Philly may be selling this time around

......the cards victory last year over the greatest pitching staff ever, should have prompted mgt to turn the ship around that offseason.....dont know what the excuse....now they are an extra year from rebuilding a nucleus....hopefully for phillies some of the old pitchers dont get hurt and become worthless trade bait.....nats and marlins this year...

I'll take dome Domonic Brown for my Braves, Please!

Wonder if Halladay and Lee would like to reconsider signing in Philly now???

Why not? Lee went to the WS with the Phils, and his family loves the area. Halladay has a no-hitter in the playoffs, a perfect game in the regular season, and a Cy Young award. Not winning the WS sucks, but only 1 team wins it per year. I'm pretty sure the Cards and Giants weren't in the running for either of them. How many games into this season are we?

Looks like the Braves may be sellers as well.

At least the Philly fans didn't pour been on his wife's head.

Nope, they love it hear. Especially knowing that every year they'll have a legitimate chance at at least one championship.

I am pretty sure that Phillies have already decided on the Galvis and Mayberry. And that is part of the problem.

No, they just cheer when an opposing player gets injured, boo Santa Clause...great fans in Philly (hits sarcasm button).

Mick, all they have to do is build up their farm system and follow the Yankees and Red Sox blueprint of buying quality free agents................I'm absolutely amazed that there is all this worry (note: by NON-Phillies fans) over a team that's right around .500 with it's two biggest bats out of the lineup.....................I mean the Sawx and the Yankees are HEALTHY and they've got comparable records and for what it's worth ESPN still has the Phillies with a HIGHER playoff probability than either of those teams...................

And ESPN also picked the Sox and Phillies last year...so much for ESPN...

They should play both, I think Mayberry has already shown he is ready and Galvis looks like a good player as well.

I'm a diehard Yanks fan and they are relatively healthy but the Red Sox are far from it, no need for anyone to panic but just a quick fact check on you comment.

Yeah, the playoffs are a crapshoot, but making it to the playoiffs every year is still priceless.

That goes without saying.

Yankees bashers.........heres one thing for sure..you can't discount the Yanks history..although you always try. Bottom line though is......no one listens. Buying rings don't count, winning rings simply does. You know a ring is in the Yanks immediate future.

To the Yankees fan stating that the Phillies are trying to buy a title. Did you know that Howard,Utley,Rollins,Ruiz,Hamels,Worley and Victorino came up thru their farm system. They traded for Halladay and Pence. The real free agents are Lee ( They offered less then the Yankees), Papelbon and Polanco. You might want to get your facts straight before you type a response.
