I'm not at all confident in this team, despite having the "greatest pitching staff since forever" or whatever we're supposed to be masturbating over right now.

You Phillistines or whatever citizens from Philly are called are weird...Bostonians, New Yorkers, Chicagoans and even oddball Californians all use porn, or at least Glamour magazine.
 
I cannot remember Philly fans being more united on one issue than hating this signing. There's a 0.2% part of the population that thinks it's a good, low-risk move, and a 99.8% part of the population that thinks this smells like desperation, having no faith that Utley will play this year or that any of our minor leaguers could back up Wilson Valdez.

They really are basically paying him nothing. If he sucks they cut him, end of story. It really is a no-risk move.

And it still sucks. I'm guessing they're absolutely maxed out and couldn't really spend on a more viable guy, and/or they really DO have faith that Utley will recover and didn't want to spend on a 2B when they'll only need him for a month. But I still think they'd have been better off finding the cheapest "all glove" infielder they could find, rather than rolling the dice with Castillo, who probably can't hit and is pretty much brutal defensively.

Well, CTU2fan called that one out the gate.

:happy:

i think ollie looks good in red, too.

Let's try this again...I think he'd look fabulous in pinstripes.
 
He's only being signed to back up anyway. Wilson Valdez is going to start at 2B assuming Polanco's elbow is fine (which it looks like it will be).
 
Look out, Boston. Kevin Millwood is taking his talents to the Bronx. CC, Burnett, Hughes, Nova, and the three headed Colon/Garcia/Millwood monster? Suddenly the Phillies' rotation looks like complete dog shit. These guys might break the single season wins record.
 
10 losses in a row? I know they don't count, but damn

Not to mention the epic choke job in the Mayor's Cup finale...
 
Less than 4 days until Opening Day. Looking forward to kicking this MLB Offseason thread to the curb and starting the 2011 regular season. :hyper::hyper::hyper:
 
No OD tickets for me, but I'm going to attend Yanks vs Twins next week in what should be CC vs Pavano (I think). Can't wait.
 
Yeah, that's gotta be tough. Here's hoping the weather is good for you.

Thankfully, I prepped myself last fall by seeing the Gopher football team play when it was in the teens.

(My hat's off to outdoor football fans in Nov., Dec., and Jan.--that is true fandom. I prefer the chill in a hockey arena.)
 
Beckett scares the crap out of me. That extension has a chance to be epically terrible.
