Maybe The Dipsy has his “autosignature” set up that way LOL.

My pet peeve is the phrase “me thinks”. When I see that my blood boils. Conversely, someone may hate seeing “pet peeve” in an email. I would agree with them as I hate that too.

But are we any better off Ed with Cain? There are like 7,000,000 comments associated with that link I sent. I think Blaton has better days ahead and is pretty useful. Moyer has me much more concerned and they wont pull him anytime soon.

Seeing moyer starting tomorrow just made me almost spit my drink out, but he pitched adequately against the reds (no offensive help) and he’s always been good against the Fish. I give him the win tomorrow. But it comes with a little anxiousness.

Dipsy, do yourself a favor, stop assuming you know any one of us on these boards. Those who do know me, know that I am the furthest thing from touchy feely, but rather someone who believes in treating others fairly and respectfully. Call it corny, call it cliche, I call it human.

AL right, thanks Ed. Lets hope that Moyer keeps up his mastery over the inept Marlins. Later…

Why not try and get Matt Cain? He’s 24, got 3 more years left on his contract, and who knows? Maybe a couple World Series rings on his fingers.

I’d give them Werth or Vic plus donald maybe a pitcher in A or AA.

Since you have Mayberry seemingly ready, Vic and Werth become expendable..

Ed, a team can have 2 Ace’s lol…..Giants do..

I completely agree with you Little Guy. I am just saying that when people talk about the Giants and their ace, they generally are not speaking of Cain. Only because Lincecum is obviously so awesome. But yeah, they technically do have two Aces.

Cain is being mention for some better hitters then we can give up like holiday, Werth and carrasco might not do it but we could try,

I agree mikemike. I think if Cain goes anywhere it will be for a stud hitter…Matt Holiday, Victor Martinez…guys like that.

They’ll trade him for Holliday, then Billy Beane will trade Cain, like he does with all his stud pitchers….

Donald wasn’t drafted in the first round either Ed like Utley. But i see your point we shall see.

mikemike…as you can see, I am pretty high on Donald, as I am also pretty high on Cain. Trading Donald would not be my first choice but if he was part of a package for Cain, and the rest of the package was decent, then I wouldn’t be too disappointed at all.

Won’t argue with you there littleguy. I’d take Cain over Peavy in a heartbeat. I think Peavy is past his prime.

From CSNPhilly.com…

But the oddest stat – and maybe most important – was that the intentional walk issued by Condrey to Rodriguez in the 10th inning was just the second walk surrendered by the Phils’ pitchers in the three-game series. Lidge walked Johnny Damon to start the ninth on Saturday in an at-bat that the pitcher said was the most costly one he had in that three-run inning.

But the Phillies starters – Myers, J.A. Happ and Hamels – went 20 innings without issuing a walk during the series against the Yankees.

AMAZING!!

I do NOT think we should trade for pitching YET, but for craps and giggles, I am going to suggest something, hear me out. How about someone like Mayberry and Donald for Cain? I mean, think about it – Giants need hitting… Although, AGAIN I don’t think we should trade at all YET, it is fun to talk about.

So you want a young, projected top of the rotation guy, And you are willing to give up a ultitiy player and a fringe 4 or 5 outfield prospect. Sorry only ed wade makes those trades. By the way Michael Bourn is hitting 300 and stealing bases, and Geary has help them, so that trade wasn’t as bad as people think we won a series with lidge, which wasn’t going to happen in houston. And Houston got a starting outfield and basestealer and a relief pitcher.

Geary is currently on the DL…which might be an improvement for the Stros cause he has an 8.10 ERA. As for Bourn, he is an 8 hitter batting at leadoff and thats only because he is fast and can steal bases. Even with Lidge pitching like garbage right now I still think the Phils are the clear cut winners in that deal.

My can’t you people can’t read little guy I said the trade work for both , lidge wasn’t going to get them a championship, and bourn is at almost three hundred and geary is hurt but posted 2,53 era last year. The point is both team did allright. Houston got a speedy centerfielder or outfielder who can steal a base, and when not hurt a decent relief pitcher and yes the phillies won championship. That is the way trades are suppose to be, both side get something. And how lopsided is it if lidge is one year wonder and houston get a 26 year 300 basestealing outfielder. M.P.AKA Phillies Phan Sc Geary was fine when not hurt but you don’t seem to be able to see any stats look at last year when healthy, I am not here to argue with you but look at both side, they both got something they needed. houston got speed , we got a closer,

The little Guy I would expect you to say that ,no power because he is a fleet outfielder who can win games with his speed. It’s is something I wish the phillies had off the bench, that’s why I was hoping Golson would be a 4 outfielder on this team, with his defense and blazing speed, it could win you 3-5 games a year. The phillies don’t need anything ? EVEN A BLIND SQUIRREL FINDS A NUT SOMETHINGS, for me to say to you both teams got something is like that squirrel so I am not trying to make you understand. lidge won us a championship and houston got speed , defense, and a relief pitcher who is not bad at 2.52 before hurt a 7 inning buy, and Lidge in Houston wouldn’t have won them a championship, they are too far away.
