and just when I thought nothing could trump "JvR faked an injury to prevent a trade".. this comes along.

Hey the old axiom always holds true:

There's always ways to get better.

Kings should take note of the Dodgers, they have this 4 game sweep stuff figured out.

I'm sure the Kings could beat...say....the Blue Jackets 4 times in a row.

EDIT: Leight

A co-worker suggested this was related to a power struggle between he and Andy Reid. I don't know much at all about football, any truth to this?

Very possible. Roseman has taken over that role over the past year.

Phillies need to make some moves. The offense is not very good an they have no bullpen. Let's go Ruben, shuffle up and deal!

He has a winning hand, no need to shuffle up and deal.

Eskin said that he's looking to purchase a team of his own.

A few??

The "core" is 30 years old.

Nobody is in the minors.

Hell, they even suck now.

It's gonna be WAYYY more than a few...

They still have quality starting pitching. I still think this season is salvageable. If you see the lineup the Dodgers ran out on the field today void of Kemp and Either it's simply dreadful.

With 5 playoff spots now, I still think the Phillies get one of them

Wow. That trumps the Jersey Shore act from game 3. They are witty out there in Hollywood.

2008 makes it bareable tho. I mean, i would be ok with a few bottom of the barrel seasons for the Flyers if we could get ONE stinking cup

Agree 100%

I would deal with 10 straight 2007 type seasons.

No one will want Howard and that contract. This team doesn't even have pieces that'll get a decent return. There's Victorino and then..............

Domonic Brown doesn't even appear to be a legit prospect.

Really is a remarkably stupid statement, on multiple levels. Well done 'man

It was a joke. I'm sorry if it wasn't funny, and in addition if it was unclear.

However, please keep in mind that I don't share the same freedom of speech as you. If I called another's comments stupid, I'd be facing a lifetime ban.

So please accept my apologies and hopefully my jokes will be better (or even mildly decent) in the future.

I would trade Hamels. Reports don't look good and I think he walks. Plenty of guys to trade and get back something.

Halladay, lee, hamels, victorino, Rollins, polanco, pence. Just have to get creative and take the step backwards.

WHEW!! No need for the big apology though. All you needed to say was that it was a joke. It's cool

You definitely seemed serious, though....

Sorry on my part too. Put a sarcasm smiley or somethin after that though!!!

Apparently, Doc and Lee have (basically) a NMC in their deals. So there goes that.

Hamels- yes. But I say they NEED to sign him. He's an important and irreplaceable piece of the rebuild puzzle, moving forward.

Victorino- I've said that he's expendable. Which he is.

Realistically, Jroll and Polanco will yield jack poop. Same with Howard and Utley.

That leaves Victorino as, really, the only expendable piece. And he won't even give much of a solid return, provided Hamels stays put.

Amaro is royally (frank)ed. Seriously

Every player can be traded according to their contracts. Maybe limited to the teams but available. Have to take what you can get and free up money.
