Nah, the Bozeman Elks Lodge wouldn't put that kind of product out there. I do think Myers would make a good wrestling heel though.

Maybe get him, John Rocker and Phillip Rivers in a Confederate version of the Mean Street Posse, yelling at the crowd, spitting tobacco, wearing cutoff flannels, taking cheap shot chair hits at all the minority wrestlers with Dueling Banjos intro music.

Make it happen. Offer Howard for Haren and any prospects they want for Harang.

Only one natural solution for the 5th starter.

If I'm the Phillies, I'd make a commercial starring Halladay, Hamels, and Happ that features Triple HHH's theme music, The Game.

"It's all about the game and how you play it" indeed.

Except nobody watches wrestling anymore so most people wouldn't get it

Take it to the wrestling thread.

Sheehan says its a lateral move

by **Houshphandzadeh** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 17:20:48

Does the option only take effect if it vests or is it also just a team option?

Have to love how Sheehan views trading for arguably the best pitcher in baseball as 'unremarkable'.

There is nothing natural about him.

In Sheehan's defense, I think he's saying that the trade itself would be unremarkable absent the severely discounted extension, which is probably right in the sense that unremarkable means not particularly good

The extension Halladay signed justifies an otherwise unremarkable trade by the Phillies, who gave up three good prospects, including the heretofore untouchable Kyle Drabek, to bring in Halladay on the last season of his contract. That’s the kind of trade teams make all the time, dealing prospects for a player who can help them win when they’re at the peak of the success cycle, and for all the hype this trade has received, it’s not all that special in the abstract. The Phillies’ ability to get Halladay to sign a favorable extension, however, gives them an anchor in the years to come. It was worth sacrificing the prospects not for the 2010 season, but for the 2011-13, perhaps 2014, seasons to come, at the price they paid for those seasons.

Oh, I get it. It was not worth it but worth it.

by **Houshphandzadeh** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 17:38:21

Don't we all pretty much agree that the combo trade would suck without the extension?
