Such a better trade then giving up our whole farm and most consistent starter this year for a 33 year old Halladay.


Lee is only owed 8 mil next year. (Halladay 15 mil) And I believe we have a much better chance signing him long term then we would have with Halladay.

cleveland gets a AAA pitcher in Carrasco, 6-9 with a 5 era, jason knapp, the supposed centerpiece with is 2-7 in A ball, a catcher hitting .235 when they have santana, and a shortstop jason donald hitting .231 in the Rookie League.

What a great trade for the Phils. Our playoff staff (knock on wood), Cole "Hollywood" Hamels (who I wouldnt trade for ANYONE when the pressure is on), Cliff Lee, J.A. Happ, and Joe Blanton. Oh yeah, we also have a 3 time Cy Young winner who if he gets his rhythm well can help us out.

AND we also got a right handed batter (which we desperately needed) who had 10 homers, 13 steals and a .250 average.. and in the past 7 games has a .417 average with 3 homers, 6 rbi's.

Ruben Amaro you are the man!

Look out Scuds!

You already had us. We are gunna start that chokin' Lady Billingsley twice, and we don't hit good pitching(at all.) Maybe 2 guys can do it, and that's not a team. Dodgers should of made this deal, but no. We got to go to the post with mediocre starters, and can't hit good pitching. We are made to play the regular season, and the Cubs in the post. Gales wonders why their isn't a full crowd. Maybe people know it's not a serious playoff team. I told ya they needed to get rid of these chokes. They had value. They still have value. You can't win a ring with chokes being the backbone of your post season pitching staff.
