Doan would be a nice Jagr replacement at the right price.

This Phillies team is absolute hot garbage. An unwatchable, boring team, that can't hit their way out of a paper bag.

Maybe Cliff Lee will win a game before June. What a friggin trainwreck.

You didn't see this coming?? Look at this lineup....

Pierre, Polanco, Victorino, Pence, Chooch, Luna, Galvis, Fontenot, Doc

That's a high school lineup. Complete Garbage. There's 4 starters on this team that would be riding the pine on 25 other teams in the MLB.

They need to blow it up.

No I'm not kidding.

They have no one in the minors...the future is bleak. Blow it up.

No, I didn't envision this team being in last place in the Division at the quarter pole of the season. Regardless of how bad the offense is, Halladay, Lee and Hamels should be more than enough to win a bunch of games. Good pitching beats good hitting 90% of the time. See the 2010 SF Giants.

The problem is however that most teams have at least one major league pitcher and a majority of at least AAA talents. The Phillies offense couldn't hit decent college pitching, so It doesn't matter if Hamels, Halladay, and Lee are studs. Because unless they shut out everyone, they aren't going to win many games.

You can't shut out everybody. It doesn't matter how good their starters are. You need to score to win, which this offense can't.

Also, the pen doesn't help. You didn't see a pathetic bullpen either, huh?

I guess I was the only Phillie fan to see it coming

Well, the guys who set the over/under wins totals in Vegas had the Phillies at 93 wins, and that's with it being known that Utley and Howard would be out. I guess those guys who make a living at it, don't know as much as you do.

How come the Kings' opponents can't score 2 in a row??

I hate Doughty.

I hate the Kings.

I hate the Devils.

I hate the Rangers.

This really sucks

Guess not.

You can't possibly believe that junk, do you? Those same guys had the Angels in the World Series, the Yanks and Sox fighting for 1st in the AL East, the Orioles losing 90 games, the Penguins winning the Cup, the Kings losing in the first round....

Vegas means nothing.

Exactly. It means nothing. That's why casinos are buildings that cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build, they are being built in spite of everyone winning.

I meant you can't expect Vegas to be right. Did you read what I posted? Just because Vegas has a team winning a Cup doesn't mean it's going to happen.

Does the favorite in horse racing win every time? Absolutely not. Vegas means nothing in terms of an outcome. Are you seriously going to argue that??

Don't worry the Kings will score in due time.

God forbid the Yotes score 2 in a row....

Just brutal Hammar. I'm getting in football mode, no sense in watching this dead team all summer.

This Kings/Yotes game is insane. If Phoenix wins tonight, the Kings will be gripping their sticks awfully tight in Game 6.

Well of course they aren't right 100% of the time. It's not an exact science.

Right...my bottom line is that Vegas odds should be taken with a grain of salt. I, for one, completely ignore them. They just are unnecessary, in my opinion. Plus, games or seriesezezez aren't played in a computer or on paper. It's cliche, but it's true...anything can happen. That's what I meant by Vegas meaning nothing.

i've never heard that expression before. just made me laugh.

i hate baseball. couldn't pay me to watch a game in may, flyers or no flyers. the phillies end result has been regression 1 step at a time since 08, so they're just following the pattern. honestly, how long can a team win the division? eventually it's going to come undone and with all the issues they have now, from what i hear, it makes sense. and i couldn't give a flying (frank).

i missed the first half of the game, and i've seen it go from 2-1 yotes, to trailing to tying the game at 3-3. been fun. as we all know, my predictions are worthless, but i like the yotes in this one.

frick and frack with a key play on their 3rd goal. they also were on the ice for the tying goal.

Yup. I really don't know what I should root for, I don't think Phoenix would be able to beat either Eastern Conf. team in the SCF, I'm starting to come around to the thinking of rooting for the Kings in the Finals. I can't deal with the Rags winning with that (frank)stick Tortorella, and I can't deal with a fourth Devils Cup.

i feel sick to my stomach for thinking this, but i'm starting to admire what the devils are doing in these playoffs. i didn't give them much of a chance to do any damage, and yet here they are deadlocked at 2-2 in the ecf. part of me would rather they win the cup over LA should either team advance to the final. the rangers haven't been very good this series despite the deadlock. i can see the devils taking the series. i'd much prefer a devils cup over a rangers cup. in the end, it all (frank)ing blows, which is why i want phoenix to win - but their chances are obviously very low.
