Upon light of this new (to me...) information. ****in PHILS!!!!

What you think we got Brad Lidge for a sandwich? lol

doug · 12-13-2007, 01:13 AM

I can understand the move of the Phillies. Aaron is 30, going on 31 soon. Giving him 5 years at that kind of money (when you need pitching) is not a good idea. And whoever said Aaron Rowand was only hot at the end of the year is on drugs. He had a strong year, all year. I love Rowand, I wish they signed him to 3 years.. but they didn't want to over pay, when we have Victorino (strongest arm in the outfield, most assists) and Werth.. both young and strong ball players.

Rowand certainly didn't play to his own standards until the latter end of the year, as is true with most of the Phillies team as a whole. Can't deny that one.

Where were you all season? Rowand sizzled in the beginning of the season at the plate, and in the field.. he had a .370+ average. He started declining to a .280 (which brought him down to the lower .300's for the rest of the season) average right before the all star break, and after it. He ended up with I believe a .310 average at the end of the season.

ozthunder · 12-13-2007, 01:45 AM

.306 i thought lol

doug · 12-13-2007, 01:51 AM

Sorry, I'm not a human encyclopedia of baseball knowledge... I just remember Rowand being one of the top batters in the league early in the season.

The philies are the cheapest team when the mention picking up players all they think about is their budget. They could care less if they win or not because they are making so much money either way.

turbo4g63 · 12-13-2007, 10:38 AM

And this is why the phillies will never go to the world series

ozthunder · 12-13-2007, 10:47 AM

lol it's ok doug.

Phillies FTL.

Damn right! I would have kept Rowan over Werth. It should be Rowan, Victorino and Bourne in the outfield! And who do we really have pitchingwise? Jaime, the young guy(can't remember his name, dark hair) and Myers and Spanish guy (closers). All the other "super" pitchers we had all got crippled during the season. [Sorry about not remembering names...it's football season ;) ]

Being as I missed Bourne being traded and think Rowand is overrated, probably not really as into it as I thought.

doug · 12-13-2007, 05:32 PM

haha.. no big.. baseball seasons are so long they are hard to keep up with. I watched and attended most of the games this year.. so I'm all about it.

05suby · 12-13-2007, 11:40 PM

hahaha i loved it when in the interview with the phillies owner on i believe sportnight he said that they arent cheap. that is such crap. go sign another joe schmo with a ****ty era you dumb rich ****. sorry but this **** really pisses me off. every year we sign no one when we need something big. i thought that **** was going to change the year when they signed thome and bell. bell ended up being a bust and then we get rid of thome for a good reason, but i thought after that year, hey maybe they arent cheap and will start spending money for the big name player. nope not at all. that was just a fluke.

GyrlSpeedRT · 12-14-2007, 12:34 AM

Plain and simple: you gotta pay to play...or pay to get players!

SovXietday · 12-14-2007, 12:34 AM

Suby, this is just an observation, but I find it hard to read your posts when half of it is asterixed out, lol.
