Did he forget about the Astro years and the day he was a Devil Ray?

Bobby's first six years in Philly, in none of which he made an All-Star Game

Even though no more non-prerecorded HK calls, Dan Baker does a pretty cool "Bobby a-BRAY-YOU" himself

speaking of which, I wonder if wheeler will still do the PA in Clearwater?

22nd all time in walks and 23rd in doubles. He's had a hell of a career.

Steaks says it's only a 6-week tryout to see if he continues his hot streak long enough to earn a bench spot, and anyone whining about the signing should shut up

So who's left off the roster if he makes it, Ed?

Too bad the last year of that run was 11 years ago… still, hope he makes the club and retires a Phil. If he could be Ibanez in the first year as a Phillie that would be excellent.

it'd be excellent if anyone put up an .899 ops with 34 hrs and 93 rbis.

I think I blacked out - that's the only way I can explain not realizing how good Ibanez was that year. Holy crap. I knew he got off to a hot start but assumed he ended up around .820. Wow.

He did not deserve the shit he got from us. Of course, 2011...
