Great news for the 2007 NL East Champions. Go Phils, F the Mets.

[Bud8Weiser]

Thats great news. I would have hated to see them lose Chase. Go Phils.

[SnuggleBug]

Awesome, can we now lock up our MVP? PLEASE!?!?!

[J. PETERSON]

good.
If I had to root for an NL team, it'd be the Phils.

Love watchin them play

No need to yet, I don't even think he's arbitration eligible for a couple more years.

Usually when that starts, that's when you take a look at locking guys up.

[CM Mark]

Good job Phils. Always a good thing when a team resigns one of their best players.

you are right he has a few years yet before they have to sign him but with the numbers he put up and him wanting a long term deal they shouldnt wait. I mean he got rid of his manager because he told him he shouldnt go after a long term deal. make the guy happy and keep him in philly.

we also need to get meyers contract done as well.

[weakside]

Great player. Phily will be a team to watch next year...

[Wilmington WOW]

good job now promise to not let Howard go, also we need someone to bat behind him and another good arm

Sorry, I can't post a new thread but I'd like to put out a pest alert. MLB is signing an exclusive deal that will make the MLB Extra Innings package available only to Direct TV customers. This means if you do not live near your favorite team and do not have Direct TV you are out of luck. Please do what you can to contact MLB and voice your concerns.

See nomaas.org for more details.

Comcast has it all locked up here. No worries. People with satellite are SOL in the Philly area when it comes to local sports.

that is the truth and it sucks. i still dont understand why i cant get the phils games if i purchase the mlb package. I am 60 miles away from philly and i do attend games but i dont make it a weekly thing and i wouldnt stop going just because i have the package. comcast is such a cock blocker

[Sinn Fein]

Comcast doesn't have to provide Sportsnet to the satellite companies. If you're in an area where you can get cable tv with CSN-Philly, it's blacked out on satellite even if the game is on ESPN or something. It blows.

Verizon is coming in with their fiber-optic service. They will be carrying Comcast Sportsnet. That's what I am eagerly awaiting here so I can give Comcast the ol' heave-ho.

The Mets locked up Reyes and Wright for $78.25M combined for a combined 10 years

Gillick really got fucked in the ass by Arn Tellem here

when did this become a comedy thread?





he has had more than enough opportunities and cant produce for an entire season. plus the guy is injury prone with way too many strikeouts. decent player just not behind howard and certainly wont protect him.
