My love of baseball in all its forms: the Phillies, fantasy baseball, the hot stove, the playoffs, the roar of the crowd, the trade rumors, the free agents, and of course... the peanuts.

Exciting times?

After a long long long layoff - what can I say? Got married, took the bar exam, moved to Boston, spent 3 weeks in Australia - I just wanted to write a quick post:

First off, a small requiem for Ed Wade. I can't really say I'll miss him, but I just wish we had hired Gerry Hunsicker instead of Pat Gillick. But hey, you can't have everything, and I definitely am glad to see the Wade-ster outta here.

Second, please please please trade Burrell or Abreu (whichever one will get you more in a good SP and 3B) or perhaps package Thome and Bell for the nearest young 3B. Beltre could be nice, but I really doubt anyone would do that deal. I'd settle for Edwin Encarnacion or something like him (since the Reds wouldn't do that deal either).

Finally, congrats to Ryan Howard! Basically wrote the ticket out for Thome, I guess.

More substance later, though I must admit the Philly blog scene is pretty fruitful without me right now.
