cameron!!! Second double and first RBI!! Yea Baby!!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like another new guy in left field, Alterr is having a decent night.

 

[Retroram52]

Now Kendricks is walking a batter and this is not good.

 

[Retroram52]

Rupp has one helluva an arm and Rollins got the tag. That throw to second was a bullet!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Hernandez is quietly having a pretty good game.

 

[Retroram52]

Another wild pitch gets away from Salt boy and Howard moves up. This Altherr kid is pretty decent and very good defensively but he's not quite up to speed with major league pitching yet.

 

[Retroram52]

Damn it Diekman.

 

[Retroram52]

Stanton is on and Diekman has given up back-to-back base hits.

 

[Retroram52]

Freakin' Diekman just killed Rupp with that dirt ball and the runners move up. That flimsy one-run lead is not looking good at this point.

 

[Retroram52]

That ties the ballgame. Freakin' Diekman!
