Yeah, but when he's not pitching, that means that Halladay, Oswalt, or Hamels probably are.
) This deal doesn't help the Braves, but I can support anything that shuts up Yankees' fans. 
I just heard the news from DH and I can't believe it. My 9 and 7yo were jumping up and down and hugging each other.
You would think we just told them about our upcoming trip.
I knew someone would have posted already on the boards.Interestingly enough, our problem in the 2010 Post-Season wasn't pitching. I'm very excited that Cliff Lee is back (didn't want him to go in the first place), but unless we decide to start hitting more consistently, we're going to see a lot of 2-1 losses.
Pardon me if I'm not ready to string up the banners just yet...but I'm crossing my fingers.
Their offense was so flat this year, except in Sept. They just died in the post season.
If their offense is at least consistent, then they're golden.
I am a Braves fan, but I detest Yankee fans (collectively). I like the team - great players - but the fans are the most obnoxious of any team in any sport that I have come across. (They make Bama fans look humble.
If the Phillies can get their bats going again, they will be huge favorites next year. Still, I have learned that the favorite rarely wins in MLB. So, if I were a betting man, I would not bet on the Phillies winning the WS next year. That said, they almost certainly will win at least once in the next few years. As a baseball fan, that is all that you can reasonably hope for.
Did you read the story about the Phillie fan puking on a cop and his family on PURPOSE? And did you know that Phillie stadium has a booking desk downstair to process all those they get arrested at the game. So I think that Phillies fans are the worst around.
Me, too.
