Pretty happy we're not gonna have a losing season

yeah that's sort of remarkable in and of itself given the first half

COMMON YOU KNOW WHO WOULD BE HAPPY WITH A WINNING SEASON THE FUGGEES THATS WHO

Not as much as the Pirates

That's where I'm at. I'm also pretty happy to see Aumont and Ruf(sample size )have some big league success too. Horst has been great.

All 10 playoff teams have an ex-Phillie. Representin

WSH = Wertz, Gonzalez (minors)
ATL = Bourn, Durbz
CIN = Rolen, Exxon, Madson, Cairo
STL = Lohse
SF = Pence
NYY = RAUUUUUUUUL, Garcia
BAL = Thome, Chavez
DET = Quintin Berry (minors)
TEX = Oswalt
OAK = Brandon Moss, Travis Blackley (minors)

doesn't BAL have another ex-phillie? I heard him hit a go-ahead homer a couple days ago. but maybe he's not playoff-roster?

How about that Brandon Moss

ah, forgot about him

Baltimore also had Wolf, Endy and Paulino at some point this year too, but not right now

could still be the doyers, do they have any ex-phils?

endy was game endy instead of inning endy last night so he's still there.

doh! they said "manny" machado on the news I guess. I thought it was "Anderson".

what does blows my mind is JC Romero pitched for the Phillies just last year

Crap, I checked Orioles.com and somehow missed his name on the active roster. My bad.

The Dodgers? hmm... Are they at 7 or 8 now?

Oh crap......forgot Gio on the Nats list.

Steaks mentioned BJ Upton as a CF possibility in his column today and had a "rival scout" calling Braun a good hire

Would that be that BJ Upton with a .299 OBP and a career-low BB this year?

OK, I'm being unfair. He's got 28 HR and 31 SB and there aren't a lot of good CF alternatives for next year. He's got Rube's White Whale label written all over him. Early signing. Lots of years, lots of millions.

P.S. I just remembered he started his career as an INF, playing a lot of 3B. Not well, but he did play there.

Choch closing on Carli Lloyd

How about Cliff Lee possibly clinching a winning record for the team

It was a year ago yesterday when he came up large in the NLDS.

why does chooch have a walking stick
