If the Sixers win but nobody is there to see it, does it make a sound? http://www.depressedfan.com/img/100fans120710.jpg

Sweet, this team is fun to watch again.

Pat Gillick elected to Hall of Fame by veterans committee!

I have seen worse calls this year. On the replay, you could tell it was a bad call, but at live speed it was tough to tell.

...Ya think?

Brett Lawrie supposedly going back to Toronto. I am sure the Jays fans will love that...seriously.

Blue Jays trade Shaun Marcum to Brewers. Not totally sure for what yet. Marcum might be the most underrated starting pitcher in the business, IMO.

Still no extension, though.

Sooo, looks like A-Gon is headed to the Red Sox afterall.

OK, I am officially over Werth leaving. The absurdity of that contract has made me feel better about it. Still wish we could have their first round pick!

They are crazy, agreed. But I kind of get it. Kind of. I get it more coming from them than I would have from the Phillies or Red Sox. Young team, developing a pretty sweet core from within, felt they needed to make a "splash". Either way, it will be fun to see this contract cripple them 5 or 6 years down the road when they are actually a good team. Something you and I can both agree on.

He is getting 7 years and $126 million. Congrats to him. I am going to miss him, but he can't be blamed for taking the $$$. Doesn't make it hurt any less though .

So, he goes to a division rival and since they have a top 15 pick we don't even get their first round pick. Awesome.

Jayson Werth is close to signing with the Nationals. My heart was just ripped out of my chest.

Wow...

A win is a win, but today was ugly.

Epic fail.

So he can't cause damage during the early innings? I understand what the Cardinals are doing, they want his bat and are willing to sacrifice the defense, but he is a tremendous liability no matter how long he is playing the outfield.

It really isn't. I'm not sure if you were around here a couple years ago when people were making new threads for every trade/signing, but like IllWill said, it was way too messy. It's much more organized this way.

3-1! Also, Rasheed Wallace was sitting in front of us! He was wearing a Reggie Leach Flyers jersey. Pretty sweet.

Poor Colby Rasmus will be getting a work out on every fly ball.

WOW. Cardinals sign Berkman. Does not look like a good fit at all, interested to see how this works.

He didn't. Thanks for the jinx, it was much appreciated!

Supposedly the salary cap will go up by as much as $2 million next season. This is fantastic news for the Flyers, potentially. May be the difference between keeping and losing Ville Leino.
