While I hope that NY gets knocked out in the Playoffs, a rematch of Philly/MFY would be a great fucking series.

Is Utely back yet, or is he supposed to come back this year?

He's back, hit a long HR the other night.

My team's been out of it for months, so I'm pulling pretty hard for the Phils. I'd love to see Oswalt get a ring.

I'm glad the phils got Oswalt, take it you're a stros fan? I wanted to keep Happ though he's gonna be good for a while and Oswalt was brought in obviously for the next couple years as he'll start to decline.

Damn The phils and stros' have come up pretty even in their last couple trades, I liked Bourn, Fuckers a speed demon, and Lidge was good for at least the WS run. Astros did the right thing rebuilding this year, gonna be a good team pretty damn quick, Hell they're playing pretty good the second half, might be a surprise team next year.

Dude. Right now our pitching is paper thin. JJ and Nolasco are shut down, Sanabia and Volstad were suspended. Anibal Sanchez wasn't scheduled to pitch in that series. You ended up facing Andrew Fucking Miller , Althberto (sp?) Mendez (whom I quite like, he's got some good stuff. Too bad the bats couldn't get it together that night), and...our bullpen for the 3rd game. Horrors!

Speaking of Uggs...I'm bad for not saying anything sooner. Congrats to him, he is the first 2nd baseman EVER to hit 30 HRs four straight years. Much love to him.

Yeah, I'm an Astros fan. I agree that they've had some good trades with the Phils. They seem to have worked out pretty well for both parties so far. Lidge was done here. He was "Lights Out Lidge" until Pujols fucked up his confidence in the NLCS, then he was just never the same. It was good to see him regain it after a change of scenery. I love watching Bourn play ball. The guy routinely turns singles into triples with his base path wizardry. He saves a shit ton of runs with his glove too. If he could figure out how to add about 20 points to his average, he'd be Pete Rose. As for Oswalt, I love the guy. He was nothing but class as an Astro. A soft spoken pro that always delivered. I was really sad to see him go, but I think the Astros made the right move in trading him when they did. They had to rebuild, he wanted a chance at a ring before he was done, and from what I've seen so far, they got good value for him. Happ looks like he could be a keeper if he can manage to iron out some consistency, and Myers (the guy they got from, fuck I forget, I want to say Toronto) out of that deal, looks like he just might be the guy to replace Berkman at first. Anyway. I'm pulling for the Phils this year, mainly because they have a couple of ex 'stros on the roster that are some of my favs. I hope they kick all kind of ass in the post season.

You mean wallace? that's a big mother fucker guys got legs like redwoods, I remember seeing that dude the series in which the astros flattened the phils in philly, I honestly thought the phils were done after that series then the braves started regressing. I'd like to see them back and get a crack at the yankees but fuck if the reds and rockies don't worry the fuck out of me, the way tulo and gonzalez are hitting I wouldn't want any part of them, and the reds offense is scary, Votto's a bad ass.

Oops, yeah, Wallace, don't know where the fuck Myers came from. I'm about a 12 pack down tonight. That kid has legs like Earl Campbell. He hasn't shown much power yet, but you know it's gotta be there. The Phils look like they're gonna lock it up to me, but the Rockies are pretty fucking scary. I don't have much confidence in the Reds. Maybe it's an NL Central rival bias, but they ALWAYS seem to lay down when it counts.

Wallace will def be a good power hitter in time, especially in minute maid.

Yeah, it's the first name Brett that through me off probably. He's been nails for them this year. That guy eats innings for breakfast.

Didnt Brett have the best era in the national league after the as break?

I'm not sure about that, but he had a looooong streak of going at least 6 innings.
