Just saw the details on the Abreu trade -- wonderful move by the Phils. Let's give up a 30-30 all-star outfielder and a crappy pitcher for two crappy pitchers and a shortstop prospect we can't use, because we already have an all-star at short and second. Awesome move. Hope all the Abreu haters who aren't watching the Phils anyways are excited about the future now.
Seriously, getting pitchers from the Yankees is about the dumbest move in the world (well, short of picking up an SS when that's the one position you have). If they had anyone competent in their farm system, they'd be up pitching right now. This was an absolute scam, once again benefitting the Yankees.
Abreu has been unfairly maligned by WIP, because he's a lazy outfielder. And I'm sure over the course of a season, that sub-par play costs them three or four runs. "I want to see my players play hard." Yeah? I want to see them win. None of these nobodies they picked up will help them do that. I'd love to see Manny in Philly -- he'd pick up 130 RBI each year and we'd boo him because of his fielding.
Maybe if Gillick tries real hard he can pick up another shortstop for Ryan Howard. After all, Howard runs to first base kinda slow. I think that shows he's lazy. Let's get rid of the bum.
GAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!! Even in Afghanistan the Phills are killing me.

i'm getting a little tired of always being the first comment. don't you people sit around at 2 am and wait for a posting from leo? Up and at 'em folks.
Tom, I can't get on my computer at 2 am because you're on it. Just kidding. Besides, I do have to wake up before noon.
Anyway, who cares about the Phillies. The EAGLES play their first game next week.
Gees, Leo..tell us how you really feel about the Abreu trade.....what about Lidle (I think that's his name) - no love lost there??? Heard this morning that T.O. put on quite a show at practice before some 5000 Cowgirls fans. Of course, the diva had to be the last one to take the field, then caught some great catch and did one of his celebratory moves. Ugh! I hope they implode! Love, Mom Doyle
I am confused. As I sit here listening to disk 3 of "Autumn Thunder : 40 Years of NFL Films Music" and making plans to watch the HOF Induction of Reggie White, I wonder what exactly an "Abreu" is. I checked all my football season transcripts for the last 5 years and don't see any mention of this word. Is this a new term for the horse collar tackle?
We could only hope to be that lucky to have all of the Dallas Cowgirls and the stinkin' cockroaches they call fans implode upon themselves Mrs. D. I think I can smell the "stink" that is T.O. (terrible odor) permiating through out my office...oh wait, that's a backed up sewer line on the 4th floor (can anyone say sulfur???) But you all know that smell...and he stinks!!!
Glad all is well with you, Leo. Not only am I counting down the days to a 10 hour marathon at Guiseppe's, but also the closer you are to coming home means the less time you have to find an Eagles fan!!! And yeah, the Abreu thing? I would be more worried about Stinkston's aching achilles. Poor baby...
leo,
i thought long n hard about the abreu trade.it was smart move on my part. i'm trying my best. i wanted mitch williams n lenny d. back but they r running car washes. please stop ur whinning. just remember what dave bell used to say...."They win n Phillies lose." he got dumped. u whinned and i sent u to other side of the world. dont mess with me.
ummm, yeah... i'd like to write something clever, 'cause i haven't responded to the last 3 postings, but i can't work with this kind of material...
so instead, 'you can tell Rolling Stone magazine that my last words were... I'm on drugs!'
why don't i own this movie?
Russell Hammond: You, Aaron, are what it's all about. You're real. Your room is real. Your friends are real. Real, man, real. You know? Real. You're more important than all the silly machinery. Silly machinery. And you know it! In eleven years its going to be 1984, man. Think about that!
Aaron: Wanna see me feed a mouse to my snake?
Russell Hammond: Yes!
Hey, don't know if you saw, but the Phillies traded Cormier today for another minor league player.
This is hot off the presses. About 15 minutes ago Charlie Manuel called the house. He found out from one of the T-Ball kids he was recuiting that I bat lefty. To make a long story short, I'm suiting up on Saturday and playing first base for Ryan Howard. Go figure.
I want to be number 6, so if I get knocked over I can be number 9.
When you get back I'll get you some tickets.
Thank god for Utley. At least he gives Philly something to look at.
Romano, you're the first one in line to get yelled at over this trade when I get back.
And I allowed to complain about the Phils until Aug. 6. That's when football starts over here.
Glad to see the Ohio contingent checking in -- tell Tom Glavine to keep the curveball up.
Someone is blogging under my name PAM...Abreu was a waste of space in the outfield. Thank God I don't have to see him try to catch anything else out there. And how many times did he take the bat out of Jim Thome's hand last year by stealing 2nd. The phils freed up 20 million they can use to get some starting pitching and lock up utley during the off-season.(I think he is up) With Cormier gone, now they just have to get rid of Lieber and Burrell and they will be on track for next year. Remember they are only 5.5 behind the reds in the wild card.
Just wanted to let you know that Joanna is driving Mom crazy right now. She thinks that there is something scratching at home. I hope she finds out what it is.
