Phew! Everything is back to normal, guys. The Mariners are shitty again!

I'd suggest attempting to keep things on an even keel. There's still plenty of games left. You have a propensity for "the sky is falling!" at the slightest bump in the road.
Can I interest you in a designated hitter who is on the market?
So hey PhilsFan, are you a fan of blowing up the entire team if they can get a bunch of prospects back (even if it means eating a shit-ton of salary)?
They don't have anything anyone wants so it's not an option. There's no blow up option.
Sure they do. They have Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels, and Chase Utley. They also have Marlon Byrd, Jimmy Rollins, and Jonathon Papelbon. If the Phillies eat a bunch of money, they could get some good shit back for those 6. It would destroy the on-field team, of course, but it'd be an Astrosian rebuild.
Howard is the only player I've read that they are willing to eat salary on.
No one wants Lee off an injury or Papelbon at all (too much baggage and declining production, even if the Phils eat salary). Utley and Rollins have no 10-5 NTCs. Byrd's return will be limited at best, and the team doesn't want to eat any of Hamels' contract.
I'm going to Sox/Yanks Friday night. I'm far more enthused to see Sammy Hagar on Saturday night.
