Phillies also interested in Kotsay

There is a scene in "All the President's Men" that epitomizes the way one has to differentiate what general managers say from what they mean. "All nondenial denials," former Washington Post executive editor Ben Bradlee is quoted as saying. "They doubt our ancestry, but they don't say the story isn't accurate." So when Phillies assistant general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. was approached about rumors that the Phillies are interested in Atlanta outfielder Mark Kotsay, his nondenial denial may have spoken volumes about the Phillies' interest. It should be noted that later reports had the Boston Red Sox on the verge of signing the outfielder, but the Phillies' interest is certainly noteworthy.

Hmmm....let's see, who do we want want from the Phillies? How about Jason Werth? ;-)

How 'bout the Muts shyte-hole bullpen blowing ANOTHER game. They must lead all of baseball in that category. Just had to know as soon as the later innings were coming that they would unravel. What a disgrace!..........maybe they can borrow a few pitchers from the Little League World Series champ Hawaii, couldn't hurt.....LMAO

This just in...................the muts bullpen has blown thier 22nd save of the season last nite, and all the other dopes around here talk about the Phillies pitching.............go figure.

NYMess, that was some game last night.....thought the Mets had it for sure.

Pedro was throwing A LOT of offspeed stuff.....and no fastballs higher than about 89.....I think his shoulder is done.

His fastball might be slower than Jamie Moyers, LOL.........he should have had that fork put in him two, three years ago.

Hasn't Pedro pitched two, three months in a row, he must be about ready for another stint on the DL

Nothing wrong with the Phillies pitching. It was the hitting, which may have turned the corner which would mean the end of your season.

Thats was absolutely pitiful last night.Only thing that got me to sleep last night was that when Philly likely takes the division they'll probably do the same thing all Philly teams when they get that far.

August 27, 2008  10:06 AM ET

Phils and Mets having a decent season. NL is wide open for a run at the championship but AL is allot stronger right now.

Mets need another complete game out of Johan tonight....You know he won't give the ball up to this pen if he's got a lead late in the game.

Mets will leave Philly tonight in first place.
