Jonathan Papelbon.

 

Jeeesssssh.....:icon_rolleyes:

Papelbon is a joke. And it's November......... 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

huh ? he's a joke ? oh i have to hear this one. imp2:

 

And the National League New York Yankees are at it again. Maybe they can bring in Keith Foulke next.

 

don't hate because the phillies spend their money much more wisely than mets ever did. a02:

taking the money out of the discussion and simply looking at ability i have no issue with signing.

 

He almost single handedly drove the Rays to Texas this October. We didn't tip him.

 

jesus christ you hyperbole too much. yeah it was all papelbon that led to the red sox collaspe.

:laughy32:

 

I would have preferred keeping Madson, but I can't complain.

 

exactly. wouldve been nice to keep ryan but this is not a bad alternative.

 

I'm good with it. Doesn't help wake the bats, but that is what Thome is for...right? Lol...

If Paplebon brings a case of beer and a couple decks of fresh cards, the fans will live him...a throwback to '93

 

Well I hate that news, Papelbon is a good closer. Congrats Phillies fans.

 

Ummm...umm....wha?...umm...

I will always love Papelbon...little hecker grew on me over time.

 

I'm not crazy with the $ dropped on him but I'm hoping it works out. I think Madson is going to explode someday, wish it could have been with us.

 

Traded Ben Francisco to the Blue Jays.

Signing Dontrelle Willis pending a physical?

 

gotta love the big changes amaro made.

 

wow, so many changes in the line-up.

 

Heeeeeee's back! Ed Wade joins the scouting department.

 

gotta say i dont mind this move. wade was part of the decision making in drafting rollins, utley, howard and others. he just made brutal trades.

 

Not thrilled at all. Glad he can't get involved in the trading process but I have no idea who would really consult him for anything. Yes, he made some great moves, but he also made a bunch of crapty ones as well. I just don't like the guy.
