I liked the Ghost Rider movie. It wasn't in Spider-Man 1 or 2 or Iron Man territory, but it was pretty good.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 7, 2012 -> 03:33 PM) Does Kenny make it through the year? Yes, this is the rebuild year. I'd say he gets at least 2 more seasons.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 6, 2012 -> 06:44 PM) Pujols HR. He rounded the bases and the entire dugout was empty. They all went into the clubhouse after he hit it.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ May 6, 2012 -> 05:00 PM) To be fair, take the best player from any team and they'll struggle. Even a team as deep as OKC, without Durant, they're not winning it all. Take away Westbrook and Ibaka, and make Durant play with one arm. They'd definitely struggle.

Konerko

Wainwright is struggling coming off of TJ.

Bump for more picks

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 5, 2012 -> 10:38 PM) Philly is sitting at $174.5 million team salary in the USA Today version here, and the Luxury tax level is $178 million. Phils are sitting at that level for a reason, just like the Red Sox, so that they don't hit the luxury tax level and get compound penalties if they go over it another year. How are they going to do roster expansion on Sept 1 then? Won't that add more than 3.5 mil to their salaries?

Dunn

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 3, 2012 -> 10:44 PM) Let me guess, you have Brandon Allen, Clayton Richard, & Ryan Sweeney on your team too? Gio Gonzalez and Brandon McCarthy.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 5, 2012 -> 10:37 PM) Are the Phillies really in a position to give up that much in return for Matt Thornton, especially with his salary? Seems like fixing their offense on the fly with some band-aids for this season would be more of a priority. I didn't say that it would happen. I just speculated that it would be a nice trade for the Sox.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 5, 2012 -> 10:30 PM) And that starting pitching prospect better be able to throw in the mid 90's. Vance Worley would work for me. Philly can afford to move a SP to shore up their bullpen.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2012 -> 09:53 PM) Yep, he has no confidence in his secondary stuff now. Seems especially obvious after Cespedes crushed his screwball. Earlier in the year, he threw some nice curveballs to lefties. Almost all of his pitches in the 9th today were high in the zone. Some nicked the strike zone or got fouled off, but most were destined to be "balls" instead of strikes.

If you're moving Sale back to the bullpen, then Thornton should immediately be tradebait in a deal involving at least one young SP.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 5, 2012 -> 07:50 PM) Why do they even try?

FINALLY!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 5, 2012 -> 06:47 PM) Fundamentals gives the winning run 2nd base. You mean CLOWN fundamentals.

sigh

Don't walk guys... cmon!

WOOOOOOOOOOO!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 5, 2012 -> 04:27 PM) Can't fault that trade though. If Peavy is healthy he's the best player in the trade by a wide margin. Yeah, but he was traded while injured. If he was healthy at the time, he would have costed much more than he did.
