Yeah. We’d have’em right where we wanted ‘em.

I think maybe this whole thing is just a ploy to lull other teams into a false sense of security because our shortstop, second baseman and third basemen are going to combine to hit like 15 home runs this year. If you think about it, it’s wily. I say let’s get Freddy Galvis back here and give him a chance to start in right.

I’m thinking that others are looking at the injury list and thinking that maybe, just maybe, there is now a reason to play those games out. I’m thinking that the Phillies are thinking the same (check Charlie on his offense).

I think this would be a whole lot easier on us if they had just handed us the World Series trophy on January 15.

I think it will also spatter your bizarre work of art.

Really hoping they play a game that counts soon.

It MAY break your heart, but it will no doubt shatter your star chart. It rhymes.

I think the very fact that you would suggest the Phils are merely the greatest sports game team in the galaxy and not the greatest sports game team in the universe reflects just how far the mighty have fallen now that Utley is out. It kinda makes me worried you might think there’s a team in some intergalactic galaxy that can outplay the Fightins. Now I truly understand what Bart Giamatti meant when he said that baseball is designed to break your heart.

He has a chance to play for the greatest sports game team in the galaxy, he doesn’t have room for misunderstandings. Especially since he’s pretty bad at sports game.

I agree that it seems really strange. This says it was a misunderstanding and that Castillo thought he had all day today to report and will probably play tomorrow.

Seems like Luis might be more interested in just going home, playing MLB 2011: The Show, and collecting his unemployment from the Mets. He might not have any other choice at any rate.

It’s a 6 hour drive from Miami to Tampa. It’s taking him 3 days to get there. In 3 days I can drive from NJ to Cancun…
