Man that was a long ban for being attacked by a blogger.

But I digress...

What a terrible, boring, and lame off season for the Flyers.

He's 28. (29 in October)

Oh whoops. Puig is 23. The other Cuban!

But man I think they get thrashed here if they don't win the WS or if Lester doesnt re-sign. I can't envision Lester resigning but hey I know nothing.

EDIT: I am confusing him with Puig. This is what happens when you get like 6 hours of sleep in 2 days.

Billy Beane has the best team in baseball with one of the lowest payrolls. He's incredible. Beane to Amaro is like Fred Shero to Garth Snow.

Yeah, I can't see them re-signing Lester either. You're right, it's basically an all or nothing trade. But I can see it working out for them.

Apparently, Amaro asked the Dodgers for their top 3 prospects (all 3 are top 20 prospects in all of baseball). The Dodgers pretty much hung up the phone before Amaro could say another word.

This is in regards to Hamels

Amaro is just..arghh...I can't use the words I want, I'll get banned for life!!

Want Renberg in Flyers HOF too, to complete the Legion of Doom line.
- coffee junkie

As much as I Renberg and argued on his behalf last week, he didnt have the longevity to be included. If I can figure out which thread it was, ill post it. Bill gave a very detailed description of how the injuries took their toll on Renny and what he had to endure just to play....its pretty staggering

He may be the worst GM in Philadelphia sports history. He took a WS team (built by someone else) and completely ran it into the ground in a few years while also destroying the farm system. He's the last guy I want to see rebuild this team. Which I'm not even sure he thinks they even need to do. Phils management have been exposed as only caring about making money and not about winning.

Its ok. Puig is ridiculous. He reminds me of watching Ovechkin back in the day. You never knew what was going to happen, but you just had to watch him.

He always seems like he wants to rip the team, but just praises them. He must have horrible digestive problems right now

Dude trades away young players and claims they don't have room to sign them.

Signs over the hill players over market value.

Takes an asset and turns them into live grenades and than forces the Philly Franchise to jump on top of the grenade.

Why he still has a job just mystifies me. He took a very successful franchise and in just a few years ran it into the ground. Hell, Cliff Lee should have been traded last year. The Howard contract is just a joke. While I love Utley, he should be gone by 4pm today. Papelbon, with the money they are paying him, should have NEVER been given the right to block trades to more than 3 or 4 teams, if that. Byrd should be traded today, the friggin list is endless.

My grandfather, who grew up in Philly in the early part of the 20th century, was always an A's fan as they were, by far, the top franchise in Philly back then. If Amaro is still employed by the Phils at the start of spring training, I will be an A's fan as well. I'm just that angry!
