I hope the DH is coming to the National League. Watching pitchers bat is painful. lol
When Bryce Harper gets his final paycheck from the Phillies in 2031, Bobby Bonilla will still be four years away from his final paycheck from the Mets.
That turns a good day into a great day! #lolmetsI saw this on twitter...

I feel the same way. I would grudgingly like to see them sign Harper at this point having missed out on Machado. It surprises me that they would not go above 300 million for Machado. Nevertheless, if they don’t get Harper it will not be a significant disappointment.
Trout would be great but the Angels are going to spend the next year working on an extension. Highly unlikely that he gets to Philly. On the other hand, the Phils will have the advantage of working on an extension for Realmuto over the next year.
Agree regarding the drafts. I understand the tanking theory but for it to work a team must come out of it with tradable assets. The system is pretty barren at this point due to failed drafts. I am afraid this team is destined for mediocrity.
Ugh - I already told my kids it’s ok to still boo Harper
So you're going to encourage your kids to boo a player who just signed, hasn't said a single word yet and hasn't taken a single at bat? Um, OK. Are you upset because of the money he earned? Don't like his agent (which I'd agree, but that doesn't mean Harper is a bad person)? To my knowledge, Harper hasn't done anything horrible in society (i.e. Michael Vick), etc... If he gets to Philly and is a total bust, boo away. But for cryin' out loud, the ink on the contract is still wet. They just signed one of the best players in baseball, I don't get the hate. If he bats .310, hits 40 HR, 110 RBI, and blends well into the Philly world, will you still boo him?
Wow, I didn’t know what I did would create such a passionate response from some random person. PS I never said I encouraged it.... but I do welcome them to express themselves
And you guys have our boy Cole. Hopefully he can continue to bring you success... at least until the NLCS.He's yours now and I, for one, am jealous. I really wanted him for the Cubs. The Phillies are now a very talented team. Hold on tight Phillies fans, it's going to be a wild ride.
I'm like "Ho, hum."
My fearless prediction. Five years or less until a messy acrimonious divorce.
