As far as Baseball goes it will be a very tough road ahead with normal people trying go buy seats. Who in their right mind will pay over 50 USD for a Baseball game? " Not Me ". Thank God radio is still here and they dont charge for that yet. All we have to do is to put up with the commercials of Lawyers and Credit Card Companys. We can always turn off the radio for that.

It probably makes the most sense to move Rowand He's in the last year of his contract, his value will never be more than right now, and Victorino is really a centerfielder. But it's a tough sell to your fans when your 5 games back and the guy just played in the All-Star game. I agree.

Here's the problem with the Phillies as I see it: the organization would be better off in the long term if they were sellers at the deadline. But the fans would mutiny. So what's a GM to do? Paul, I agree with everything you just wrote.

Smith says or thinks is idoiotic. But so is he. The Phillies are not out of it. Their team would, however, be much better if they understand that having flyball pitchers in that ballpark is a bad idea. Plus, he gives no love to Aaron Rowand. He's been a top-3 CFer in the NL this year. Terrence Moore's article is terrible. If someone could tell me how players are supposed to learn how to win tight pennant races, I'd love to hear it. Please describe it for me. Plus, he seems to think that Chuck James is solid. He's not. And I'm still not sure how you segue between claiming that Chipper and Smoltz can't stay healthy and defiantly stating that the winning pedigree of Chipper and Smoltz will carry them through. Ass.
